Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior neon blink question

Sup all,

I'm about to install an underbody neon kit, but I was wondering if there was a way I can hook the system up to a switch and also to the unlock/lock lights.

For instance, when I hit unlock on my remote, the neon lights will blink twice, and when I lock, it will blink once. ANDDDDD there is a switch where if I toggle, the lights will stay on... I tried thinking about it, but I'm too confused... any help would be nice! Thanks!

hmm iono about that. but i think if you hook it to your alarm i'tll blink once each time you lock it and unlock it

of course you can.
you just connect relay, alarm system, and neons.

I know it's possible, but is there any manual? The main problem I'm having is that even if I manage to hook it up to the alarm relay, I still want a toggle switch... that's where I'm stuck..

ok..if i were you i would connect the power and ground wires to the parking light..i currenty have 2 neons hook on to them(parking light or sidemarker) and they work fine..now if you want to put a switch on then the neon power (12V/Red/Positive) wire just cut and put a switch on that and mount it.. ex..

[sidemarker]----12v----(switch)------/transformer/----<neon>
[sidemarker]----Ground---------------/ /----<neon>

ya see how that work??? this is only one Sidemarker...and you only need one side anyway..u have to splice the sidemarker wires to do this..now this way just turn it on when you want and it'll blink when you have it on the "ON" position whenever you lock/unlock...but the neon won't be on after you lock/unlock the neon because no pwer is supplies to it, until you turn on ur parking light then the power will be drawn to the neon to give it power..understand?? if not then oh well..hope you get it figure out..i can do it but can't explain it..

you will need a diode (cheap, get them at radio shack), buts its very easy
