Installing your Neon Kit

 

 When installing your Neon Kit you will probably need some or all of the following,  

  •      Screwdriver, or attachment for your drill.
  •       A drill with some small drill bits.
  •       Shrink wrap tubing and a heat gun.
  •       A pencil or other marker.
  •       A tape measure.
  •       Center punch.
  •       A hammer.
  •      Wire-strippers.
  •       Soldering gun and solder.
  •       Silicon sealant.

All of these will help you install your light kit.

 

  A light kit can make your car stand out at night. So can a fire if you have done something wrong. So if you are not handy with simple tools, can't follow directions or are at all concerned about safety, please have a professional do your installation.

 

  Each light kit should come with complete hardware and instructions. The following guidelines are general in nature and should be ignored if your kit instructions are different:

 

       You will have to jack up your car and it should be placed on jack stands and never held up only by the jack. This is the only way to be safe while installing your light kit.

 

  The battery must be disconnected before you install the light kit, but this can cause some problems on late model cars. Check your owner's manual first before you being the light kit.

        Any holes you drill on the car when installing your light kit should be plugged with a silicon sealant. One way is to put it on the screws before screwing them in. You don't want moisture entering the car because of your light kit installation.

 

       Many police departments are disturbed by visible light tubes. When you install the light kit the tubes should be mounted so that they cannot be seen from outside the vehicle.

 

      It's best not to wire your light kit system so that it goes on when your lights turn on. If you have to do it this way, have a kill switch handy to turn off the light kit. It's necessary if your system overheats or if the local police department does not like light kit systems.  If you have to cut any wires in you install the light kit, make sure when you connect them again, use solder for a good electrical connection. Also put a little silicon on the joint, and use heat shrink wrap tubing over the entire splice. This will keep your light kit working correctly for more years.
