Neon Boot Light - Crazy, I Know

[rwdrolla]

i want a blue neon for a boot light.

 

how the hell do i wire an old tamper switch to the boot lid, and where do i wire it all up to?

 

please tell me i don't have to rip the entire carpet out to trace the door pin wiring....???

do i?

 

any ideas would be great

I have a fluro light in my boot, i just put a switch (in = off / out = on) in the top right hand corner of my boot (drilled a hole for it and put it in), so that when the boot is closed it cuts the circuit, you can run the earth from anywhere in the boot, just screw it to the body somewhere, apart from that i ran a live wire down the drivers side of the car and connected it to at 12v supply under the dash.

 

hope this info helps a bit, might post a picture for you tomorrow if you want?
