How to connect neon lights to light switch?

[LukasVSS]

Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone knows how to connect Neons to the light switch so ever time at night when you turn the lights on, neons turn on aswell? Cheers

depending on where you hook it up, eg. the centre roof light has 2 wire running into it, a orange (positive) and a orange with a white stripe thru it (negative), simply splice into those wires and run to ur neons and thats it.

Well im placeing 2 neons at the front - 1 under the passangers side an 1 on the drivers side. So when i turn driver lights on at night the neons come on aswell, not for the centre roof. Iv taken the dashboard off where the light switch is but i dont know which wires to connect the neons too.. Cheers

I think you mean the parking lights, Easiest to splice into the wire for the globe on the ciggy lighter.

I spliced mine into the auto shifter light thing, cause its still there and mines a manual.

I connected one to the brown wire coming from the demister swtich. See the following thread:

Yeah i want to put them in both sides at the footwells, but only want them to come on at night when driving, so when i turn my headlights on, the neons come on aswell, simple way of doing that?
Cheers

tbh best bet is to have an alternative switch because if u get pulled over at night, u wnt be able to turn em off without having to turn ur car lights off, get a switch, drill a hole in the flip down plastic piece under the steering wheel and wire it to that

exactly what social said i think thats the best way to do it.

Alright guys here is a photo of the lighter wires theres a brown, black and grey wire but what is what, also iv got a 3 connection switch aswell which the bloke from autobarn suggested, On the switch it says "Power" "Acc" "Ground" But what goes where? Cheers

ok, the gray wire is the light for the cigarette lighter, so when lights are on, it turns on, so i would suggest you "hack it" with another wire that goes to the switch (PWR), then attach the neon to (ACC) just ground the the (Ground) to the black wire(?) might need someone to correct me here. (i only worked on the cigarette lighter once)

but if you want it to turn on when when the doors are open, then do what Social mentioned, hook it upto the center roof light

[LukasVSS]

Na i just want them to turn on when i turn the switch on just incase of getting pulled over

[HRVATSKI_VOJNIK]

just go to Dick Smith or Tandy and buy some 3~5Amp fuses
then just attach a wire to one end of the fuse, and the other end to the (PWR) on the switch.
then put the fuse in an empty fuse houseing
