Just curious?! I have 2 neon tubes in my car right now and I bought another two. I have the first two hooked up to one fuse to the battery of the car. Should I just attach the other two to the same fuse or is that gonna draw to much power and in turn, blow the fuse?! Or should I just buy another little fuse box and put the other two bulbs attached to that? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Yeah, he's got a point, being that neons aren't lightbulbs they work differentlly. Ever touch a light bulb after it's been on for an hour, its hot, heat is energy, thats extra electricity, you could run neons for years, they'll never burn out, unless they aren't sealed properly, or some other manufacturing defect, and if you touched them after years, they wouldnt be hot, because the energy they use is used entirely in light, not in heat. So in short, they don't use much electricty. Somewhere in the single digits of watts, if not less.

Somewhere the neons should list current draw. Add all of them up. The current draw should be 80% of the fuse rating. And the wire should be of sufficient gauge to handle the current. Basically a 10 AWG wire should be connected from the fuse holder at the battery to where you are hooking up the neons.
