How Do You Wire Leds Into Your Car?


Recommended Posts

What wires do you use do you have to run the power directly to the battery or is there something i can tap into? and any good led sites you can give me would be great, because i cant find anything good local. thanks

I use the fuse panel inside the car. usually under the steering wheel (or close to) and pull the power from there to power my LEDs

do you think you can give me a site where i can find this thing, cuz i think i have that adapter but my led's wire is wayyyyyyyy too small, and any good led sites?

What do you mean? You find a switched power source in your fuse box, plug the wires to it so it only turns on when your cars on or however you want it wired, no adapter need lol.

does every car have a switched power source in the fuse box and if so what does it look like? I meant that i have this fuse powered thing that plugs into the fuse and turns it into a 18 guage wire so you can run the power.

Yeah, get yourself a test light, turn your car off, find fuses that don't have power to them, turn your car on and see if it then has power. If you find one that is off when your keys off and on when your keys on then walla you have yourself a switched power source. I don't use adapters, I do it the ghetto way, remove the fuse, insert wire, re insert fuse lol.
