Run it to the fuse box underneath the driver side. Pick a larger fuse so it can handle the power and make sure its not an important fuse, cause if its important and it blows then.....well you get the idea. Happy modding[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

it isnt too good to put it in the fuse directly and he said theres a transformer inside the plug so he's still stuck with that...

The easiest way to hook up neons in a car is to hard wire them to your battery and put a switch in to control it. Here is a small wiring diagram from you.

actually easiest way is to wire it to the cig lighter, dont have to worry about running the wire through the firewall... well unless if you have an underbody then ya the battery would be best

Their is a hole that is very accessible on the passenger side under the carpet. All you do is take out the black kick gaurd under the dash and pull the carpet back and run your wire thru.
