Had these done today but noticed that you can see the actual light bar on the drivers side if you sit in the back seat. (So your passengers can see it) it looks goofy. The drivers footwell doesn’t have anywhere deeper to mount it so I’m thinking of installing a piece of plastic on the dash part so that I can mount the light bar deeper.
The fuse you tap into is up to you based on when you want the lights to come on. I tap into one of the 12V outlet fuses. With the tap you reuse one of the existing fuses from the spot you tap into, then whatever protection you want for the lights. I don’t think you need anything crazy so a 5amp or 10amp fuse should work if you have that lying around. The lights don’t draw much power
Out off all the videos I've seen think yours is the only one that allows the LEDs to run all the time so thankyou my car's a 4 door and I wanted to install some LEDs for the rear passengers what would be the easiest way to do that?
ERoders same thing I did but you’re going to want longer wire and get them to go back to under the driver and passenger seat, you can hide them under the side or centre trim. Then just find a solid spot to stick them, preferable something metal that doesn’t move
how do you know what amp of fuse to use for the leds? also was the soldering you did for connecting the two strips together? or did you connect them to the same fuse tap another way?
John Doe I soldered the two strips together that way I only had to connect one line to the fuse tap. As far as what fuse to use I often just use the same size fuse that was in the slot before adding the tap. The fuse makes it so if a surge of current hits, the fuse blows before your electronics, j didn’t calculate exactly how much current the LEDs could withstand before blowing. When I read online the 10A range seemed safe enough for what I was Doing
