Thats a really good pic thats wat helped me out when i was wiring mine up! it only took about ten minutes you just have to be careful not to break the strips since they are very delicate. i would advise you to invest in these as they are well worth the money mate! :)

Since those ones are from ebuyer you can answer my question.Once its all wired up and a neon stops working,can it be unplugged and another put in place or do you have to replace it and all wiring aswell ?
Is there a plug on the end of the neon or does the cable just come out of it ?

you can use the same connections as before you just put the new neon clip into the old neon invertor

but the invertor will be hidden under the dash won't it ? ?
Im wondering if everything can be left as it is and just unplug one neon and put the new one in place.Not feeding new wires thru.

and if one does breaks just plug the new neon strip into the old inverter if you place the inverter at a place where you have easy access you will be fine but as alan says once they are connected correctly you will have no probs with them or a long time! :)

yeah the invertor will be hidden under the dash but this happened to me, i had to buy a new set of neons when one broke under the passenger side. it was very difficult connecting it up to the invertor under the dash but i managed to do it in the end

woooooo is my pic. lol.

yep if a neon breaks by being smashed or whateva, then it can simply be replaced by disconnecting the old one, and plugging the new one in its place in the inverter. easy peasy. my inverter is under the plastic centre console by the gearstick, can easily plug a new one in if one smashes.

yeah i think its a good place to put it, originally i was going to put it next to the cigarette lighter (coin holders) but then there was the wire loom for heated seats behind the coin holders so had to have a think about it
