tap in on the interior light on roof its piss easy and comes on when u open the doors (looks trick) and also when you turn the interior light on when inside takes all of 5 mins then just a matter of tiding up your wires

Personally I think its much easier to run to a live feed such as the live feed used for your stereo (should eb easy to find) and then run them through a switch so that they have power all the time yet are only on when you want them to be, thats what I shall be doing with mine when I get my replacements.

dammit, i knew you'd ask that, and thats the one i dunno know so much.

you'd have the find the wire which is on whenver the sidelights are on, so i suppose you'd have to take the light switch out, find which wire it is using a multimeter. Cut it in half, strip it back and solder it back with what it was connected to and to the live for your neon.

then hook up a earth for the neon, and stick it somewhere

You can connect it to anything with a 12 volt power supply. This can be done either:

directly to the battery (with a switch)

connecting it to a pernament supply already in the car (this will be a red wire and again you'll need a switch)

connecting it to an ignition live (black wire)


also you could connect it to the sidelights so that they only come on at night

you can run direct from the battery of tap into any perminante of ignition live, a voltameter is advisable.
