ye its easy, you just unplug the light, then just put the two wires onto the wires you have just disconected, forgoten which is positive and negative, so if you just wire it up and if it doesnt work swap the wires round

yeah sure, just use a flat blade or something to unclip the light and rereoute the wires going into it... although i wouldnt want a neon, ive wanted to make a pad of 10 or so white LEDs and use those would be much better than the pathetic factory light
