Default Running lighting off the boot light

Could i run a 12v neon light strip off the boot light cabling so it only comes on when the boot is open?

The light strips are those that come ready to plug into the cigarette lighter socket


Cheers

yes you can, I ahve done this, just chop the wire at the light end, then wire it up to the neon light, boot opens, light on, boot closed light off.
