inverter is MOST DEFINITELY needed.
The inverter changes the ~12Vdc power in your PC/car to ~405Vac to run the CCFL.

yellow goes to positive, black goes to ground (the 16awg wire out of the inverter).
hte little black box is the inverter.
works fine.
white ones to replace boot interiror lights work awesome

They're nice and cheap too, typically cheaper than your "automotive" neon lights...
