Aaron813 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 What i would do is oepn your trunk and stick the wires in that connector and if it doesnt work then just switch were the wires were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron813 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The packaging that that light came in should tell whats postive and negative i used to put those on mopeds for like 75 dollars a piece. The wire in your trunk the negative should the one with a stripe on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white_boi_audio Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Ive always thought that the copper wire was positive and the silver wire was negative. Just put the wires in that connector one on each side and see if it lights up if it doesn't switch them around. See if you can get like male terminals/connectors from autozone unless you have some and see if they will fit into the stock light connector tight and then crimp both pos and both negs to the male terminals and plug it into the connector and you'll power both.

Stephen Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Im pretty sure those need a inverter box and cant be hooked straight to dc Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

white_boi_audio Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Im pretty sure those need a inverter box and cant be hooked straight to dc Don't think so I bought one with a cigarette lighter end on it and I chopped it off and tapped into my brake lights with wire taps so when at night time only I would turn on my lights it would automatically turn on.
