Buy a neon kit, as they often have a switch + inline fuse already wired i'm pretty sure.

i just went 2 jay car and bought a switch suitable for 12w neons and im running 8 of em inside, but they also connected to my parkers (so no headies, no neons)

i respect that everyone has their own opinions and have the right to do their car the way they want. but i gotta say, putting neons on a nice new FN2R is gonna look really tacky and cheap...

if done properly, neons can look great.. but I laugh everytime I saw cars with neons underside of the body which do not cover the whole length of the car

ooooh under your car... i was talking about interior neons..... you can buy neon/led sets which come with a switch and evrything! not that expensive either, friend brought a pack for 160, with 4 blue led's 2 remote controls, and took 2 hours to install, and they have different motions (flash with bass, left to right, blablabla) u dont even need a switch for em! coz they work with a remote control and hook up to a motherboard like usb ports...

just installed them its not neaon that i bought its ccf tube or something pics coming soon, i installed it in the front under the dashboard similar to the em ambient light option for the new civic type r only cheaper :). The two 100mm lights cost me $20 + $5 for cables. These tubes has their own little transformer and i wired them up with the glove box light so they turn on by the main headlight

another option is to wire it up with the door switch... so it will light up as you open the doors

I have the oem interior accent lighting for my FD. Looking to get some neons or leds to replace the oem ones. Cos i find it too dim. Has anyone successfully changed theirs? I have a feeling i have to cut and solder wires together to make it work.

Personally i have seen some Very Tacky installations in some Car's.
One being a Friends R31 Skyline, but then again his car wasn't too clean inside.

The images that you guys have posted bout under glovebox neon's look Rather good but i think this because it also has them above the pedals aswell

e.g. If you have a Light Black/Gray interior and you have only a blue neon under the glovebox it wouldn't work very well.

Sidenote: i find if only one side of the car has neon's, Like only below the glovebox and not above pedal's, this makes the job look extremely tacky, And personal i reckon they should have to Run off there Own Switch.
