Installing Interior Neons...big pic warning
So i have started this today and thought id make a How to on it at the same time as i couldnt fine one anywhere on the net lol!
So what would u need?...
Car(Tigra A in this case LAYLA )
Interior Lights(Can find these on ebay for cheap)
All purpose adhesive
(i went for adhesive instead of velcro or double sided tape because this will be there for a while lol and i did not have any velcro
Switch(also cheap from ebay)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
And time...
SO!
At first i got everything together as you do when doing something like this .
Pulled off the fuse cover and had a look where i can get this in,
Thought to myself that i will not be playing arround with fuses!
SO...
took out the ashtray...
Then thought lets find some power quickly..using the wiring going to the Lighter i disconnected the lighter unit and connected the lights to the wiring and...
Had a w00h00 moment for a second...sip a coffee and went on thinking wherre i should mount the passenger side neon...so i mounted it right behind the parcel shelf...
Took off parcel shelf...
Had a look see if it would work...
SO...
Layd the adhesive..and attached the light
tied it down with twine to keep it there until glue dries,
Glue dried...
fitted the parcel shelf back in place and lay wiring through back of ashtray
connected it again quickly to have look see
Thats it for now, i will continue this when weather is slightly better and i got some time, all questions,views and opinions more then welcome!
