Problem...

[mason001]

right, when i had my install done.. i wired a neon into my interior boot light and disconnected the actual light.. a few days later the neon blew.. any ideas why? (i'm not good with this type of stuff)

[hesslevtr]

maybe faulty neon or wires caught and shorted out

so what would you suggest..? take it back and swap it or have a general play around and see what i can do?

upto if you take it back

errr.... my mate stripped the + n - wires off the interior light, and simply just wrapped the neon wires onto it, into a block so the neon acts as if its the interior light.

so is there a possibility the wires may have touched each other then or even come lose

Try the neon on a 12v live see if it is the neon or your mates bodge wiring
