Turn the switch on after the interior warms up or wait until Spring.

I was looking at CC's too. Their a hell of a lot cheaper than neons from autozone. But I've read that the red ones arn't a true red. Is this true?

Ok, I'll get them sometime too. Their a lot cheaper than neons thats for sure. One other question. With the transformer do you need one transformer for each CC? or can you plug as many as say four up at a time?

1 Transformer= 2 CC's.......4 CC's=2 Transformers

I get my cold cathodes from ebay. Search using "CCFL" and or "Cold Cathode".
Generally, you can plug two lamps into one inverter if the lamps are close to each other. You can not lengthen the wires. I tried and the lights were a lot dimmer.

hmm..w.ell is there enough wire to have the transformer under the H/U mount and have the CC branch off under each seat?

The lamps have about ten inches of wire. You can have them twenty inches apart. Should be enough.
You could buy two single lamps, then you would have two inverters. Or you could put two tubes on each side. You can get two kits on ebay for under $16 shipped.
I bought a bunch of kits and made under bodies out of them.
