View Full Version : Neon Lights inside car

I dont really like the lighting at the moment with 97 TF magna's in the night.

Im thinking of some how chucking in about 5neons in the car and attach a swtich near the driver seat to swtich on and off, so I can see in the night when trying to start car.

Im thinking of green or red neon lights, giving the feel of a army tank/airplane feel.

Any one know how I would go about doing this?

Best thing to do is get the neon lights and follow the intructions on the box. You could mount them anywhere from just under the dash (foot well) to under the seats.

Maybe get tricky and try to hook up some sort of capacitor so that they only stay on for 20 seconds or somethin (May not work with a neon)

your lighting is limited by your imagination!

Just buy a switch then u connect the switch to the neon, power, and ground (i think thats if its illuminated switch, if not i dont think you have to ground it - cant be sure though). Get the power from somewhere like ignition (accessories) Have a look up under the dash near the pedals and you will be able to find something. Those tester lights are brilliant so you can see which wires/points have power running through them. Then just ground the neon.

I have 2 neons connected to the one switch, but I dunno how many you can connect - i guess unlimited but i dont know that much about these things.

Mine are blue 12" ones installed under the dash near both drivers and passengers feet. Very effective and gives a nice mood light

mmm.. I was thinkin the same thing, but aint sure where to drag power from... any suggestons? ie, direct from the battery? headunit, or is there a power source somwhere in the footwell? :?

Im going to use 6 blue neons inside the car when i get a big of spare cash. I just finnished my under car neons and they look absolutly mental.

Blue is just tooooo cool.

I took my power straight from the battery and wired a switch neatly into the cabin.

As for legality, they are legal to have and legal to use when the motor is switched off. Anything beyond that then the boys in blue will hammer you. Just use your common sense. I mainly use mine at cruises and around the local suburbs off main roads. Also at uni, its good fun.

Hey all,

your talking my subject - hehe!! :lol:

my undercar neons are linked from the cigarette lighter!! a switch has been slaved in to it - yes an illuminating green switch.

about 2 weeks after i put my under car neons in i put in a neon under the drivers side foot well - just above the pedals.

you biggest thing you need to remember is to fuse everything - i used a neon that originally had a cigarette lighter attachment - cut that off and fursed it in line with the switch so my neons come on at the flick of it - in car and under car!!

the windscreen washer jet LED's (okay not neons but similar) are, sorry, were slaved into the parkers - however with that - it means you cant turn them on and off separate from the headlights - therefore the cops saw them and i had to plead ignoranc - i hate doing that - it makes me feel so stupid - oh sorry officer - i didnt know they were illegal?? yeah right!!

but - yeah - i have my switch mounted at the back of the small console just below the HU in my car - just put my fingers in to flick the switch!!.

if i was just setting up interior neons - i would put them in the front under the foot wells and in the back under the front seats - other wise you can see the tube which defeats the purpose of the glow!!

my brother has three in his corolla (my old car) under the driver and passenger foot well and also mounted inthe middle of the back seat.

i wish i had a digital camera to show you what i mean - then i could go snap happy!!

From what i've seeb the black in car neons aren't as good as the neal fluresent neon tubes. They don't seem very bright. I was going to get one for my car but don't really know where to put one, i still want to put 6 blue neons all over the cabin.

With the whole power issue, idealistically you should run a fused line direct from the battery and then go from there (Safety first....)... However not everyone can be bothered... If you're going to leech off another circuit in the car, be mindful of the load you're going to apply to it... If you have to leech off another circuit for whatever reason, try make it the cig lighter circuit as it's fusing is relatively decent... Just guessing (feel free to correct me), two neons would be safe.. any more and you'd probably want to run a dedicated line from the battery... Besides, I'm guessing that with the number of neons in the car, you'll pretty soon want to do other electrical mods...

