neons are great.

i did a bit of research on these myself, but never really came to a decision... given the price, and the lower heat they produce, they seem to be a far better alternative...

seeing as they run off the 12v rail of a PC power supply, you can just hook em directly up to your car power supply... i tapped in to the cigarette lighter when i had my neons installed (just normal car ones) and they worked very well...

im not sure about sound sensitivity, but im guessing they have some sort of microphone thing that changes the current with the sound it picks up...

But i know one would be the 12v source

Anybody know which wires to keep, if not ill just trial and error

Cold cathodes are dif to neons, alot lot brighter, and cheaper

So any body have cathodes, and any body know which wires to keep of the PC wires

I know my posts make 0 sence but for those that can understand thanks lol :P

      Timing issue, 1994 st204 celica

      I’ve got a 1994 st204 celica with a 5sfe motor, it runs perfectly for 15-20 until it warms up then it starts misfiring and stops. Then when the engine cools down it will start and run perfectly until it warms up again. I have replaced the igniter, internal distributor coil, distributor cap, rotor button, spark plugs, spark plug leads. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      Car Service and Car Tune Up?

      I think this is normal, auto choke engaged when starting and comes off after the engine warms up. Giving gas resets the choke. Herb

      Hilux Workmate 2x4 bulbar installation...

      I've got a few questions regarding the installation of a bull bar on my 2006 Toyota workmate Hilux 2x4. First off, the bulbar I am looking at will weigh around 30kg and I was wondering if would need to try and get some heavier duty shock absorbers and springs to compensate for the extra weight. Keep in mind that this little 2x4 gets a run for its money and is put mainly through the scrub, basic 4wd tracks, and corrugation. Secondly, The bull bar I have purchased is for a KUN 2005-2012 Hilux body shape, which from brief research will fit. A bit of confirmation would be lovely in terms of will it actually fit properly. Any help and or insight would be lovely.

      Check the spark plugs. Also consider cleaning the throttle body and idle air control [IAC] valve. Search YouTube for the relevant videos for your vehicle on how to do this.

      Brake issues with 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid

      Initially I thought ABS or Traction Control intervening as a result of loss of traction or grip but you said normal slow down so now I'm unsure. Perhaps a video would help us assist ? I have heard of some recall issues with the Corolla Cross & operational anomalies with the Toyota "SafeTSense" system in general, the later may be what you're experiencing & what Toyota would class as a "normal characteristic" of the car 😉

      Reversing Camera Screen with Bluetooth Android conectivity

      Hi I just bought a 2004 Toyota Avalon Grande 138k on the clock and with most of the genuine accessories i.e Spoiler and Satellite Navigation Stereo Head Unit, I want to keep the the Genuine Head Unit and was wanting to put either a separate reversing camera with dash cam and screen on the Dash Board somehow, or is there a Head Unit that fits that has all the modern connectivity features such as Reversing Camera Stereo, Bluetooth connectivity. Any suggestion or advice will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
