Yeah quiet good idea about wiring them up to the cig lighter, but if for some reson you dont want them on you screwed lol and as for them wired up for only coming on when the door is open. wouldnt you have to sit with you door open just in order to have them on when you wnat them on??

But I would only have neon to show mates, and mates would see them when getting in the car, and I wouldnt drive with them on.

And if you hard wired in the blue led's you could always put a small switch somewhere along the wire leading to them, so if you have the headlights on but dont want the LED's on just switch the switch.

Yehh, theoriticalley, I could have a wire coming from the interior light, and one from the cigarette lighter. they could both have a switch on them, so I can have the switch on from the cigarette lighter off and the other one on and they will come on when doors open, then i could have the one from the interior light off and the cigarette lighter switch would control when I have them on or off, or both off and then not at all ... if that makes any sense :S

blue or white neons?

Andy-Lee 29th August 2008 11:58

blue ftw

This may sound stuuuupid, but I've only just worked out that the interior light is also a rocker switch. LOL so if I want them on while parked with doors shut, I can switch the switch so they stay on permanently. lol and I can always put a blue LED bulb in the interior light or take the bulb out.

ahhhhhhhhhh so you can i forgot that aswell well there you go then lol spot on! would look well with a blue LED in the interior light insted of the bulb! the only thing with those neons are they take a min or so to warm up and give off a bright light when the first come on the arnt the brightest but a spose you can still see then good in the darkwhen your gettin in and out!:y:
