Bought a neon glow wire on saturday and went to wire it up cuz all it need was a positive and neagtive, easy enough i thought. So once i had it all wired up to the battery and then through a switch the wire started to fry and then set on fire!! Was able to get the fire out in my engine bay but lucky for me nothin was damaged. Yesterday tried to hook it up up and the it didnt smoke or go on fire but the wires were dam hot!!

Anyone know what sort of wires to use or where i could get another positive and neagtive from?

cheers

best nip down your local halfords and get some power wire... should'nt need anything to beefy but the thicker the better...

best thing would be to ask someone there what they would recommend, then if it goes tit's up you can give them loads of shit and get your money back...
