Default Need help! Installing neon in side vent area :)

Please help me to install a neon light (blue or white) inside the side vent area. Few weeks ago I saw a thread with pictures of it installed but couldn;t find a write up regarding the installation. It might be "RICE" but looked cool, IMO. Also, if I were to splice/connect it with fog light, where will be the best to place to splice/connect? Where can I find the wires that controls the fog lights? I don't know much about C5 wiring so please help me how I can accomplish this mod.

Thank you in advance,

Sin

Looks like forum needs an "Uncle Bens" section for these threads.
