Hi everybody.
I got this idea for my teg. I know I ve seen it somewhere.
Anyway, here is the deal. I wanna buy one of those neon glow stick that plug into our lighter, and put it into my bumber so that my grill would glow during the night. Now my question is how can I connect the wires so that whenever I turn on my headlights, my grill would glow as well. Plz be specific. Thanx. I think this will look amazing.
just get those tap things (from radio shack, home depot, some auto store) and splice them in the headlight wires. just find out which wires to splice into. not sure how many volts does those things use but maybe you’ll need a fuse or a relay for it.
If you get one that plugs in to your lighter you’re gonna have a pretty big job wiring it. Just get a Street-Glo light that you can hook to your battery. It will probably include everything you need, along with instructions. Even if it’s for a different part of the car, you can follow the wiring instructions and just mount it behind your grill.
if it goes to the lighter is probably 12volt (make surea bout that). if so then ya you can just cut it and wire it to the battery and ground it anywhere. be sure to run a fuse inline (like an infline fuse holder for amps) just in case.
oh wait you want it to turn on with headlights. well you can add a relay to the above from the headlight. or you can run the power to the headlight fuse in the fusebox by your leg
i just got done doing that to my teg i put a 15" in my bumper and 10"'s under my dash and one 9" in my trunk that goes with my bass looks fookin good all on at the same time
The proper way to hook those up with your headlights is by using a relay, just like when you connect aftermarket foglights. If you don’t want to get busted though, I would hard-wire them, and put a toggle switch somewhere in the car. That way, when a cop is looking right at your ride at night, you have a way of turning them off.
