   Had them and within 5 minutes had broke inside. If you want them buy decent ones, not the cheap one's off ebay, go to Halfruads.

    "liquid-cars" is/was the name of the seller. hes not selling nything the now but a search for footwell neons in ebay will give plenty results. if they break....? theyre cheap to replace. i put my car into the garage for an accident (not my fault ) they broke one so i jst bought nother set.

    ive got two but depending how you wire it up i dunno... they dont use much electricity so prob enough to make your car visible from the moon. the two i have are 12" an theyre pretty bright. i was gonna put two smaller ones on either side o the centre console but woulda been too bright an its illegal to have them if you can see the bare bulbs

    i didnt use an earth an jst knocked out the cig lighter with a hammer an screwdriver. used the + an - the connect the black an red wires that my neons came with into the black box that you get with them. you plug the neons into the box an the only reason for the box is to split the electricity to two neons. sound compicated?

    On the image below (the bottom of the 2 images) if i put a switch on the yellow wire will it mean the lights have to be on AND the switch has to be on for the neons to work or will it just totally not work?

    mine are wired into the cig lighter so yeah they can only come on if my sidelights are on. if you wire in like the top image you can switch them on any time... the switch is in the wire which leads to the brown wire which is direct to the battery. if you wire in like the bottom, they will come on when your sidelights an surround of your cig lighter come on.

    Cool I think I'm gonna do that. Much easyer having the switch on the dash rather than in the footwell!
