The easiest way would be to tap into thetrunk light feed wire with a relay.

Or you could use a seperate pin switch. like you would for an alarm or for your ars dome and trunk lights.

Just one problem I have with neon lights. If you have a high power system and you havn't upgraded your alt or battery you are draning important power! Not saying that neons are not cool, b/c I love the look of cars with neons, very good cool factor but to me, they are nothing but a waste of power which could be going to your system. That is just my opinion. I say if you have upgraded or don't have a lot of power put as many neons in there as you can, the more the better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you're standard Bosche or Potter & Braumfield relay would work, the ones with terminals: 86, 85, 30, 87a, and 87they are really easy to wire, check www.bcae1.com for instrucions and more info
