Neon under dash lights

Heres a picture of my new lights fitted under the dash, they are flexible Orange neon tubes.

I wanted to get something that matched the lights from the dials and these match perfectly.

Before anyone says, I don't intend to go any further with Neon lights, they're far too 'rice' for me Just wanted some subtle extra lighting for the interior

The neon washer jets are coming off this week too

Where did you get those from?? They look fantastic!! Really really good!

How are they wired in?? Are they hardwired to the instrument lighting or something, that would be the best imo.

I got them from a trader at Southern Mini Days.

They have a power transformer which drops the voltage down from 12v to something small like 1v, I have them on a switch with a live feed coming direct from the battery.

I didn't want them to come on all the time which is why I used a switch but you could use the live from the sidelights.

the MINI has gone...
