man i just got done doing this with my friend. alright u can splice the 12v adapter np does no harm but be prepared for some thin wire to tie into. but tie one of the wires into an acc. fuse make sure on postive side then tie the 2 neons together so do + - plus + - like that then have your wire spliced into the wire going into the switch so you will have your load , power and ground if you are using a 3 way switch some require 2 grounds mine did but depends what kind of switch you are also using well hope that helps you out man
