Neon Lights?
Anyone install the neon tube lights inside? If so, did you hardwire them? Ive seen these tubes available at my local auto store but they all come with the plug attached to go right into your power in the dash. Can this be cut off so that the lights can be wired to a switch?
Many thanks

Never installed a set, and most likely never will, however if they are rated at 12VDC and plug into your power outlet on the dash, then they can be cut and hardwired into a power source or through the contacts of a switch, provided the switch contacts are rated high enough. When doing this, keep in mind that there is a positive and negative wire. it would most llikely not matter which is which, but I would keep the wires as they originally were, that is positive=positive and negitive=negitive. In addition ensure they are fused properly for their rating.

If you are just looking for a different colored interior light you can buy LED light bulbs to replace the dome light bulbs. You can find them at www.superbrightleds.com and they come in various colors and sizes.

Okay, I missed the anti neon light policy when i joined. I have seen some other members who put the colored lights under the dashboard and to illuminate the center console and such. Was just interested in seeing if they could be hard wired. I like the neon blue that one f my switched throws off and would like a small tube under the center dash.
Since Im asking questions....I want to install hydraulics so that when my neon lights are on and the system is thumpin, I can feel like im in an Impala cruising south central LA. Any tips on this?
