Trunk Light Help Please!

[cheeba]

Hey guys,

I just got a neon tube for my trunk and I plan to tap into the existing trunk light for power and ground. Is this a bad idea? I am assuming that if I tap into that line, my neon will turn on when the trunk is open and off when it is closed. Am I correct?

Also, does anyone know where the switch is for the trunk light and how it looks?

Thanks.

i hook up my strobe light to the trunk light

should work, might be too much for the fuse to handle if you've got other things on that are on the came fuse

While on the topic of neon...I was wondering...Is there any differance in brands? Like is there anything that makes street glow superior to other brands? Or is it just a name.

Hey ive done a similar project, i have 2 neon rings around my subs that light when i open the trunk
real easy to do, just have a inline fuse, pm if you need any help

ive done it... its sloppy, but it works... dont go nuts with hooking other things up to it though

thanks for the responses guys. now can someone tell me what the trunk switch for the light looks like and where it is located? i think mine may be faulty as my trunk light sometimes doesn't shut off when i shut the trunk.

Humm, sorry I can't rember what that switch looks like, off the top of my head, but if you need a replacement I am parting out my gen 3 Camry.

Use a relay....

The trunk switch is right at the bottom, where it locks.

i have 4 neons on my trunk- running off of some interior ones and my underbodies... the pics are blurry, but here are some ideas... my trunk was full o' crap... consists or 2 10" neons, 1-15" and a 24"...




and here are some switches for underbodies/trunk/interiors

what brand neons are those? do you guys find that some neons (say blue for instance) are bluer than others? some people's blue neons look more white than blue. what gives?

[Hamsterman]

ehhhh 6 of one= half doz the other... i just use cheap neons i find on ebay- some are better than others, btu i have never purchased from streetglow, lightglow/whatever etc. I just dont' feel like paying $25 for a light ican get for like 10-15 on ebay...
