Ok, you'll need a ground (86), a 12v fused source (30), switched source (85 - to control the relay), then pin 87 will go to the neons. If you wanted to be able to turn them off completely, put a single throw switch in the swiched source side.

You may need to either use diodes or do a double relay setup.

I'm not sure how much power neons draw, but I don't think you'd want them drawing power straight from your dome light circuit... There's already a bunch of other stuff on there, and you might blow the fuse...
