LED Wiring Help

[infernoredram]

I want to install a small LED strip today back in that area where the arrow is.


At night I can't see a darn thing down there so I picked up some small red led strips to light up the area. I'd like that strip to come on with the parking lights, so how could I wire them to come on like that?

Thanks

Figure out which wire is the parking light on the back of the headlight switch and tap into that. I know on mine it was an orange wire.

You could also use the illumination wire to the radio.

Got it thanks guys! But which one would be easier to access... I was thinking the parking light wire?

To get to the parking light the best way to access it would be through here I'm guessing?


If so, how do you get that thing off? Pry it?

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Yes. That would be one way. And yes. It just pries off. Idk how skinny you are. But I was able to reach up under the dash and pop the switch out from behind without removing anything. And then tap into it that way.

My dad poked around with a multimeter and found a wire that did what your looking for

there should be a light up there already. Mine does, just use those wires.

Nope, mine just has a rectangle hole there! Wtf. Would you mind snapping a pic for me?

Regardless I got it done, and will have pics once it gets dark

Btw, that's looks slick Cody

Finished


Btw that wire is my aux chord, it's a perfect clean install

Nice! How'd ya end up popping the headlight switch out?

 

[infernoredram]

Thanks man! I stuck my hand in there and unclipped it lol...cut and spiced the wires, tied the excess back, and done!

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Yup, exactly what I did. Extremely simple. Good job.

 

[infernoredram]

Thanks. And yeah, it was a lot simpler than I thought it was gonna be lol. Won a set of glowshift gauges so that'll be my next electrical gig
