   So I have got myself a pair of neons for the inside of the car (prob footwells) but I don't have a good idea of the best way to hook them up to my battery. They do come with instructions but lets be honest they dont help as much as I would like...
   
   I know I need to connect to battery but who can help me or someone who has done this before and the best way for it to be done?
   
   Cheers

   When I had neons in mine I wired them into the cigarette wiring loom as wasn't using it, I added in a switch so could turn them on and off when needed, But tbh I can't actually recall turning them on...

   You will end up kicking (or a passenger will) the neons...

   again

   lol i tried to put these in my car last year in the footwells, broke the passenger one fitting it and then snapped the drivers one when putting my foot on the pedal, safe to say it put me off them! They are way too easy to break

    LEDS far better then neons and you can jump on them bend them and they will not break like neons. Neons do have a better glow but replacing them will be waste time. Just put line from battery to inside it may take abit of time to do but this main line can be used for futher mods that may require power such as remote central locking. You can connect to your door sensors which i did as my alarm door sensors had been done. This is so when you open your doors they come on or just put your own switch in.
    My car could be seen from space i had that many lights and strobes wired too it.
