Under the Dash Help!!
Monday, March 28, 2005 1:31 PM
Im just now starting to put in my neon tubes under the dash ( blue) and on the passenger side it looks good like nothing is there, but on the driver's side it doesn't I drilled it as close as I could to the plastic but I think you can see too much of the tube when the lights aren't on in the day time. If someone could please post pics of what theirs looks like and how they set thiers up.

Well if i understand what you are saying i had a problem with being able to see the neons and i went to home depot and bought a 1/2 by 1/2 L shaped aluminum stock.
i then cut it 1 in longer than the neons and i polished the hell out of the inside part of the bracket with a dremel. and painted the outside flat black to hide the aluminum. I then securred the L shaped bracket with zip ties to the under part of my dash. and used double sided tape to hold the neons in place. Now you cant see the neons at all and i have yet to have someone notice the brackets i made, since i installed them over a year ago.

I cant take pics right now...

But on ur passenger side, right up under the door for your glovce box... On the left (near center console) you have a tube that kinda takes a corner. I shoved one end of ym neon over that tube

And the other end... Theres a 'factory hole' on some random peice of plastic under ur glove box, ZIP TIE!! lol

As for the drivers side it was a bit harder, and mine isnt straight, I jsut zip tied it to some reandom holes I found, it works.

I didn't even use neon tubes. I bought these "Euro Designz" lighting kits. They get wired in electrically, but the lights are probably the size of a half-dollar, but bright as hell. They were REALLY easy to hide.

Actually, I've seen a few bootleg lights that actually get connected through the cigerette light or power adaptor, lol. I saw a few neon tubes that way, and this nifty looking light-up shifter.

yeah you can still cut off the end of the lighter adapter and hard wire those in. The neon I have in my sunroof was like that and that's what I did (as well as extend the hell out of the wire so it could reach the power source =P)

^^^^ Almost sounds like this should be moved to newbies forum lol.

If the fuse has a "10" on it, its a 10 amp fuse. If its got a "15" on it its a 15 amp fuse.

And of all things... DO NOT "TAP INTO" an existing fuse, add a new one.

Its much easier just to add an inline fuse.

dont go to the fuse box at all ...holy hell lol


wire it to the power wire that goes to your ciggarete lighter and then put a switch somewhere for them


ciggarette lighter = constant power source...if you want you can out a fuse in it...but theres really no point...they dont use enough power to need a fuse
