Technical Neon wiring

[bennett]

I dont no exactly how to wire my neons up, i would like to use the power for the ciggy ligher or from the battery directly, which would be best/easiest.

I thought id draw a diagram of my neons, could anyone make a daigram to show how to get 2 sets of these babies to run off one switch, and where to place the inline fuse?

well you hook up the neg to earth and the pos to whatever live you want.if you hook it up the battery then make sure you fit an inline fuse.
i would fit the fuse inline of the pos before the invertor me'thinks

but how would i get two sets of these lights to run off the one switch?

Simple as that il just go and by the fuse now

i think a SPDT switch is the best bet (single throw double pole) that way you can turn both the neons on with the one switch

 

[bennett]

Also if im connecting it to the fag lighter power, which wires should i connect it to, 3 wires run into the back of the cig lighter

red, black, yellow

the neons have red and black so which wires are taped of which.:slayer:

I thought i would get stuck in with the wiring even if i wasnt completly sure what i was doing.

However it works very well :slayer:

My first successful mod

sorry just had to correct you, you mean single pole double throw, just thought people might get confused with saying something different to SPDT
