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

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.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
