I don't know anything about neons, but if it's like an amp, just put the switch on the remote on/off cable...if it has one. Otherwise I suppose the switch would just go on the positive power cable.

you cant run neons off a remote wire with a relay.

you would just hook the power cable up to a power sorce in your car and ground it anywhere. have the switch on the power wire

Yes, with a relay - you most certainly can run your neon off your remote wire if it's relayed. :-) Mat, why would you say you couldnt do this??

wire the neons threw a relay and fuse it.its safer then a damn switch is. u have to be care full with this stuff b/c u could potentionaly cause a fire.
in return insurance will not cover it, if it is installed incorrectly

Here is a pretty detailed write up I did for my under dash cold cathodes. The process is basically the same for neons as far as the wiring for the switch and such. I ran a seperate fused power wire for mine just to be on the safe side but plenty of people tap into factory power wires. I took a couple of other steps you could probably leave out as well but this was the most complete and safest method in my opnion.
