ohhh and btw they are the interiorones, i wuld like them to be sitting where your foot rests in the front seats, any other questions just ask

[Denno]

I guess you want to hard wire them? You probably could have posted this in the Electrical/Wiring part becasue it doesn't mattr what car you have, it's basically the same to install into em all :P.
Anyway, if you wanted to just use the cigarette lighter then just plug the connector that you should have got into where the cigarette lighter plug is (just under the place for your cd player), then use double sided tape, screws, cables ties or whatever to hold it up in place under the dash.
Otherwise, if you want to hard wire them, then I suggest having a look at this site:
Installation Guides

Hope that helps.

If you have access to a test light and soldering iron, find a wire connection up under your dash and hard wire them into a cable that has power when acc switch is on, then route it to an on/off switch if you want.

haha each to their own tho, i just un-did the guards on the b-pillar n ran the wires to the pos n neg parts of the roof interior light. then just hide wires under kick panels etc. works all gud cos when u lock the doors, as the interior light goes off so does the neons, same with unlocking it at night, u get a nice glow of what eva colour u put in. i actually suprised myself on how well i actually did cos i was in the same dilema as u, but havent had any probs so far.

Every one has there personal opinion i accept that, but why bother posting if it is negative feedback? im not trying to be a 'ricer' if thats what you mean, ricer would be me having a typical blue neon
Neway, thanks for replies

Its the question he asked its his car now get over it and mayb help him with his questions?

some models have the wiring that the calais use 2 light up the footwells so u can use those as VX executive said they will work just the same

If u take off ur kick panels u'll find globe holders attached 2 the ends of the wires taped up 2 the sides i think they r orange with a black trace.

man why green? red looks killa with a white car?

[Denno]

Not bad mate, looks good. I think you have to be careful with hooking it up to the fuse box though, cuz I think I have read that if you do that then when you want to take the neon out, the fuse won't go back in properly again. But that could have just been some over-cautious people saying that, I don't know myself.
Good choice of colour :P

I like the green! Ive got green LED rods in my front n rear footwells, in my boot and green undercar kit! *Awaiting rice attack*

lmao yerr green is good, alot better then blue, thats 'too ricer'
i didnt go red becuase the interior lighting is green, dont think green n blue match together, but culd have gone the conversio
Thanks for the replies,

[UNKNOWN]

Plus everyone gets blue so why follow!!!

[WJD634]

Just a quick question, do you know what each of the coloured wires are? Which is the positiv and the negative for the interior light? And what are the other wires there for? Thanks.

People diss neons but boy is it useful at night when i drop something. It beats trying to find it using your foot haha.

[UNKNOWN]

Haha, ^^ too true!

id rather spend time on something that shows than an ssv that any old joe can buy off the showroom floor, compared to the cars ive seen come through work, yours is no show and no go so cut him some slack

dont listen too anyone, do what you wanna do because end of the the day theres ALWAYS going to be something bigger and better than yours, no matter what you own.

and theres always going to be people on both sides of the fence so be happy with what youve got and if you dont like it then its your own journey

I used to have the full neons, i got over it and now i dont like them at all.
everyone said i was a ricer when i made my cluster blue, now cars come factory like that so whos laughing now?

[Ozzie]

They would look ok in a car thats had about 30grand spent under the bonet.
They look "try hard" in stock cars.
