ok, today i was trying to put neon tubes into my friends corolla. I ran them to the cigarette lighter fuse. I connected one wire to the fuse and then started the car, it didnt light up. THen i connected both wires ( the positive and the ground) to both sides of the fuse, but they still didnt work, is there anything that i am doing wrong?

 

Don't connect the ground wire to the other part of the fuse. Only the power wire goes to the fuse. Hook up the ground wire to a metal screw or bolt. That should help you.

 

does it have to be grounded in order for it to work???

 

Yes

 

ok - thanks alot........does anyone else have suggestions on the install?

 

You're welcome.

 

Thats all you need to know man, it should be fairly from there.

 

try his way... then if it still doesnt work, you might have blown a fuse... check it and make sure!

 

seems like electrical. i have my units connected to a switch with ACC, ON/off and ground needles. the wire connected directly to the switch has a fuse, the others dont need this. good luck, its just like installing fog lights. If you have a relay, it can be a pain. your not suppose to bypass that, i still do it anyways.. i can never get relays to work, just use a fuse..
