Chris, although running a new line is the best and safest way, but tapping into the cig lighter is another way that can work also.
The cig lighter is a good circuit to add stuff to. Because 1) it doesn't and can't interfere with any other part of the car, and 2) it turns cold when the key is in the OFF position. I believe the original fuse is either 7.5 or 10 amps, should be ok to add your neons. If you blow the fuse, double check your wiring, ie undo and redo it throoughly, and if everything is correct, replace with the next amperage up. It is important not to exceed 25 amp fuses because if there is a grounding/shorting happening, the fuse might be strong enough to hold the current and cause a fire. The important thing is, if there is a short, you want that fuse to blow. I know as a fact that a 35amp fuse won't blow at the amperage needed to melt wires and start a fire, in the case of a short. Just always be safe and use a hot wire tester on every wire you use. And the single most important thing, please post pics of your work! lol

Looks good to me. Wonder how long it will last tho. Not a bad price to experiment with.
