Do u guys think it would be ok to have 2 "glow job in a box" tubes from neoquip on my sides and move my current 2 max power tubes from the sides to the front and back.

Think you would notice a difference between the brands?

yeah, sounds like the starter for it is fucked, take it bk and get a replacement tube. as i said before my mate who used to work at an ice shop took him 10 kits to finally get some that worked.

I now have 3 out of the 4 working. Just the back one to sort.

It don't work at all, also one of the black boxes at the end rattles when you shake it, the tube looks fine tho. Any ideas?

the reply about fuel pumps...i ran the wires for mine close to the fuel pump, is that possibly why my speedo is going haywire?

Nah they are fucked mate and that is nothing more than full on dodgy wiring. Sorry.

Well today was not good. Nothing was connected for the neons but when i was out driving they started melting and had the most amount of smoke ever. Stopped the car(middle of road) hazards on, bonnet up and i see sparks . I have no tools or cloth to help me, I was rather worried. Evenually got them seperated and my dad came down with wire-cutters, cut it next to battery so had no chance of power. Due to the fuse being at wrong end of circuit there is a chance the neons have blown!!

I have cut + removed all connections, going to start again on Wednesday and hope the neons aint bust.

aint being funny, but if im buying a set of neons, like i have, i want em all lit all the time. well, im waiting for an answer regarding why im having trouble, but if no one can help they can have them back, simple. aint wasting my money on shite equipment.

I have had the same prob in the wet where the furthest tube from the x-former was only 1/2 lit.... but only in the wet.... problem was condensation in the tube no no probs.... Streetwise/Max power kit.... Also dont run the neon wire close to the fuel pump as it affects them.... good connections r vital.... i got these stright through crimps which we use at work which have no insulation...... Crimped the neon wire, filled it with solder, self amalgamating tape, fiberglass tape and finally heat srink just to take no chances:thumbs:

ere, i got them, there streetwize aint they. just been to the guys hse today where i got em? think mine is a power problem as i tried another 3 tubes, and found 1 that was fine then it started playing up again, only half lit 1 or 2 tube, the ones furthest away from the tranformer. is the prob ur having?

im getting the guy to speak to his tech guy tomorrow 2 sort a soloution.

Think its Max power. Bought them off my mate(still sealed in packaging).

Asked another mate to have a look and says its done wrong but thinks the neons might have blown.

Going to see what the deal is on wed, fingers crossed i dont have to buy more neons!!!!

posted on 16th Nov 03 at 15:41

my mate tried about 10 different tube on his before he gave up, they kept blowing on some and the transformers were dodgy on others, he gave up in the end.

hmmm looks like there aint a fuse there!


Richie

Either a short or a VERY bad problem with the transformer drawing loads of current and melting the wires.

Anyone had any problems with them and how did you overcome them?

I want to see i have have a similar problem or if i have created a new one!!!

P.S. mnie dont work and when the wiring was changed at the switch the wires started smoking + melting together!!!

Can have switch on all time - neons dont work
Switch as a switch - neons dont work
Other way of wiring and wires melt

any suggestions?
