If you use LEDs than you can pretty much add as many as you want to the circuit.

going to be running neons so a relay is needed, do they fire at a certain voltage or through current draw?

A standard 5-pin 30 amp relay is what you need but they can be kind of confusing.
You'll need a wire ran off the domelight, a THICK constant and a ground all going to the same location so you can wire up your relay.

The door pin switch would be a great place to start.

question

Quote (Hermione @ Oct 23 2013 12:17am)
is it possible to run a relay PARALLEL to the wire since it isnt live all the time. or would i have to splice it?

the problem is the original wire ill be using is load bearing as well. so im not sure if the coil can carry the current

which one would i do,