There aren't exactly set laws on neons I don't think, but the general census seems to be that you can't have them on whilst driving... Some other people have said you can't have the tubes showing, whilst others have been defected even with them off (mind you, it was probably another mod that attracted attention to it in the first place and the cop wasn't in such a cheery mood...)... Guess it depends on the cops in your local area... I haven't had any run ins with them so I wouldn't know...

Anyone got any info on the legalities of neons because as far as I know no one has it down on paper as to the laws of them... Seems to me it depends on the cop's mood as to whether you get a warning, fine and/or defect notice...

AussieMagna
08-04-2003, 05:27 AM
The majority of accessories i have (except the radar detector, that runs of the ciggy circut) is connected directly to the battery and is fuses withing 30cm of the battery and wiried to switches inside the cabin.

A simple safety warning, fuse everything you do. Its not hard or expensive to buy a simple fuse and fuse holder from your local electronics store.

Also i just invested in a multimeter, for $26 its the best thing i've bought so far, i don't know how i could have done without it... Would have saved plently of time in the past (parabolic headlight conversion comes to mind.... urgh.... cringe :x )

Oh well...

Hmm.. these neons sound hard to do for a first mod.

I might just stick with a big tourch or get one of these,

they look like they stick in the car lighter

ROFL!!

Neons are easy to hook up, but you should get them wired in properly if you're thinking about going into further modification... Heck, I wired neons off my electric mirrors for a little while just for fun once... Neons came on every time the mirrors moved.. Go get yourself a test light or multimeter and start probing points until you find a constant 12V... then just leech off that.. I really don't recommend leeching off a circuit where you don't know what it's for, but if it's just the interior lighting circuit, probably the worst that can happen is your lights just dim a little bit..

It's not that hard at all.. give it a try...

Otherwise use the money for a Maglight =) I've been hit by one of those (not the keyring sort, the full size ones =/ ) and I woke up a few minutes later... Wasn't intentional, I happened to lift my head up whilst two friends were grabbing it off each other and one let go.. it swung and hit my head.. probably explains a few things =P

AussieMagna
09-04-2003, 07:47 AM
sure sure night, i'll bet you were sneaking around someplace and a security dude took the maglite to you :P j/k

I recon the best curcuit to leech off is the ciggy lighter, fused fairly well.

AussieMagna
09-04-2003, 07:48 AM
But for neons i would just run a wire straight of the battery into the cabin, hook it up to a switch and run the neones off that. Simple.

mine go off the back of the ciggy!
easy to install! wired them to a seperate switch on the centter console

09-04-2003, 08:35 AM
lol... and why would I be sneaking around..? *tries to hide stolen extractors* j/k =D

Yah, I had neons in my old excel running off a cig lighter plug for the first few days, then went to chopping it up and running it from a switch as it didn't come with one at all...

How'd you get the switch in the centre console, pines? I've been trying to see if I can find a plain panel that I can somehow fit over the pocket under the head unit and then drilling holes to mount cockpit style switches... If I can't find it I would have drilled into the back of the pocket... sorta sounds like what you've done... how is it?

09-04-2003, 08:48 AM
well my center console the little compartment thingy is broken so it doens have the relice thingy so thers enpough room for the switches there.. its all wired underneth through the centerconsole....
hrm...
yeah well...
hard to explain... another spot u could do it would be in the dash just next to the stering weel on your left hand side... theres a nice spot for it of if u want to concele it more go just above your left knee on the inside there some wares

My mates cousin is a cop in WA and apparently a law has been passed recently that allows you to have in car neons on while driving as long as they are not visable from someone standing three meters away from the car from all four sides. Dont quote me on this, but i will find out more info from him, ie the actual law number/code (so you can keep it in your glove box for emergencies).

If anyone wants to scan the road laws on the net for this, please feel free too.

When i was pulled over a while back of an RBT ( i wasn't tipsy i sware! :mrgreen:

Well anyway i asked the nice constable a few things and he said you can do what you like to the inner cabin as long as it isn't a major distraction to yourself and other drivers, so he said neons are fine but strobe lights are pushing your luck. He just said try to keep the neons bellow the windows and you won't have any problems.

