Hi all, just received my neons in the post, they have come with a switch, and a inverter
I want them to run wen I turn the lights on, but have no clue how to do it,
Does anyone know how to do it, pics to follow,
Thanks

You could piggy back the live off the front lights, to do this you will need either a connector block or crimp it (there is another type with a blade but cant remember there name). then run the Neutral to an earth point.
I have little knowledge of the neon lamps but at a guess i would wire it as above.

im thinking about using the cigarette lighter light n wiring to the back of there. you reckon connector blocks are best to use?

wire it to cigaret lighter socet and put switch on
i dont think driwing with neons at night is legal. some think about dusturbing other drivers etc.

Connector blocks are quick and easy to use. They aint the best or the tidyest tbh. Personally i would though crimp them but then again its if you have crimper.
Wiring them to the cig lighter with a switch would be a better option due to the extra control and they can be turned on when the front lights are off aswell.
