I have been considering getting neon tubes to put under the seat in my TSX. I don't want to plug them into my lighter but I am not sure how to go about pluging them into any other 12 vold power source. One guy told me to go through my firewall and to the battery but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone tell me a way to hook it up without using the lighter?

 

let the rice begin!!

j/k

just hook up all the tubes in parallel and run them to the fuse box under the drivers area for power. you still have to find a ground for it though. im not sure what fuses are in the box as i have not looked at them yet, but you want t see if there is a fuse in there such as a light on fuse so that neons will turn on when you turn on your lights. if there is none a simple solution is to get a cheap switchat radio shack and install it in the 2 empty slots by the vsa and sunroof slots to control your neons.

 

why, why, why, why????

cant people be happy with a nice new luxuary sports sedan without feeling the need to rice the hell out of it?

 

i disagree.
neon lights applied dimly can act as under dash mood lighting which is not rice.

under car lights are rice

 

I vote rice...in a big way.

 

 

I looked at the fuse box under the driver’s side and there are 5 open spots. The only ones labeled with anything pertaining to light is "day light" and "Intr light". I know that I will have to find a ground source somewhere but as for the rest of the stuff, you will have to explain how to hook it up in greater detail. In other words, explain it to me as though I were 2 years old. If that way does not work, putting in a switch sounds good to me too, however, that too would require another detailed explanation. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

 

you can stick the wire in a existing fuse spot. just wrap the wire around one end of the fuse. im not at home so ill draw you up a diagram later.

as for for the rice flaming let him do what he wants. isnt it the purpose of the community to welcome members and not to start judging them right off the bat?

 

If I recall correctly, you, accsueprstar, were the first to make the rice comment, joking or not. Also, majormojo's brilliant picture clearly shows that he didn't do anything "right off the bat"...finding that clip took thought and time.

 

Actually, I've been saving it for just the right moment... Unfortunate that it was unleashed on a n00b. Oh well. It's all good fun.

 

If you are using a neon light kit that plugs in to the DC power outlet just cut the adapter off and splice it into the center console light ( just under the radio AC unit). That way the neons will turn on with your parking lights.

I have already done it to mine with very soft accent lights. Maybe I take pic and give you instructions later if I have time.

 

If I could get them to come on with the lights that would be perfect. If you have time to give me the instructions that would be great.

 

Are you talking about the light in the little storage place where a MP3 player could go and if so how do I access the place where I attach the wires?

 

at least im offered him help afterwards and not just making a rice comment that does him no good?

 

I want those little lights that the kids have in the heels of their shoes that blink when you walk around.

 

lmaooooo @ id888
i think those lil kids are riceboys in the making
