How would I wire this neon set up?
Wednesday, August 02, 2006 12:37 PM
Some how I want to wire them up to the button inside the door, near the door hinges.

I want them to light up automatically when the door is opened and then go off when shut, While being able to turn them on/off on my command by a toggle switch in the dash, wether or not the door is opened or closed. I heard I need a relay?

the way i had mine wired up is with three seperate grounds. one ground to the driver door pinswitch, one to the passenger side pinswitch and another ground on a switch.

Do those eyelids always come separate or can you buy hoods like that with the eyelids already molded to it?

You could have some fun and wire in a relay. The negative trigger on the dome light will switch the relay, and complete the circuit. All lights will turn on when your dome light is on

So either you open the door, or press the button to turn your interior lights on, hehe.

if u mean mine i think there may be a few companies that have hoods with the eyelids moulded in for fires. not sure if anyone makes a cav hood with eyebrows allready moulded in or not.

Yeah, I was talking about yours, I'm thinking about doing the CavFire deal. The only way I'll do it is if I do those eyelids with that front bodykit, that looks so good.

^^ However, the dimming effect of the light can blow the transformer on the neon tubes. The pin-switch/relay is the best route.

Mine's been hooked up like that for about a year or so. Streetglow gold series (seperate transformer) and running 4 cathodes. Works awesome.
