Is there a write-up on how I can custom wire neon tubes to a switch? Can someone inform me on how to do this?

 

ummmm, you run a wire from a constant 12V to the switch, from the switch to the neon, you can ground it pretty much anywhere.

OR

You could just buy neons with a cig plug anf get a 4 plug adapter.

 

thanx, I'll probably do it the first way because I don't want any wires to show. Any suggestions on where to get the 12V? Cigg lighter?

What if I'm using neons that come w/ a cig plug, can I cut it off to connect to the 12V source?

 

cut it off and solder to the cig wire the switch inline to the pos. wire

 

be careful, only with some can you just cut off the cig plug, if there is a music beat sensor on the cig plug you cannot just cut the plug and wire it. It's wierd but true on 2 diff 12V car things I tried.

you can solder wires onto the cig plug and it works, or you could get a spare cig (female)plug and wire that to the car.

 

i have 1to4 12V split adapter. two for underdash neon tubes, one for center ZAX blue console, and last one for my radar detector. all wires are under the carpet, nice and clean. neon tubes are secured by zip-tie. sounds ghetto, but it's the easiest way and looks nice.

the only downside is that my neons are always on cuz i need my radar detector as well... oh well..i have neons for about 1 year, it hasn't die yet.

 

i dont really like the look of neons so i threw leds down there instead, its pretty basic and saved me about 20 bucks since i had extra leds from my dash and switches

 

that works too, and leds are safer because they use hardly any power, it wouldnt matter if you accidently left them on for days!

 

go LEDs theyre more unique with all the ricers out today....maxima is not a ricer and if you think it is or want it to be youre on the wrong website

 

So how do I do this with the LEDs?

 

Talk to Araffio Or just look at his cardomain site! He is the LED guru.

 

is there a write up for this? I am not that good with wiring, meaning that I dont have experience with it, i would like to wire up some lights, and a radar dector as well, as my phone charger, clean with no wires ( or little wires for the cell charger).

thanks

 

first of all, FUSE YOUR 12 VOLTS i cant tell you how much that bothers me, if you want a fire then dont fuse it
