Neon Location Help

[Youngblood77]

Could anyone post a few pics for me showing where you attached your neons/ cold cathodes under your dash? I got looking under there tonight, and I'm wondering where I can attach them where they won't get kicked, and more importantly, can't be seen. I really wanna see just the light they're emitting, but not the lamp itself.

Thanks in advance guys B)

ummm I dont have pictures, but the drivers side, just put it right um under there, you cant really see it because of the steerign wheel stuff, the pass. I dunno, you can see mine, but they wont get kicked unless someone intentionally does it

[sound_xtreme]

just drill some holes in the black plastic and use zip ties. you shouldnt be able to see the bulbs.

it depends on how big they are and how thick......the drivers side one you basically dont got a choice just do what everyones saying, you cant see it unless you get ur head down there......the passenger side i found a really good spot......right under where the glove compartment theres a flat spot and if ur cathodes arent so round it fits like a glove......

i've pushed them back farther since, but here are the oznium "blue" cathodes i have


these were mounted up a bit, now i have them pushed back as far as possible, they still give off a great amount of light

some more

Damn, those are some bright motherf#%$ers

[brim]

brim......... did u get the dual cathode transformer or what???

its kinda confusing on the page what the cathodes come with.

[ptrudel]

brim, those are bright as hell, i still havent found a place that really gives out good lighting...

as said yes, with the CC's you get the transformer along with it

as far as lengthwise, if i wanted to i could maybe move em a couple inchese further apart

if i can ever find teh digital cam i'll take some pics of where i have everything placed as well as the light output now

here is mine

sorry dident atach

and the front the colors are off a bit my dc sucks that i took these pics with

sorry to thread-jack (still a related matter). How has everyone wired their neons/cathodes?

[ptrudel]

i wired them from a swith and cut into the power wire of the cig lighter

[brim]

new pics up in just a sec

[brim]

used to have em out farther like i said, used the velcro, the velcro works great for a little while, but once the heat comes it loses its grip

you could always twist tie as well

[brim]

and here's a shot of the passenger side

[brim]

lastly with em on

couldn't get any great shots, the camera still doesn't take well to any movement, and i'm tripodless still
