How do i put LED strips in this location?



Is there a wire that i can tap the +/- of the wire?
I'm thinking of putting a LED strips and tap it to the dome light.


Regards,
Chris

I just realized that the glove box light never turns off, it's always on when the headlights are on. I figured there would be a switch on the glove box door or something??

Yeah, as usual.....they E-mailed me that about a week or two after I dropped about $140.00 with them.
That seems to happen to me every time I buy something from them!

Sounds like you're a loyal customer, you should shoot them an email and ask them to see about giving you a refund or even credit.

That's correct, glove box is always on with the lights. If you want to wire up any interior LEDs to come on with the lights but NOT dim with the dimmer ****, tapping into the glove box light works well.

I rewired my corner lights to work as turn signals for awhile. Currently I've got them back as side markers though.

Would you think a 8" LED strip would be too much for footwell lights??


EDIT: And how did you like your amber side markers?? Would it go with an all white front or do you think I should buy a clear side marker and a white bulb?

First of all, get clear corners regardless of which color bulb you decide on, it just looks better. Both colors will look good, I prefer white if they are going to be on all the time to match the rest of the lights. Amber looks cool if you have them rewired as turn signals though.

This link will ONLY work if you have incandescent bulbs in your clear corners. Because LEDs only work when inserted one way, this will not work. The way I had them wired up was very simple, I just tapped into the positive wire to the turn signal. But instead of wiring both positives to the corner, I just replaced the marker light positive with the turn signal positive. I put quick connectors on both so it's easy to swap back and forth.

Just replaced my interior lights (map lights & doors) with 194 rb and was wondering if anyone else flicker a little bit when coming on almost kinda like a strobe light would. I find it werid cause I replaced my parking lights with the same bulb and they don't do that at all. Anyone else have that problem?

They all flicker when coming on?

Btw, to the VLEDs guys ... any special sales (maybe a fun labor day sale) coming up?
