Default Cathode tube

Would tubes like these work in my tC? If so, how would you hook them up?
Thanks for the help. http://www.xoxide.com/bluecathode.html

Yes, they will work. I'm not familiar with the tC, so I can't tell you how to hook em up.

The transformers I got with mine had red (power) and black (ground) wires coming off of it. Run the ground wire to one side of a switch and the other side of the switch to ground on the chassis of the tC. Then wire the power wire to a power source in the vehicle (cig. lighter, ign. harness, at the radio). If you are wiring them to come on with a door trigger than you wire them up diff.

Hey are their switches that let the power go through and also give you the choice to turn it on or off. Like a dome light switch? That way you can wire it from the dome light to the switch then to the cathode. Is this possible.
