yea you cud use the live from the radio
that way they can only come on when the ignitions on so no chance of forgetting they are on lol!

my friend did some in his doors wiring em to the electric window wires,
only problem was if you turned them on the windows opend lol

took us ages to wire them all up and thought yes, this is guna be good and then we had to redo it all.
decided to just do it from the fag lighter, which stopped the fag lighter working but since he dosnt smoke its no biggy lol

then again it was a renault, not best cars for wiring things to

you just need a swich simmlar to: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=98091

dead easy
it just goes in the circut

basicly you have a wire going from live (or positive) to a swich then to neon starter box
then a wire from neon starter box to earth (or negative)
mount the swich somewhere on your dash,
the neon tubes i had just plugged in to the starter box and hey presto it workes

was trying to find a diagram but most are overly complicated!
