Neon Electrical Source

Does Anyone know a way to create a seperate form of power to run neons. I had neons in my previous car and they were wired into the accesory 12V, but they drained the hell out of the battery. I just dont want that to happen to the 7th Gen. Thanks for any help [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
( I dont care if you think neons are rice plz dont flame)

Either way you look at it, you're still getting power from the same source. Is there some magical "other" power source that wouldn't drain the battery? And also, you won't be draining the battery if your running your neons with your car ON... please dont tell me your running them with the car off???

I agree you cant really drain your battery if you have your car running with them on. your alternator should take over. right??!! correct me if Im wrong.

As long as you have your car on, your alt will assume the power duties for your accessories and essentially anything wired to the batt. To a certain point that is...

Neons are there just to show off and look cool. I have in the last couple years only see one fool drive in the city by me with his neons on, and unless he shut them off shortly after I passed him, he probably got pulled over that same day (Murrieta is full of cops). I personally like neons and I literally just minutes ago ordered some for my car.

See from my understanding your not alowed to drive with neons on at all. White probably just doesnt look like its neon or something (never seen white on a car so I dont know how bright or how they look)
