You will have i think 3 open posts on in your fusebox, one will have power all the time, maybe 2 i forget, and one of them will be on when the key is in the 1 position. I used the one where power was on only when the key was in the 1 position just in case i left it on, it wouldn't be on all day or night, although i'm pretty sure it would be pretty easy to see if it was on at night. But yeah any more questions just ask

I haven't put any neons in my new 02 Accord, but I had them in my '88 accord, And I've found that the neon tubes make a much more bright, rich color than the rope does. But it is harder to hide the tubes. Another thing that affects how much light they give out is the color of the inside. I find that a darker interior makes the color look brighter. Also, you can buy them all with cigarette outlet plugs, but they can be easily hardwired with a switch, just make sure that you fuse all the extra wires.(Due to safety issues). As for brands, you can go expensive with street glow, or you can go cheaper through stores like Walmart, Kmart, and Autozone. They all work about the same, but it seems that if you are going to set them to the music, then go with the street glow, because the cheaper ones don't last as long to the music. They will just stop reading the music, and stay steady beams of light. Hope this helps.

i bought a blue 8" dual tube neon kit on ebay for cheap. it has sound activation so i can make it beat with music or keep it on. i mounted it under my dash but instead of screwing it in i used duck brand permanent mounting tape but it keeps falling even after i cleaned the surface with lysol wipes and dried it. it looks really cool and was easy to do besides having the tubes fall all the time. only problem i have with my kit is that the wires between the neon tubes and the sound module are only 2.5 ft long so the only place i could mount the sound module was on bottom of my center console right by my feet so on a high sensitivity setting road noise sets it off. at the moment its still plugged into the cigarette lighter in the center console but im thinkin about hardwiring it.
i feel really tempted to get that led kit that you found or the 7 color led kit and put my neons somewhere else.
i just realized i really do ramble on about absolutely nuttin. please shoot me (or since this is a car forum, run me over)
