    How do you connect neons,strobes....to switch

    I was wondering what is the correct way to connect strobes, interior neons, underbody neons to a 12v switch. The switches I got have three prongs. 1 earth ground, 1 supply volt, 1 AC on. Im entering into a car show and i would like to hook all myneons to switches. If anybody has any other ideas please share...thanks...~1~

    THIS IS EASY....your ground goes to your ground, the supply goes to the wire that is hot (this means the wire that supply's the power), and the AC stands for accessory(this is what you hook your neons and strobes power wire too)

    this is what I did with my center console if you have any questions please PM me

    THIS TOOK ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO BUILD AND ONE YEAR TO PERFECT, I AM THINKING OF MAKING THE CONSOLE OUT OF FIBERGLASS NEXT TIME TO GIVE IT A SMOOTHER TEXTURE.....THIS IS FOR COROLLA'S 03- AND UP......THERE IS NO SPLICING WIRES OR CUTTING WIRES.....THIS CAN IN NO WAY VOID YOUR FACTORY WARRANTY :D :D :D TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

    yes that is right, but with a 12v power source, you have to make sure you have the ground to ground and power to power (it does matter which wire is which).
