does anyone know how to remove the handbrake handle and replace it with a new one? thanks
 
aftermarket handles (such as momo) usually slip over the old one and fit perfectly. the other option (with cheap universal handles) is to cut off the old one. i wouldnt recommend doing that.

Re: hand brake

ive dun this, im sure you will be scared at what i am going to say now, i now have a momo handbrake, you have to saw the old one off then place this one over the other bit, but be careful of ur seats and the button i was and mine looks fine!

Re: hand brake

you could connect the neons but the interior light if you wanted to or another 12v source, no it's grey which has now also been changed to a black fascia as they did not have any black ones when i ordered my fascia plate quite a while ago, look on ebay for the black ones.

Wouldnt recomend running them off teh interior light TBH...

you'd probably be better wiring them in as with a set of foglamps via a relay with a switch in the cabin. Just remember most Neons have the driver circuit encased in the fag lighter plug itself which would need to be re wired (probably with the use of a soldering iron) and proper neon driver circuits put out a very high voltage which can cause serious electric shocks / burns :dead: And LED "neons" often have the voltage regulators / flasher units built in and will burn out if connected directly...

BTW james on the Fog light thread i have put up a wiring diagram hope it makes it look easy :D
