So I've got a couple of red neons for interior floor lighting...problem is that they require the cig lighter for power. However it's in use by my ipod transmitter.

Just wondering if anyone know how to wire the neons up to the battery with (or without) a fuse?

Thanks

Don't go to the battery. Get a little button for on off and just tap off the power of something under your dash or even the feed to the Cig. lighter.

I also have the ability to use a capacitor under my passenger seat...

How would I determine what wires would be appropriate for this tap? And how would I go abut doing so?

easiest is to find the wire going to the cig. lighter cut it and splice into it. if not you'd need to trace out another power wire for anything and make sure its only 12V. Only connect the positive because the neg. can just get grounded onto the car (a little connector on the end from radioshack and screw it onto the body somewhere)

just use the power to the back of the head unit, thats what i did, i have a tv, dvd player, head unit, fm transmitter, and the neons all on the head units feed, never blew the 10 amp fuse yet

Same as above. Find an existing power source, such as the power wire for the stereo, and splice into it. Then ground the negative wire to the body.

I spliced my under seat leds into the overhead lamp dimmer wiring in the a-pillar. My under seat lights come on whenever the door is open or I hit the key fob, but they won't come on with just the dome light switched to on. I just wanted supplemental lighting because it was so hard to see in the car at night when putting stuff in and out, especially on the floor.

Would the wiring for the little light that shines into the ashtray work for something like that?
