Never installed one before... wiring shouldn't be too complex, because the interior wiring all comes through there. Just look up a wiring diagram before you do it, so you don't tap anything sensitive to added current. (Or even better run your own line from the battery with a switch on it)

Also, you may want to look at some of the stuff over at oznium.com or someone else who sells the components. If you buy the parts from a reputible dealer, they should either send instructions with the product or answer specific questions related to installs.

I put some lights under my seats. I wired them into the wires that go to the cigarette lighter, than put a switch in it so i can turn them on and off when I want to.

i would go with LED's. neon is sort of out of style. i actually just ordered some LEDs from oznium.com and they should be here in about a week. theyre blue. i was planning on wiring them into my dash lights that way i can control them with the dimmer switch. anyone have any thoughts on if that will work or how well it would work?

Yeah, its possible to put them on both sides, and i have to agree with Kyle, go with L.E.D.s they are easier to deal with. I used to have LEDs under my dash and behind my grille, and what i suggest to do is get a nifty lookin switch and mount it on the fuse panel cover under your dash by the brake and hood release... then find a 12v source, i went all the way to my battery through the fire wall... and as far as both sides, just hook them up togeather, + with + and - with -
