An Overview on How to install Neon under car lights
Are you a bit confused about how to install Neon under car
lights on your vehicle? What about the wiring, do you know
colors are important when wiring up neon car lights? Well if not
we'll show you how to install the under car lights onto your
vehicle in the fastest and most easiest way.
First of all,
before doing *any* electrical work on your vehicle, always
disconnect the battery before starting. Do this by disconnecting
the negative battery cable. Performing projects on cars,
like installing Neon under car lights, involves drilling holes
into the body of a vehicle, its very important to first check
the locations where you're going to mount the under car
lights, to be certain you won't pierce or damage any crucial
parts such as brake lines, fuel lines and electrical lines, etc.
While the vehicle is raised up on a lift or jack determine
the best location for the neon tubes. Make sure they are away
from all fuel lines, exhaust systems, areas of extreme heat,
moving parts, and areas where a lift jack is used to raise the
vehicle. The easiest way to mount the under car neon
lights is to start the screws in the brackets
first,(supplied in the kit) then holding the bracket in place,
insert and tighten the screws into the holes. Make sure that the
wires coming from the *side* neon tubes are facing the front of
the vehicle. It's best to tighten the screws just enough to hold
the bracket in place, then go back after once you almost
finished and individually tighten each one until it seats
firmly. Next you'll need to locate a spot to mount the
neon light kit transformer. The preferred location will
be somewhere near the battery in the engine compartment and
you'll need to drill mounting holes for attaching the
transformer. The power wire on the transformer can be
connected directly to the Positive side of the car battery or to
any 12V power wire under the dashboard. There will also be an
"Earth wire" or Negative ground wire for the neon under car lights that will need to be
securely screwed to the chassis of the vehicle, or to any "Earth
wire" to complete the power circuit. The on-off switch
should be mounted in a convenient location on the dash and
within your reach. Wiring for the switch can be run through a
grommet in the firewall, into the engine compartment where it
can be connected to the battery. The switch and fuse, that will
be included in your neon under car lights kit, should be
connected between the transformer and the power supply. All
you need to do now is to plug all the neon tubes into the
transformer and complete any additional wiring according to your
kit instructions and then you'll be all set to show em off!
