it is very very possible, but also you gotta remember neons dont fire up instantly all the time, so it might look retarded

I have a gold series from street glow and they fire up right away all the time but I think it would be difficult to wire the underbody to your brake lights , you would just need to find a wire running to your brakes to tap, and the rest is really easy. It would turn on only when you used your brakes though, wouldn't you want them on all of the time? You might be able to run two different circuits, one with a switch and the other to a brake light but i am not sure.

When you turn your alarm on and off your parking lights are what are flashing. Did you want the neon to just flash when you use your alarm remote?

Leave your neon powered up the way it is and use 2 relays, 1 on the unlock wire and 1 on the lock wire from your alarm. Run the outputs of the relays to the power wire on your neons and they will flash when you arm and disarm your alarm, but your main switch for the neon will also still work.
