Neons

what would be the easiest way to wire my neons, so that when i open the door they turn on only on the side that gets opened. I was thinking the courtesy lights on the doors, but idk if they get enough current. So my second idea was to use that switch in the door sill that turns the courtesy lights on, dome light, the key beep and all that other wonderful stuff. thanks in advance for the help...
full LED swap coming soon!!!!!

I put led's in my door panels, and tapped them off the door lights, so they only come on when the doors are opened. That's another option if you feel like ripping your door panels off, depends on your placement of the neons

the neons, if there LED's.. wont draw much power at all. you should be fine running them off the courtesy lights. just make sure you match the gauge of the wires.

haha fuuny story. I had my friend lock me in my trunk to see how bright the. Neons were. It was open just enough to make the trunk light socket turn on. When I got it to light up I said "well there's no semen in the trunk, I hope nobody came on my floor mats"
