pretty simple.. 2 wires... one ground and the other to a 12 volt ignition wire. I'd also hookup an inline 10 amp fuse as well to the positive wire.

I just patched into my cig. lighter positive wire and grounded the black wire to a solid metal part on my car.

hope that helps.

Some cheap pepboys neons dont come with red/black coloring..
I have seen clear/clear &white stripe wires attached to a cig lighter adapter.

Cut off the adapter... and wire as normal:

clear is for ground
clear & white stripe is for 12 volt ignition
