hey guys i would like to know how i can wire 3 or 4 neons on one single switch, and where would i go for the hot wire. Also some mounting ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kyle

 

Leave the bling bling neon for the r1cerz

 

Just splice the wires together. All the hots together, then the grounds togther, etc. As for mounting the ground wires, you can find places under the steeering colum or where the shifter is. It has to be metal and part of the car. If you don't hook it up right usually nothing will work. So if it's a lighted switch you'll know it's grounded properly when the switch lights up. Hope this helps. You might want more than one switch if you're hooking up alot of neons though. Just to be safe.

 

that's a negative thing to say, neons on a camaro or any other car is far from "****" or any other ignorant slang. it's personal preference and if you don't like it then don't do it. personally i put one switch for every set....what is it your trying to wire together?

best bet is to make sure you have a large enough fuse for all the amp drain the setup is pulling. once this is achieved be sure to have a good ground for everything as well.

go to www.streetglow.com as they have a message forum with some very smart people who can help you with this sort of thing. i have close to 70' of neon now and i have 8 actual toggle switches and 3 remote relays for all of it.

 

Leave the holier-than-thou putdowns for the r1cerz, too.

 

exactamundo.. any hot will work just run a wire from a hot to the switch then from the switch to the a hot for a neon, then from that neons ground to the next ones hot and so on for all.. You can wire them parallel too but I prefer the series method. Then from the last ground just attatch it to any ground (metal attatched to the frame) Make sure that the hot your using has a fuse thats big enough to handle the extra power, or upgrade the fuse.

For an example I just took off the dash spliced into the hot from I believe the cigarette lighter, ran it to a push button switch mounted next to the fuse box, ran that wire to two neons mounted under the seats and then ran a wire from the last ground back to the dash and stuck it under a screw holding the dash on. Very simple!

 

Before you wire them all to one switch, I would consider using a relay. Even if the total current draw of all the neons doesn't exceed the current capacity of the switch, it still makes for a better installation when you employ a relay.

By using a relay, you can run a small, low current wire from virtually any 12 volt source, through the switch and to the relay. Then you can run a bigger wire directly from the battery (fused of course), to this relay, which in turn will have all of the neon wiring connected to it.

Flipping the switch will energize the relay, allowing the higher current from the battery to go directly to the neons transformers. Simpler, safer, and smarter.

If you need information on how to use a relay, check the electronics forum.
