I have 2 neons in my car that i wired to the accesory port near the fuse box and i put a switch... now what i want to do is wire it to the dome light so that when i open the doors the lights go on AND when i unlock the car with the key FOB that they go on and at night when i get out of the car they are on until i lock the doors with the key FOB... whats the easiest way to get to there? is there something near the front of the car that controls that dome light so i wont have to run the wires all the way to there? lemme know
thanks

Actually i would tap into the wire at the door jam. There is a switch there that turns the dome light on and off. I would just tap into the wire at that point. I did this for an alarm install on a nissan pickup and it worked fine. just take a multimeter and find out which wire is hot when the door is open and tap into that wire. it will power your neons that way. that would be the easiest install locations.
