Disconnect all the wires they are just twisted together and covered with clear pipe and then covered with electrical tape pull apart take out from under car and no more NEONS.

For a F-body to use neons you have to put the 45 degree wheel well lights.

I'm sorry I am not a ricer but a F-body with quad corner neons and neon on the sides and front looks very nice. The car is definately made for it compared to a CRX or a MRS. Only when it has lights in the wheel well though.

So took them off today...by the way it just snowed overnight pulled my car into my NON heated garage...oh yah laying in the ice cold water from the snow melting lol very fun but worth it. I couldnt find/see where the wires ran to but got under the car and took all the bulbs out and cut the wires and tapped them off where I saw fit. I couldnt just pull the wires out either noooo the owner had to use zip ties and make it impossible to just pull the wire out....as for the teenage punk comment I just turned 20 2 weeks ago and had the car for 3 weeks..good thing I'm not a punk though . Yah it does look as though the car wasnt taken very good care of...just rolled over 76k, not bad for a '98 you might say, the engine has already been rebuilt (not the good built, just needed to be rebuilt top and bottom), also the rearend has been rebuilt too, the car is stock besides flowmaster exhaust as far as I know. But I've been cleaning her up nice and de-gaying her (neons) I'll save the battle of removing the rest of the wiring for a nicer day...

Is it really that hard to get scissors or a knife to cut the zip ties? You could have taken them off and got like $100 out of them or something. There is nothing wrong with neons. I got neons on my car. Well LEDs. If ya'll think they are just for ricers ya'll are dumbasses.
