Hey guys hope u can help me

1st queary) So i bought one of them cheapo headlight reminder thingie coz i'm a sucker for not turning em off. Anywayz u gotta hook one wire up to the ignition fuse and another to the parker lights fuse.(so that when one is inactive and the second is active is goes off) Wtf are these fuses? Or is there any other way to hook em up?

2ndly) I'm putting a neon in the boot to go with me sub and shit, i dont want it to flash with the sub, jsut turn on when i open the boot. The switch aint a prob, what i was wondering is can i hook the power for the neon directly to the power for my amp i.e. connect it straight to the terminals on the AMP with a switch or will it like draw too much current or sum shit. Any info = awesome

thnx heaps, soz it took so long to exlplain

If it's wired in parallel the amp or neon wont know the difference, wont harm either of them. As long as the power wires to your amp are big enough. But what you should do is put a good quality splitter block in the power wire before it reaches the amp and then have a wire going to the amp and a seperate one going to the neon. Much cleaner than just having the neon wire tacked onto the amp terminal.

If he runs a neon off his remote cable he will damage the head unit, it's only a low current circuit for turning the amp/electric arial on and nothing else.
