Do undercar neons run in AC?
Would the alternator give electrical interferance to thier power leads?
And would putting noise supressors onto the wires stop them from flickering when the engine is turned on?
Where can I get one individual new bulb for them from?

Help Please!

No no no no no! Though pink would be right up my street. They are blue, and for the record I did not pay for them. They were a gift for wiring my friends car up correctly to prevent it from bursting into flames when he drove it.

Get some kitchen strip lights from B&Q (might be near the shower rails) and colour them in with crayons for that "neon glow".

Crayon's would not provide the correct opacity so they wouldn't glow, but thanks for the help.

Ok, fuck the kitchen bulb, it's no use until I sort the flickering out... Has anyone else had this problem? My lights are turing on and off when I rev the engine a little and when its running at a fast idle e.t.c... Would that be interfearance, or have I chosen a crap earth point? I attatched the earth to the piece of metal beneath where the engine bay wiring loom grommit is...

attach the earth to a different point, if that fails then get a supressor and see if that helps Or try the neons on another car to see if there fooked or something
