I want to fit footwell neons in my SXi C, is this easy to do?
Can someone tell me how is best to attach them, and where to, and how to wire it up, can it be wired to the headlight wiring loom so they come on once the lights are turned on?
Also where is the best place to get them from and how much are they?
Ta

ive stuck mine just under the steering column, gives alot more light, and simple plugged into cigarette adaptor. that way when the cops go bye i can unplug them.

right.
one way to do it is to find a wire which comes from the interior lighting switch mounted in your door frame, as it will opperate off the interior lights when you open your door.
another way is to wire them from any 12V+ constant source and then mount a switch in the positive + supply so they are totaly independant to lights and can be easily switched off.
hope this works

i bought some thought they are for computers they work with 12v, and they come with a switch. i took my ashtray out cut the wire and joined the inverter that powers these to the wire with the cig lighter wire. then stuck one undernieth the passenger side shelf and one under the drivers side footwell. works great and you can mount the included switch anywhere!
