Installing Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lighting, wiring question

[dcskater13243]

I recently ordered Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lighting tubes, (2 12" blue) I also orderd an additional transformer box, and an oem on/off switch. I will be installing the cathodes under both footwells. My question is, how the hell do i wire this? If i had to guess, I would say from the cathodes, to the switch, to the fuse box. But im really not trying to fry my wiring. So if anyone could give me any advice, id be greatly appreciative. Ill add the links for the stuff i bought, so you know what im workin with.

FlowLighting Cold Cathode Kits

Scion OEM Style Rocker Switch

Dual Cathode Transformer



Sooooooooo heres an edit:



After doing a little research on the oznium website, I found a guide for installation. Guess I should have looked before asking.

Cathode Installation & General Install Terms

Any tips though?

p.s i love my scion hahah

I have the exact same setup in my car, I didn't do the wiring myself my friend did but he spliced into the back of the cigarette lighter since it shuts on and off with the car that way there was no messing around with the fuse box if you have more questions feel free to ask

i have no problems running it directly to a power source, i.e fuse box, cigarette lighter etc, my main concern is the wiring to the on/off switch. do i run a line from the fuse box to the switch, then the switch to the cathode? or what? totally lost on that aspect...and if you have the same setup, how does it look? nice?

I haven't done wiring in a long time, but if I can recall correctly...

You'll run the power wire from XXX source (fuse, cig lighter, etc.) to one prong on the switch. With the other prong you'll run that to the positive wire on the transformer (this is gonna supply power when you flip the switch). Then ground the ground wires on the transformer to either an existing screw on the body, or tap another ground point with a self tapping screw. Add an inline fuse for protection. Hook up the cathodes to the transformer and you should be set.

Yea it does look nice, I believe I posted some pics on here awhile back, if you can't find them I will be more than happy to repost them

So after about 45 minutes or so of wiring, clean up, etc, i have the cathodes installed. Holy crap am i please with the results. for 30 bucks, there is no way these lights could have been any better. theyre bright as balls, they work perfectly off the switch. all around a good buy. the only thing i didnt like was the fact that i purchased an additional transformer from oznium, and it wasnt in the box. gonna have to call them. thanks to you everyone who helped me out, i appreciate it
