Sexy Neon Lights When Doors Open, VP

[azkwazere]

Hey, just me...

Is there anyway to tap into the system that controls the interior light(dome) in a VP (1992) so that when the doors are opened, my set of neons under the dash go on. Figured you could just steal the control wire but wanted to know if there was a "proper" way. I spose the Ignition light, the green one, could also be a sorce of power...i donno, wanna make it happen.

i was going to do this but i was worried about them coming on if a copper pulled me over, and wants to have a look at my car.. opens up my door, and "blue defect" looking right at him..
I decided to go with a switch system.

How ever if i was still to do it i would just steal the power wire from that and then dub it to go the to +ive of the neon transformer.

okay ppl this is how u do it okay what u wanna do is running a wire to the positive okay but first what u wanna do is hook up the negitive wire to the switch that control's the light is a negitive switch on the door pillar u will see it. it works that way to so that way when the door opens it hit's a ground plate and then you neon's will work if u need more help don't be afraid to ask

i sorta get what you were talking about, however, the work okay was used a little to much. Am i just running the neons of the ground control switch attached to the door? Wouldn't it be easier to just splice into the power from the loom (for the dome light)...? saves having to take the door off i guess...

if you could just clarify a little that would be awsome, cheers.

you don't have to take the door's of where about's r u running the neon's ?
yeah the ground swtch all you need to door is take your kick panel of and splice in there so much easier then trying to do the dome light thing.........

[azkwazere]

the neons them selves are under the dash and passenger side dash, ie shine onto the feet of the driver and passenger. Should be able to splice into that ok, you didn't happen to know which wire the ground switch is?

[8vl]

ummmmmmmmmmmmm open your driver's door and unscrew the negitive switch and it should have the wire a the back of it !!

I did the exact same(used a switch)... now all l use my neons for is if l drop my remote or something like that in the dark .

hehe, use them to see my gears cuz my gear shifter light is out
AHaha,
god im lazy

Sorry guys(and girls) this is gonna sound stupid, but this is my first car so i need all the advice i can get. Found the switch and the wire is all good. The next bit is how do i wire it up. I figured you would connect the two neons together and then run them to the switch, but ive only got one wire. So how do i connect them to the switch? PLese be a little detailed as i am not an auot electrician and i have no experience in wiring cars...Excuse my ignorance.