Don't hold me to this one, you know what the boys in blue are like, one says one thing another says a completely different thing. Oh well.

Well I now have 4 green neons to be used in the foot wells. Much fun coming up soon :)

I want to hook them up so they can be:
(a) on perminantly
(b) on when you open the doors

I have some ideas on how to do it, should be fun :) lots of fun to be had with relays and fuses :)

Night
14-04-2003, 06:24 AM
LHM: Had the same sort of idea with my Magna, only there are individual door lamps in mine so I could possibly just tap into that...

I was thinking the other day though, you could get a DPDT switch and wire it so that if it's in the first position it would take current from the door circuit (illuminates if door is open) and the other position direct to battery... I know, really basic, but for some reason I hadn't thought too much about it...

i'm runnning 3 red neons and a set of red washes straight off the battery,
they are earthed under the carprt of the front passenger seat. i've got two stitches..one for each..1-washes 1-neons. switch are next to the backwindscreen wipers button near the cigge lighter!!!
look good and run awsome!!!! great for dark darwin nites down at the wharf!!!!!
neons are easy as to install....i'm not car electronic expert but just a lil thinking can get u places!!!!!

I've been thinking about getting neons, well actually Cold Cathodes (http://www.below-0.net/belowzero.asp?contenttype=products&menuid=453054359&parenttitle=Case%20Mods&childtitle=Case%20Lights).

<plan:>

I'm planning on wiring them to a 3 way switch:
a) Always ON
b) OFF
c) Automatic ON / Cabin Light mode - wired to the center cabin light, so when you open the doors, they come on, then 30secs later or whenever the cabin light goes out, the neons switch off too. For this little feature to work, the neons themselfs would be wired to the cig lighter(?)/battery, and a relay circuit would be used, that would sence when voltage was supplied to the 12V center cabin light 'door open/timed' wire, to inturn activitate the relay/neons.

Probalby use this Jaycar relay driver kit:

Only problem so far is I've yet to work out where the hell the wire for the cabin light is under the dash! Anyone know?

I just pulled the dome light apart and hooked my multimeter up to it.

Wiring is such:
RED wire = 12+
Red/White wire = 0V/Doors
Screw bolting it to roof = 0V/Ground

So it appears when the doors open, etc, the Red/White wire connects to ground - therefore completing the circuit to make the light come on.

However, the location/route of this red/white wire is unknown still. I wasn't gonna pull my roof apart, but with just the light removed I could tell that the wires were coming from the front of the car, not either pillers between the side doors.

So who is gonna stick there head under the dash and tell me where the wire went!? :D

You should be able to find a source for the courtesy/dome light circuit fairly easily in the drivers footwell. If magnas are the same as diamantes, there are lights in the doors that illuminate when the doors are open. The wires should be found behind the plastic kickpanel in the footwell. A few minutes with a multimeter, and your all set. As another note, relays are definitely something that should be considered when adding lighting to your ride. Some lights require a large amount of current to work properly, and will not reach their full brightness without full access to a strong, dedicated 12v source. They (relays) couldn't be easier to use, and they are really kinda fun. Fuses are also not optional, but if you want to get the most out of your lights, run a relay that allows them to be switched on by a circuit of your choice and then supplied with power directly from the battery.

Cheers-

Hey jewelboy - magnas - well not mine anyway - dont come with the lights in the doors or kick panels or whateever like the diamante - would be cool though - and 50 bucks?? how the hell??

Also welcome abourd - hope to hear more from you as the days go on!!

08-05-2003, 05:09 PM
Well, that sucks. However, you can usually find the wires for the domelights in the kickpanels (that plastic panel that is where your foot hits the side of the footwell) since that is where the pin switches for the doors are. There should be a big bunch of wires coming into the car from each of the doors, and the wire(s) will be there. Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been lurking around for several months now, just not too many posts. I have not had much to do lately, as I am stuck working in Bermuda and there is absolutley nothing going on at night. I know, bored in paradise...

