    earth wire needed to 2nd terminal on neons to create a circuit. Nearly ALL bikes (and cars) now days are a negative earth

    If you've already done that then check the fuse and wiring for continuity..other than that try a direct wire to the neons and then straight to earth to make sure they work OK. We bought a set and they didnt work from the supplier

    i have put neons on my all around, 2 under the grill, 2 under the bike and 1 in the mud guard. you need to put red and black to your battery terminals then they should like up. if i was you buy a switch off ebay, like £3 and basicly between the neon transformer box and the battery cut the wire and wire it to the switch. works a dream :)
