How to Connect Neon Lights in a Car
Having neon lights on a car is not always accepted by the authorities. Therefore, before purchasing them and connecting them to your car find out what the rules are in your city and state. Warning: before doing any electrical work on a car, first disconnect the battery by removing the negative cable to the battery. Before you begin drilling, take time to look over your car to make sure that where you are going to drill the holes do not conflict with any major component or possibly damage important parts of the car.

Purchase a neon lights car kit. The Internet provides a wide variety of resources to match what you're looking for. Also automotive dealers can assist you in finding the right type of lights for your car. Consider where you are going to get power for your inner neon lights. The most reasonable choice is the battery.

Mount inner neon lights under the dash slightly above where the feet rest. You don't want them getting kicked so make sure they are high enough that the feet won't cause damage. Another part of the interior of the car for placement is under the front of the seat and towards the back. This shines the neon lights towards the rear of the car floor. Secure the lights according the directions from the lighting kit you purchased. When complete, it is time to set-up the toggle switch and establish an electrical circuit.

Set-up the toggle switch by joining each end of the power wires into each side of the toggle switch. Once complete you will be able to turn the lights on and off without affecting the primary power source. Place the toggle switch anywhere that is easiest for you to access. Next, connect to the battery by running a power wire that is "fuse protected" and run the wires through an existing hole in your car to reach the battery. Attach the negative wire (ground or earth wire) to a steel part of the chassis to complete the circuit.
