Wireing for neon lights in interior

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone would know how to do this. Basically I want to put some neon lights under the seats maybe a blue color. I want them to have three different phases. Phase one would be to come on with the dome light when the door is opened. Phase two would be "on". and phase three would be to be bass sensative. How would i be able to wire something like this? I was thinking about useing a switch taht has three different positions.. This is just an idea .. tell me if its doable. Thanks

Matt

They sell boxes that will flash your neon's to the beat at http://www.lowglow.com/ . As for having them come on when you open the door you could use a relay. You could hook a switch up to that same relay to turn them on manually.

One last question... for you guys with a bunch of interior accessories and other stuff. Where do you wire it to? I have things going to the fuse box but it looks highly unprofessional. Is there anywhere else to get +12v from inside the car?

You can hide the wires by running them behind the kick and rocker panels. You can also get power from power seats if you have them. That is what I am going to use when I hook up neons under my seats.
