Footwell neons !

[csmooth21]

duno if im posting this in the right place but whayy!
i bought this set of neons of ebay. but they dont have a 12v lighter plug thing with them, so i guess i have to wire them to the battery or sumting, ive got a wee diagram with it, but i dont understand it at all, and i have tried 2 do it numerous times and faild, i went n bought extra wiring so that it could reach the battery, but whatever i did, jus melted the wires and made sparks :L lol whooops so please gimmie sum help, and i culd send pics to peps emails if they tink they culd help . cheeerz

lol..."melts the wires" and more than once! I think ur best bet with that m8 it to run em off the live feed that for the lighter socket. just unscrew the ashtray bit (one screw on each corner) then splice the red live feed and hey presto u got power source from in the car that not gonna melt from engine heat or too much power meltin em. Although there are others on here that may have done it differently...lol...like 9v RC controller batteries!

can u run lights off rc batterys? lol...coz i got couple from my race spec rc car lol...does 40mph.

yeah yeah wicked! do the 12v lighter feed, and hook it up to little switches u can buy off ebay and put them on the plastic bit between the ashtray and the gearstick if you know what i mean? run the wires under there into switches. then you can control the neons with that. ive got switches for the footwell neons, rear side window neons, undercar neons and bass! oh and i have a spare switch, not sure what to wire it up to yet...

[danthemann]

iv got 2 switches-one for my footwell led's and one for my amp.

I have UV Neons in my footwells, they were sexy when you wore white shoes. I wired them up with a switch to the rear of the cigarette lighter but they blew because the fuse was in the cigarette connector thing and in order to wire it up i cut it out. So i just send them back and got a refund, even though i had destroyed them and didnt have any packaging

just buy a lighter plug like i did u just attach the wires into it and plug into fag lighter and the neons come with a switch well mine did anyway

[inliner_04]

go to maplins, get a switch, put it inline, and then wire up behind ciggy lighter

they're awesome, mine are the same style but blue

[roperstun]

btw the reson your wire keeps melting is that is obv can not handle the 12v so you could just get some higher voltage cable and it should work fine

i had some in mine (oh the chavvy days)
to fit them all i did was strip the wires behind the cig lighter and wire it in there. worked a treat till one day i kicked the neon with my foot and smashed it lol

[jar_jar89]

probs good u did break it lol such pieces of crap i have neva seen before. They are litterally only worthy of being givin away for free with maxpower!! They are so cheap and people only eva seem to put one in then completley ignore the insallin em in the rest of the car. If u gonna get neons it gotta be a engine, boot and interior install! not just footwells lol.

[roperstun]

im gettin some for my boot im not planing on showing off engine so no point there.
im gona cut a rectangle in my parcel shelf and mount these in the cut so there in middle not on top or middle and then get sum mesh and put it above and below the parcel shelf

[Octane2097]

i grown out of that stuff,
no point doing silly little mods like that i say, spend your money on power!

that said we once wired some red ones to his brake lights looked good alternative to a 3rd brake light
