i just got some neon lights for my interior and i was just wondering if it would be easier to install them to come on with the headlights or on their own switch. Thanks

It's own switch ... that way, you can turn them on and off whenever you want and still have your headlights on.

I only got two neons also...where would you put the other four? also, the idea of opening the doors and neons coming on is cool...it would be a great install if a light sensor was hooked into the circuit so that power would be cut during the day (when they cant even be seen anyway) and come on at night when the door is open.

Here, the plan...

2 tubes under the dash
2 tubes under the fron seats shining forward
2 tubes under the front seats shining backeard (for the rear passangers)

My car will be swimming in green light.
It should look pretty PIMP!


I will also put in an overide switch as well so if I want I can cruise with them on, I don't adviser this behavior, but there is a time and a place if you know what I am talking about.

I got some big ole' plans for my max!!! Should be sweet!!!

that sounds really cool, how do you plan to attach the neons to the bottoms of the seats (do you have leather or cloth?). would look really great, esp. with a light colored interior and clear mat covers.

I have all black leather w/ the power seats so I was just going to mount them hidden under the seats? Seems like their is room.

Why don't you guys check out JC Whitney (www.jcwhitney.com) because they have very good prices on Street Glow neons which come with a lifetime warranty so if the neon burns out, just send it back for a new one. They also have a special going on right now that if you buy stuff worth $80-$200 shipping is %50 off.

I'm going to be buying 2 10" blue neons to place under my dash. They will go perfectly with my blue underbody kit.
