i ran mine to the underhood fuse actually, where the battery terminal connects to the underhood fuse there is a screw that hold it on. I attached some loophole type connector to my wire then put it under the screw that holds the battery on. My switch is in the small change holder on the left of the steering wheel. And yeah, you should solder to the switch, or you can by a switch with wires already attached.
I'm planning on doing this eventually.
I've heard that the passenger side can be tricky with a longer tube due to the available room. Someone I know had their tube actually crack. He's replacing it with 2 smaller tubes so as to avoid the "tight spot"

damn that switch looks clean. How long did that take you to do? what about the whole thing?
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)
