I just bought a couple of LED neon tubes to put in my car and i want to hook them up to a switch so i dont have to use the crappy cigarette holes to power the neons. so heres the question...how would i wire this so i can run it through a switch that i bought?

 

I was gonna try and help you out but as I was typing, I confused myself and lost my train of thought. Gimme a few minutes to work it out.

 

first off.... I'd try this how to, it helped me a lot, and it might do the same for you.

where do i get the power from and where do i ground it at?

 

anyone???

 

thinking....you can ground it to almost anyplace metal. What we did on my friends car friday night, was run to wires, one on the positive terminal on the battery, and one on the negative. If you run wires from your battery (which is in the trunk). Otherwise you could run a wire from the positive terminal in the engine bay and just find a ground, either on the frame or someplace metal where you can just put a wire on. This is just my guess. It is tough because our battery is in our trunk, and I don't know if you really wanna run wires from your trunk to your dash.