My TJ has red lights in the front doors, *however* it only comes on if that door is open - so it'd be pretty shit to wire neons to.

My brother's mate owns a verada - he said his neons were wired up to replace the existing footwell lights. I didn't know verada's even had footwell lights??

Just get your self a toggle swich and run your power wire from the battery to the swich and then to the light and as 4 the ground wire, just hook that straight from the lights to the negative battery terminal. :D I found that a good place 4 the switch is in between the coin holder and the gear stick but i dont know how this work on an automatic as i don't know what the console looks like under an automatic. :doubt:

Just another thing... In the late model Magnas where the boot release has been relocated to the glove compartment, the old location has a nice place which will suit a toggle switch discretely... The hole itself is a little larger than the standard 8mm mount, but with a washer or two, it'll sit quite nicely...

ive got 4 under cars, one below the grill and the little bonnet lights, all hooked up to little swicthes that light up when ya turn em on, this set up lasted bout a month until now 2 of 4 under car neons work and its wierd since the 4 run in a round circuit so when 1 dies, they all should.

There is a metal wire that runs the length of the solid tube inside it - this way if a tube blows or cracks it only stops one tube from working - however the only way to replace it is to get a whoole new box set and replace the tubes and have spares - thats what i had to do when I had my front one kicked in!!

Just buy a switch then u connect the switch to the neon, power, and ground (i think thats if its illuminated switch, if not i dont think you have to ground it - cant be sure though). Get the power from somewhere like ignition (accessories) Have a look up under the dash near the pedals and you will be able to find something. Those tester lights are brilliant so you can see which wires/points have power running through them. Then just ground the neon.

I have 2 neons connected to the one switch, but I dunno how many you can connect - i guess unlimited but i dont know that much about these things.

Mine are blue 12" ones installed under the dash near both drivers and passengers feet. Very effective and gives a nice mood light

I dont really like the lighting at the moment with 97 TF magna's in the night.

Im thinking of some how chucking in about 5neons in the car and attach a swtich near the driver seat to swtich on and off, so I can see in the night when trying to start car.

Im thinking of green or red neon lights, giving the feel of a army tank/airplane feel.

Any one know how I would go about doing this?
i know this is an old thread but i thought since i have a lil first hnd experience ill help out

mount your neons and buy a switch. run all the power wires from the neons to one of the terminals ont the switch and than run all of the earth wires to a good earth. now add power to the remaining termanal on the swith and wamo u have a neon set its alot of messin arond but its worth it. i put a custom UV lighting in my car which consist of 13 UV neons 2 of which a strobers
just becareful as they are really defectabble :P

I just put 2 neons in the car last week... Got em for $20 at autobarn... their just the tiny ones, i mounted one under the glove box at the bak and one at the bak of the steerin console so both neons are hidin, den we jus hid all wires in the main console and pluged the cigi lighter power supply in and hide the wire for that thru the pull out ash tray.. den we mounted the sound control under the steerin wheel console too... its mad i can have the neons on or off or beatin to the music, got the green ones they light up both floors in the front when on at night looks pretty mad... u jus need to find a good place to mount the sound control meter so it can pick up the music bass and beat with it good. If u want to mount 6 u can buy a cig plug that plugs in and on the other end has 3 cig plug holders so u can mount 3 sets of 2 neons... can get them from autobarn from around $30.. im thinkin of gettin one in a few weeks to mount another 2 sets of neons in the car.

helpful hint with wiring these things dont cut the cigerete light jack!!! most of these things have a built in fuse and will blow the **** outa the neon. well itll burn it out ny how
ive went through 4 neons by doing this the best way to wire is to connect a wire to the side metal of the jack that is your earth so do as you should with the earth wire from there. than a wire t the top of the cigerete jackk and that is your power. if this doesnt work play around with the earth wire by that i mean switch it from one side of the cigerete jack to the other earth metal. your gunna have a hole bunch of wires to try and hide but itll save you muny on neons trust. last thing you want is a blown tube they cant be fixed.
