If you want your car to look a whole lot cooler, you may want to install some really neat neon car lights. While most people usually have theirs installed at their local car shop with a little guidance, you may probably be able to accomplish this on your own. Before you start, there are of course some things which you will need to get first.
The Tools of the Trade
Some Precautions and Important Reminders
Before you do any work on your vehicle that involves electricity, remember to always disconnect its battery. This is necessary for you to eliminate any electrical spark action and also to avoid disrupting the electronic system of your car. Do this by disconnecting the negative battery cable of your vehicle. Additionally, it is also very wise for you to have your service manual near you should you need to get into the specifics of how the electrical system of your vehicle works. Additionally, you also need to check the different locations of your vehicle where you plan to mount the hardware you will attach through holes so you will be sure not to pierce or even damage the crucial parts like the fuel, brake and electrical lines. Getting In The Action
Get The Neon In
The neon tubes of light are then mounted on your car's chassis by using the plastic brackets and the small metals that are also included as part of your kit. Using the brackets that are first installed on the tube, try to lift the tube assembly to get it into place and then mark all the places (using the marker or pencil) where you intend to drill the holes. After doing so, you will then have to center punch each location to ensure that you have a good area for when you start to use your drill. Slowly and carefully use the drill to make holes which you will use in order to mount the brackets. Like any project that requires the drilling of holes, you will need to apply a tiny amount of the silicon sealer before you screw it in to help protect its metal parts from rusting.
