Thanks for the info, i suppose i will just have to explore the car myself and see how to do most things, when u say use power from the car cd player, since it has a plug on there how is it possible to wire up the neon cord to it unless u cut the plug off.

well the easy way to do it would be to cut the wire a little bit behind the plug i dunno maybe 2-6 inches back from the plug so you have some wire to work with, but then just cut the power wire then strip the ends and then take the wire for the switch, twist them all together and put a wire cap on them and you are done.

hot means it has power going though it (postive line)

cold means it's a ground line (negative line)

Make sure to disconnect the negative battery cable before doing any work. You don't want to end up with blown fuses (not that it's a big deal, but another pain).
