yip twood work grand.

Ur better wiring a relay off that wire tho, and powering off the neons off another power source in case u fizzle the wire / fuse. That way they will still only come on when you open the boot but not draw power from the light circuit.

But if its only 1 neon it shoudnt really be a problem.

neons use much less power than conventional bulbs, so it will be grand and no relay is needed. in fact you can run several neons instead off the standard boot light for the same power drain!
