xXx iKoN xXx Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 well see the wires are not designated + or - and somebody said if i just touch one wire to the pos and one to the neg on my battery they will light up but i am not sure if that is a way to do it.

ISO Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 You need to figure out if they have a built in transformer in each rod or if they have an external transformer. Its been years since I have messed with neon but I know things have changed with the use of LED's. Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

JEMT8 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Do either of the wires have a line going down it? Quote formerly known as Jaylor Swift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx iKoN xXx Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 no that is why im confused on the neg or pos of them Quote 1999 Honda Civic DX Coupe Head Unit: Panasonic CQ8100U (Temporary) Front: 6.5" Kenwood KFC-1662S Rear: 6"x9" Kenwood KFC-6989ie Sub: Undecided Amp: Undecided Big 3 Upgrade (4 gauge) Marine Battery routed to the trunk Stock Alternator for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 and what if it is or not If you don't know about transformers then it might not work. You need upwards of 90 volts to make a neon work.
