installing footwell neons help

[Salmon]

hey im having trouble geeting behind my vt's dash etc to install my neons. i need to get behind so i can find a possitive wire to use. iv had a look at trying to remove some plastics but i cant see any screws. could anyone help please?

thnx

[MattyC]

why not just use the positive wire that the deck uses?

[Salmon]

sorry it was just a matter of getting behind all of that S*** to get to the wires.

its alright tho, i finally found out to remove the glovebox so i can take a screw out and get in there.

ill post some pics in the end.

what I had for a while is two 30cm neon tubes under the front seats. One neon per seat and they lit up the carpets in the front and the back :P
But cant be bothered cabling them properly so took them out.

Will look good. post the pics up

yer i decided to make the effort and make sure no wires are seen.
it should be done tomorrow :P

yee i couldnt be bothered getting it into a groundcable and all that... so i just wired a 4 port 12V attachment to my center console, got 2x30 cm tubes under dash in the front and a fat neon that hits up the boot and glows into the car when the center rear seat is down. makes the boot look nice as in the night.

Im about to install footwell neons and was wondering if this circuit will work?
sorry about the quality



the switch is what worries me the most (the serperate box). because it only has 2 tabs, i have 1 positive going IN, and 2 wires coming out. will i lose power by doin this?

just a thought

cheers.

The only problem I can see is that you are putting neons in your car, besides that it should work.

lol gold ^^

but yes it should work.. very basic circuit.

I had foot well lights in my Calais and since there a 12V sorce i simply cut the bulb and rewired in the neons. Used the double sided tape and placed them up in the foot wells.

I just hooked mine up to the electric windows under the switches, that way when you turn the car off and get out they stay on for like 40 seconds untill the window realy drops out so looks good when you stop and jump out.

this sounds like an awesome idea! i like! what colour is the wire to cut into? cheers

Before cutting any old wire check the current draw of the item you wish to install . wiring them into a circuit that was designed for so much current load and is fused to that load only you could in the end overload the circuit burning out fuses and wiring in the end . use a relay to control load and current draw . if unsure consult a auto elec for wiring tips

yea completly agree, dad is an auto electrician so i got a fair idea and was gunna use the wire to switch a relay. so does someone know what colour?
