i just bought an interior neon set from amazon, and was wondering how everyone else wired theirs. am i ok wiring it into the cigarette adapter in the center console, and mounting a switch there too? or should i wire it into the fuse box?

 

I wired it into the fuse box w/ a rocker switch.

There's some how-to's on here showing you how to do it.

It really doesn't matter though, unless you want constant power or switched power.

 

ok thanks. i was just looking for opinions, didnt know if it was easier/better one way.

 

They are both pretty easy, but using the 12V power outlet would be the easiest way...

 

Get some pics!!!! what color did you go with? I've got blue neons with blackcatcustom blue led custom face guage! It looks sweet at night when it's all lit up, but i want more light in there lol

Has a nifty little diagram I made that says how I hooked mine up... Also more advice from other people.

 

that sounds sweet, got any pics? ill be sure to post some and bump this thread when i get everything installed, but that wont be for up to a week. i got the 7 multi-led one, but i'll probabaly mostly use blue or red.. i have to decide which i like best for when i decide to get underglow

awesome thanks i'll refer to it once i get the neons

Sweet, ya i think i got a pic in my pictures if you just click on the camera thing under my name and stuff, just of the blue neons... I'm going to take picture of the custom gauge tonight and my tinted tail lights at night tonight. so i might just post my interior ones in here too

 

[QUOTE=shsballa023;2037841]awesome yeah definitely post them. anyone else with pics of interior neons, lets see them!

 

Well i posted the one i had, you gotta click on it to see full size lol. But ya i will for sure get those pics tonight for ya and put em in here. I don't know how the guages will turn out cuz they are pretty f-ing bright but we'll see

Yo, what kind of face guage do you have (speedometer) that looks sweet

 

Stock for a 2.4

LOL!

 

wow, i really like the lighting of it. Looks good man

 

Yea, if I wasn't getting the SS/TC, then I would have gotten the BlackCat Custom gauge, w/ a blue backlit & other stuff like that.

 

I've been doing neon interior for about 8 years so i've definitely had my fair share of blowing up neons and melting wires and never tap into the cigarette power wires or any other factory circuit anymore to risky you could fry your cars electrical system if you don't know what you are doing. (That will cost you thousands!!) If you are going to spice into factory power wires make sure you have a very low amp fuse Or you might burn up something and regret a quick and seeming flawless installation. "Better to be safe than sorry"

I run a power wire right off of the battery with a fuse. Much safer and easier to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. But then again I have alot of neons in my car as you can see.

I have two switches controling the two different colors. Blue/purple

The only neons i have wired to the factory wires is in the trunk neons to the trunk switch but the load ins't that great.

I will add some more pictures later of the engine bay and trunk and better pics of my interior.

 

dude ur car is ******* sweet

 

Thanks bro! It seems not much tuners out there are not into lights and presentation as I am. That is real nice to hear.

 

Ya, i'm lookin to add more blue in my car but idk where to put it lol, i've already got the blue for front pass and driver under dash area, custom blue led gauge face for tachometer i just dunno what to do next, and i will be adding blue underglow too, i think i'ma do led's with the underglow kit tho, they are brighter and last longer

 

I agree w/ the LED underglow!

& That's 1 badass car w/ all those lights!

 

I have the 7 color kit by Streeglow. The cool thing with streetglow is that the led is brighter only a little but the neon kit covers way more area unless you get the iceled kits from the uk they are BAD ASS. But way expensive.
Streetglow has a brandnew lightstrike kit which is awesome too it has a wireless remote with led display! Check it out.
I would go with the 7 color if you are on a budget and very easy to install too. Plug and socket series connection. And the blue color in my opinion is as bright or brighter than the single color led kit.

 

alright well i got everything installed, hopefully ill have pics up sometime tonight or tomorrow.

 

Where are all you guys getting your neons or LED's from? I have been looking but cant seem to find anything I really like. Also if anyone has any ideas on where to get single LED's for my tail lights?

 

Yo man, just check autozone and stuff for normal interior leds and neons, as fad as single I have no idea just check internet lol.. And I ordered the plasmaglow flex underglow kit today from jason atjaudio and hope to get installed by april

 

I dont have an autozone around me anywhere. Every other parts store i go to doesnt have them either....
