thought of a great neon idea

[System]

i have a plan for my 93 VR, instead of just putting neons under the car like everyone else, i was thinking of placing neons under the seats inside, and wiring them up to the door light control, so that when u open a door 'BING!' instant disco lighting

anyone tried this b4?

its nothing new, most people (including me) just place the LED/Neon strip in the front footwells and wire them up to the interior light circuit, pretty easy to do, under the seats wouldnt be too hard either but you have to make sure theres enought slack on the wire to account for adjustment on the seats.

yup ^^^ we did that too in the VN, looks great. we did under the dash etc in the footwells for the fronts & just under the front seats for the rear footwells.

I have neons in the foot well, kinda sick of it really. I don't turn them on anymore.

Lets ponder the title of this thread "thought of a great neon idea". That would assume that neons on a commodore is infact a great idea. Which it isnt. I can handle the interior stuff from time to time, under the footwells and under the seats, i used to have them myself, but people tend to think neons are the be all and end all for customisation, its a little bit to ricey.

But in answeer to this guys thread, the idea is older than the filament inside your neon. Its simple and easy to do and probally costs you aboug 60 bucks.

just crush his hopes and dreams why dont you. my VS Calais has green lighting in the footwells, and and the back standard, so its not new, BUT if you think its a good idea, and you want it, do it!

[weedo_86]

as calais v8 said if you wanna do it, do it. its your car not anyone elses

[azzfox]

A bit of lighting like a couple of neons in the footwells or under the seats isnt too bad, as long as you dont go overboard. *a certain maloo ute comes to mind*

my neon sits behind the middle seat once its lifted down its shines on my amp and goes on off 2 my music its wired 2 the back light so when i turn my head lights on at night its turns on----no use having it on during day anyway i just chuck down the seat and bam and easy 2 hide if i get pulled over :P

we did that. but solid light not a flasher. just in behind the pull down middle section of the seat.

i thought neons were legal if they were inside the car- not outside under the side of the car?

hey guys.
can someone explain to me how to wire up the blue neon lights in the foot well to my interior lights?
i wanna do this to my VT wags....
is there a how to on thins anywhere?

[Grennan]

Well i did mine a while ago via a switch i placed on the center console. Just spliced the wires from the cigarette lighter. Would imagine you would just need to splice into the wires that connect to the door and the light. The door opening would act as the switch.

you need to find the wires going to your main interior light, they run down the drivers a-pillar. mine were easily accessed behind a panel above the accelerator pedal, i dare say yours will be different. Once you found them splice and solder the wires for neon to the pos and neg interior light wires. easy.

im pretty sure there illegal if they distract u in vision or are red and blue any1 confirm this?

[azzfox]

pretty sure no red or blue and the actual neon cant be seen (only light)

[System]

heh well considering the trucks out there with all thoes lights on at night they look like bloody xmas trees lol

oh and great photos there, that looks great hopefully i can do the same for my car ^^

[GAMBLR]

hey guys. if i have the lights already in the footwell, can i jus tap into them and hook the LED's up to that, so they light up with the door?

yep sure that will work fine, i have a mate planning on doing the same, should be even easier as you dont have to go searching for wires!
