wiring an interior neon to a toggle switch

[DoctorD415 10+ year member]

If i were to wire two interior neon lights to a toggle switch, how would i do this? I know that i would have to cut off the cigarette adapter, which would leave me with a positve and negative wire on each neon light. I would connect the positives of each light to the toggle switch and the negatives to a ground on the car, correct? Then i know that the toggle switch would have to have a power wire going to the battery and a negative going to a ground....

But, can i wire two seperate lights into one switch?

Also how many prongs are there on a toggle switch, when i was looking around i was kind of confused. Are there three prongs, one for the lead to the 12v, one for the positives from the neon lights and one for the negative for the toggles ground?

Also would i want to wire in an inline fuse from the toggle switch to the battery and if so how big a fuse should there be?

Any type of help would be great, thanks.

Well I can tell you how I wired up some of my interior neons. I have four toggle switches that are used for neons. But i use the power from the cig lighter to light up everything. I had a wire from the cig lighter which was the power wire, I had that go to the in (or pos) on the toggle switch. (Mine only have two prongs anyways). I just grounded all the wires to one spot. I do have about three neons going to each toggle switch. Like the ones I have in the front of the car, go to one switch, then the ones in the back seats and what not, to another one. But yeah you should be able to just run a main wire to one of ur switches pos, then run another wire from that pos to another toggle switch pos, and keep doing that. Hopefully this helped if not pm me and i can talk to you more.
