i wired mine up to the ciggie lighter wires, then put an inline switch set into my glove box. the ciggie lighter wires are perfect as they are fused and nice and thick too. brown is live and black is earth.

You lose your ciggie lighter though that way. But if you don't use it it's much quicker, and easier way to install. If you want your ciggie lighter then you will need to wire the neons to the battery??

Hooking them up to a switch is easy. Check out eBay, you can buy 2 footwell neons, all wiring, and a switch for £8. And they are good too!!! Cant say fairer than that

You can still have use of the ciggy lighter by just tapping into the power and soldering the wires. Works for me anyway :-)
