okay, i did a search, and everyone who said to use the cigarette lighter said to use the red and black wires. well, i don't have red and black wires. i have an orange/blue stripe, and a black.

so this is what i did:

i figured i'd make the black = black, and the orange/blue = red.

so i hooked up the black wires from the neons to the orange wire, and the black/white wires from the neons to the black wire on the cig. lighter.

but its not working... what am i doing wrong?

did you try it the other way? if it did not work in the one configuration, try the other one.

yeah just try the reverse... i just kep trying till it worked. make sure you have the key in acc or on position. that helps too.

Wow ... someone quoted me ... I feel sppppeeeeeccciiiaaaallll...

Ok ... in all seriousness... it should work, and if you're tapping into the cig lighter, do like t2000j suggested and turn your key to the ACC or ON position. The cig lighter only works when the car is turned on I believe.

i should do this for my V1 hardwire, but can't i just plug the red wire into the cell phone amp unit in the fuse box on the left of the steering column?? isn't the cellphone accessories amp like 12V?
