Interior Neons. Seeking HowTo :\

[Dulle]

Hye guys. I've just gone out and bought myself some cold cathodes, just for trying this thing on. If it turns out cool, I'll do some neons in the future. Theyr more rigid than the cold cathodes I've got now, wich are intended for computer use..

Anyway..I got home, proud of my new stuf, then I sat down and started thinking about this..In my head it seems really hard, as I'm not too good with these electronic things.
Anyway..I was just looking for a quick How-To.
I want to have two neons under the dashboard, the usual placement, and I want to control them with a separate switch for each tube..
I am also interested in what brand of neons you guys use.
And, finally, where you ground the tubes. Well..those are all things that should be covered in a good HowTo, so just get writing

(P.S. I tried doing a search, but none of them answered all my questions, and as I think I'm not the only one wondering about this, a nice lil' write up is a good idea )

I just finished doing this the other day i'll post some pics of it later tonight or tomorrow.

you dont want neon, you want cathodes.
peep the link, good info
Your welcome in advance

Oh I almost forgot, some folk (including me) tend not to like the in-cabin fuse power source (not that I have these installed anyways)
its more safe to run a line from the battery w/a fuse in the line

BTW did you really have trouble finding info in the search?

Double posted. Can an op delete this right here?

Like I said, I got cathodes..
And running a wire from the battery, is exactly what I was planning to do.

And yes, I searched, looked through like 15 threads..but couldnt fint answers to some of the things I was wondering, so then I thought I'd make a new one.
And in addition, I cant be the only one wanting to do this, so a little HowTo would be golden

Liquify : You do that

Thanks for the help!

I dont really want to do that fusebox thing..doesnt seem right..
But now I do at least feel a little more confident. I hope to try to make this thing work on Monday or Tuesday. Will take pics.
Maybe I can do a little write-up myself :P
