I'm just wondering how much power the typical 12" neon uses? I want to hook up a few (maybe just two in the front, or maybe two in the front and two more under the front seats for the rear) and have them controlled with the pin switch that controls the dome light. What do you guys think? Should I just play it safe and run it with a relay and have the realy controlled by the dome light switch?

neons dont take much power at all. i think its somewhere around .25 amps or something

I would use a relay any time you add something to the electrical system. If Honda didn't put it there, then it wasn't meant to be there. So use a relay and fuse your power source. By the way you would probably have to use a relay anyway because your dome light is probably a negative trigger so you would have to reverse polarity.
