Just run power and ground straight to the battery. To wire your switch you will have to go through the firewall though.
It will help to get aftermarket battery terminal mounts to start wiring up all this new aftermarket electronics you are putting in the car. It will be much more efficient, easier and cleaner if you do.

Nope, the power will come from the battery, the switch inside will turn it on and off. You don't want the neons on all the time.

Re: neon (92TripleBlack)
:iagree: If you absolutely have to make this "mod" then make sure the power lead is FUSED.
I don't know why everyone seems to forget this most important point for any additional electrical mod that is done. Not like you can ASSUME that most will do this...........make sure its fused

Re: neon (pdd000)
If you have a C5, wire the hot wire to circuit #6 and you can control the neons with your factory foglight switch. That is how I have mine. Ground to any place on the chassis.

Re: neon (PepperdineZ06)
Very nice! Like the idea of the neons behind the gills.. I may do this.. Top down lights on.. Sounds wicked..
On a blue car you are safe with white or blue lights.. and use a switch cause police seem to freak if you ride around with neon on..

Re: neon (Still_Single)
Yah, in most states red and blue are the big no no colors...
In illinois, all neon's are illegal....I was pulled over in my old explorer and they said that the purple lights were reserved for an ambulance??? He didn't give me a ticket when i called him on it though (he still could have of course because they all are illegal).
So, in your guy's opinions....would white or blue look better in the grill???
