hey mate

ok if you want it to run of the cigarette lighter. first remove the middle console, after that you will see the wires that connect up to the cigarette light. best way to do it if you do not want to cut the whole wire off is to, splice both wires, and then make sure you know which one is the positive wire and what one is the ground wire. after you’ve done that make sure the neon’s light by connecting the wires to the + to + and the ground or - to the -. the neon should light up. ok your problem you might have is that your neon will turn on when you turn your interior lights, as the cigarette light turns on when you do so. so that just in case you do get pulled over by cops, and you want to turn the neon’s off. put a switch between one of the wires. for example, the neon wire use the positive side of the wire, and cut it in the middle or preferably where you would like the switch to be along the wire. after that just re-join the wire but join it running through the switch, so that if the switch is off the wire is cannot make the circuit complete therefore no power is given to the neon, and when you flick it on the power will flow through. Remember to solder all connections and tape them up, so no shorting problems occur..

hope this helps, pm me if you need any more help

just wire it to one of your electrical ports near the steering wheel.looks neat all you gotta do is run the wire straight to a switch that will connect the link and disconect with a fick of the switch...what i did anyway

My only advice is dont do it.

If you HAVE to do it, look at your fuse box for the interior light circuit and take the power off there. Its about the only legal way to do it.

You will be taking a risk drawing cuurrent from the cig lighter if you don't fuse it.
