Hi guys ,


Im wiring a single strip LED in my left footwell , ive stuck the LED on the underside of the glove comparntment and ive ran a short amount of wire back into MY ASH TRAY below where the little ash tray is im guessing these are NEG & POS , so the lights will come on when side lights and headlights on but i dont want that does anyone know what sort of with i need to control as when my lights stay on i can switch my LED's on/off due to it being to bright whilst driving and draining battery ? Im guessing its a 2 way switch just power out from the ashtray light into my switch and the wire out to my LED's.

Thanks guys

spst switch with a inline fuse wired into the cig lighter would be fine. just make sure you do the connections properly and take the battery off first!!!!!!

yeah you can do. as long as you have a 12v dc positive and negative then all is good. just make sure the LED's are wired the correct way round as they are polarity sensitive.
