i want to put a pair of DC blue neon lights under the footwells of my car, but i want them to be activated by the head lights.

how could i wire them up so when i turn on my head lights my lights in the footwell come on?

thanks

id use the parking light wire to trigger a relay to provide power to your neons.

aright i think i changed my mind, this is what i want to do,

i want the lights under the foot well but i want them to be triggered by a toggle switch, where should i get the power for the lights?

how would you go about this?

Run a power line to the battery. Presto! 12v+ power.

and then just ground it somewhere on the car or in another wire or what?

would i be better off to get like a fuse block and put one switch on the fuse block and run all my lights off the block?

yes, just ground it to some bolt in the car.

that's exactly what i did in my own car:

there should be a bolt somewhere under the dash where things are grounded too. just use that. run one side of the switch to the ground and the other side to the lights.

very nice job, are thouse LED's or are they neons, how exactly did you wire all that with a simple explanation, did you wire it to a fuse block with one switch or did you use a relay or what?
