putting some leds under dash.

[irondiezl3]

I'm going to be mounting a couple leds under dash. Kinda like if you ever ownded a gagt they come factory with bulbs on each side. I'm gunna mount a led on each side to the same effect. It's all I need. Question what's the best or easiest location to wire these to so they come on with automatic lights when it gets dark out? If I dont go that route I could always hook them to the dome light wires right so they would come on anytime i open my door or turn the dimmer switch? I don't wanna add a switch that's why I ask.

ok i have mine underneath front of each seat, i just liked the way the light spread better.

my positive is from the cubby light and my negative is to the ciggarettle lighter, that way it comes on only at night and is attached to the dimmer

o yea i didnt even think about the cubby light. thats perfect. Thanks but why did u chose negative from cig lighter just out of curiosity?

[AleroDrime]

both wires going to the cubby light are positive, its how its gotta be as far as i know and the cig lighter was close buy since i had my radio trim out to paint

theres no difference as to what ground you use. Any will work just fine.

Easiest place to mount, is in the plastic above your feet. (if you have any, mine didn't come with it)

cubby light/dimmer switch are the two easiest places to splice into.

the dimmer switch will have a pos and neg wire right? and im assuming pop it out in a similar fashion as i did my center vent?

incorrect, the dimmer wheel is secured into that housing, take it off (the vent) and look behind it
