Hooking underbody neons to alarm? Is it possible?

How hard is it to hook my underbody neons to my alarm system so that they flash when I lock or unlock the car with my alarm keychain? Or I should say, is it even possible?

yes, you can easily do that.

if your alarm comes with a flashing light feature, the installer has to tap into the interior lights to pulse them. youll simply tap into this wire and use it to fire a relay.

assuming yoru neon lights light up immediately, the relay will click on and off with the rest of your lights when you lock or unlock the car. You can also disconnect the flashing light wire from the interior lights if you want your underbodies to flash exclusively.

the ouput of the relay will be wired in parrallel to your neon switch.
