Hhhmmmm must blew the fuse dude... ehehheh heehehhe

Messing with the wiring thats what u get :p

Just check the fuses, its definately it...

Yep whip out your honda manual, and look in fuses section. Theres a fuse box inside the cabin and inside the engine bay. But search for something like, "cabin interior light" or something like that.

Other wise Maybe when you cut your existing wiring you might of cut a loop of some sort. Series curcuit style. Dunno Really? :D

Yeh, probably is a fuse. You might have acidently touched the wires together, or even the +ve on the body would have shorted it and blew the fuse.
Good luck! :D

Even if you cut though both the wires together at the same time you would have shorted it through the wire cutters, thats taking that the power was on. :thumbsup:

the wiring for the interior light and boot light are a bit tricky, you got constant 12v to one side of the globe throught the globe then off the the door switch where it gets grounded. you might not have hooked it up correctly.

been there and done that! i tried doing the same thing last weekend, and yes i stupidly blew a fuse. Problem is though, even afterwards it wouldnt work and i couldn't quite explain it. Testing the wires proved there was current running through them (after replacing fuse), the light was hooked up properly and everything, but it still didnt work. It gave me the shits so much that i chucked the now useless neon out and just replaced the original light's bulb with a pissy little blue bulb.

Maybe try a more expensive type neon? ones that are meant to be connected to wires, rather than the cigarette lighter? that may have been a way to solve the problem.

dont need to dissconnet the batter just take out the fuse from the fuse board for the boot light and then wire it up. just pick up some new fuses from tandys or somethin
