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!

only problem was if you turned them on the windows opend lol

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!
