thanks, you can get the switch from any electronics store. it has three terminals on the back and when it's on there's a circular light on the switch that turns on. costs like $2 to $3 like at radio shack.

the switch is pretty quick and easy. you pull your fuse box cover off and from there you reach around and pop off the stock foglamp (?) switch, or rather, where it would have been if you had any. with that, you just match it up and either do it the right way and get a dremel, drill a hole, and use the dremel to widen until a rectangle of appropriate size until the switch fits in snugly, or you can do it the other way and use an xacto knife and cut the rectangle after many swipes, it'll come out into a rectangle (but probably wont fit as well). i did the first way. estimated time: about 15-20 minutes if you know what you're doing.

wiring took the longest time. the neon bars are either affixed by zip ties or velcro (i chose zip ties, velcro's adhesive tends to fall off after a while). total time it took was probably 1 hour and 10 mins with the drilling on the back neons. drilling's fine, just make sure the screw doesn't go in too quick or else you will have a broken neon light screw hole. (you'll see what i mean)
