Running underglow off sparkplug

[spudkilla224]

Hey everyone I'm thinking about getting blue underglow for my gokart and I was wondering if a 12 volt dc underglow kit could be ran off a sparkplug wire? And if it would work off the sparkplug how would I make it not suge and get brighter when the rpm's increase?

No, the coils on these engines produce WAY to much current for a 12v LED.

Nope. You'll have to install a battery (at the very least) and charge it periodically, or you could source a charging system for your engine and install a battery.

you may be able to run a charging coil, capacitor and some resistors to keep the flow even. if you really want to do it, this rig may be worth looking into

Spark plug wire=~20K volts.
