how to install neons?

[peteness]

as the thread said. how to hoook up neons *inerior ones* into my car? (not the cig hole method)

[smok74]

Errr, I've been thinking about ways of wiring up some neons for the under carriage. The most simple way is to hook up a fused lead from ya ciggie outlet in ya fuse box (this way, u can still use ya ciggie lighter), run that to some mirco switches (pick up from Tandy) in parallel, you can have one switch per light or one switch for all the lights, it all depends on how fancy u want it. just make sure they are all earthed properly otherwise you'll end up with a smoke show and not a light show.

One thing, by using the ciggie lighter outlet, you will not be able to have the neons on when the car is not on (reds) but if you take a fused lead from the battery, you can have the neons on independent of the car being on or not.

In QLD... neons inside or outside the car will cost you a $150 fine and one point...

I think the cops call the fine "being a wanker"....

Nah seriouslly, people with neons up here get laughed at.... Mainlly because there only found on excel's......

I did have 4x6 inch neons in one of my cars. In the front up under the dash and 2 under the front seats... To light up the foot wells...

All you need to do is run a parralell circuit off switches or off a door circuit as i did...

Remember its non-legal ligting and will cost you a fine if you are seen with them on...

Not that I'm in favour of neons but what the hell IS legal in Queensland? Driving a commodore basically...

[Sloupos]

iv heard that down here in Vic, you can have any interior neons u want. but exterior u can have as long as their not red, something to do with ppl confusing them with break lights or traffic lights... that or some1's pulling my leg

but i know u can interior for sure

neons in vic are legal aslong as not Any of emergency colours, white, or traffic light colours, neons either must be on or off, not flashing/ dazzling

so that means, no red,blue,green,amber,red,white neons........mmmmmmk only purple,pink,gold,bright yellow, Deep green etc.

Hey,

How about LEDs? We sell kits that produce millions of colours, how do they class those colours? They also chase around the car etc, is flashing lights a problem with different states?

[illusiVe]

flashing is illegal in all states as it can immitate emergency vechiles. Leds, i dont specifically know, i'd say they are legal as long as they are on the ONE colour. Chacing is also illegal due to it being "dazzling" its the ON / OFF as far as i know VIC is the most leaniant state on neons...which is surprizing

[=premo=]

hafta say i dont like neons, but a mate had one under the driver and front passanger seat and the glow from the light looked sick, especaily when the tyre smoke got inside the cabbin
