I want to wire two small blue neon crystal tubes under the front dash. Can someone please give me detailed instructions and if possible install pics on how to do this. I would like to wire them so that I can control them via switch.
Thanks!

 

Please tell me your kidding

 

where exactly are you wanting to put them?

 

 

Why? Thats so Ricey!

 

Anyway do what you want not what other people want. You can wire them into your fuse panle. Then just tap in a toggle switch

 

Some people’s minds are so closed about "rice." Neons are the Sh!t. Ok, I ran an extra power line into my car with a fuse for all the neons that I plan on putting in my car. From there I added a switch [actually it's a music sensor that beats to the bass]. The neons are hooked up to the sensor and then secured at any means necessary. At the moment I have them under the dash and in the back seat foot wells. It really isn't that hard all you need is power and a ground.

 

WARNING: I put neons in my car and it caused my car to have SRS (airbag) problems (see my thread)...the dealership guy says the transformer in the neon tubes creates an electrical field which messes up the frequency of the airbag sensors causing the srs lights to come out..the dealer guy could be bsing....but be very careful and wish u luck that u dont have the same problem i had.

 

I think the guy was bsing. Pretty much every electrical device puts out a field. Say, you put in a radar detector. It causes a field, but I haven't heard of any srs problems. Might have been b/c of which power line you tapped into.

BTW: Neons are not rice. They are nice.

 

I just installed neon blue lights under my dash (2003 A-Spec) and the next day my SRS light came on..i only wired them to the park lights and grounded them out ...very simple looks great but SRS is on ..dealer told me that it may be the seatbelt harness sensor ...coincidence??i am taking it in on wednesday we will see.

 

i have the SRS light come on mine all the time... and i have no neons hooked up... i brought it to the dealorship, and they said it's just a glitch and happens all the time...

 

are you trying to use the neon lites as footwell lighting? well you can tap into the dome lite wiring harness that is located on the passenger side fuse box...then the neon lites fade just like the dome lite...pretty koo...oh yeah...you can add a switch if you want to control the neons...but if you want them to turn on without your doors open, you need to add a second ground...just do a search for the wires you need to tap...

wait...the ground controls wehter it goes on and off?...i thought it was a the postive...so when im hooking up neons to work with the light in my trunk..i suould use the negative wire from the light or find another gorund?

 

i think the dome lite uses a passive ground for when a door is open the circuit is complete then the dome lite turns on...so you need a second ground if you want to turn on the neons w/o opening the doors....i think thats it..read it in this forum a while ago...search for footwell lighting...

 

yeah..your right...if i use a dirrernt ground they wont turn off....hmm...so is it safe to run like 3-4 neons off the the wires....they seem so thin....i dont want them to melt or anyhting

 

Took the A-spec in today for undercoating and to service the srs indicator light ...they told me it was infact the seatbelt harnes that caused the problem.. they replaced it and it didnt come back on ..even with my neon lights...time will tell...Also got my windows tinted looks amazing

 

I have the under body kit and the under dash kit and have yet to have a problem, Go for it whats the worse thing that can happen you have to just un hook them

 

i have 2 10" tubes and 2 15" tubes wired up to the dome lite wiring and no problems at all...they all fade out just like the dome lite...laters

 

the dome light wiring and the trunk light wiring should be the same right?..im gonan be runing1 20inch sound activated neon a strobe and 2 6inch mini neons....

hmm i ordered the 20inch in red and the 6inchs in yellow...you guys think that wpould give me a good effect...im going for a firey look....

 

the dome lite and the trunk lite uses different wiring harnesses...do you want the neons to be on even with the trunk closed? i only wired 2 "15 tubes to the wiring harness of the trunk lite...so when the trunk is closed the neons are off...i believe if you want the neons on even when the trunk is closed it tap into the power wire of the trunk lite and bolt the ground wire to the chassis and use a switch so that you can turn them on or off...not sure if this works cos i never tired it...btw i unplugged the wiring harness for the trunk lite so that doesnt turn on anymore, just my neons.

let me know how your firey look comes out...cant wait to see the pix...laters

 

thanx for the info...im trying to do exatly what you have..i want them to turn off you light...just needed to make sure it was safe to tap the postive and the negative from the trunk light wiring harness

 

no problem njtls...

yea....it's safe to tap into the trunk lite wire harness.
