If you don't want to worry about a fuse, I'd say just do this:
- mount your neon wherever you want it.
- run the wire through your carpet or whatever. Chop off those ciggerate plugs, you dont need nor want them.
- run the wire to your center console, or whereever your cig lighter wiring is.
- your cig lighter has two wires going to it. One will be black. this is ground. the other should be red of some degree. this is pos.
- go to menards or wherever and pick up these plastic wire connectors. Basically they have two holes surrounded by plastic. One hole (hole 1)goes completely through and the other one stops halfway (hole2). The wire you want to splice into (pos)goes into hole 1, while the positive wire to your neon goes into hole2. Crimp down on the connector and now you have a nice neat connection. (I don't remember what these are called? taps? wire tap? I don't know, somebody else know what these are called?
- the positive wire to your neon I think is the one with the stripe.
- take the other neon wire and crimp a horseshoe connector on it. Loosen a bolt that isn't too important and slip your connector in there. tighten the bolt. this is ground.
- If your not sure, look at your cig lighter assembly. the middle wire is 12v pos. The wire that comes off of the sheath (black wire) is ground. Use that if you can't find bare metal.
- turn your car inot accessory mode and your neons should work. if not check connections, and check the switch on your neon.
