#14525, "where should I wire these leds"


          

I have red led washer lights installed...it was kinda a bitch..talking about putting the washer thing on the light having to reach in there and just hope it came on..finally did...but I did run my wires like ground to -battery and power to headlights...problem though then they stay on continously had them on for 15 minutes and got pulled over...I want to keep them because red lights on a red car look tight...but I am about to get two 12" neons for my interior...and I want to keep all them together pretty much...and I plan to add a red underbody soon...I will let a pro do that...but where should I run the lights to I think I should just get a switch...and run wires to power for headlights so they come on when headlights do but just a switch ran to the interior so I could toggle them on/off when I needed to...any ideas?

i would just wire them to a power source so that they are on all the time
then go to radioshack and get a switch and just hook it up in the loop
run it thru the firewall and either let it hang or i guess you could install it somewhere
but that i would think would be the easiest way... it would cut the headlights out of the loop and thus eliminating one more thing that could mess up
just my thoughts

If you are evre putting lights on your car I always follow 1 rule, use a relay & switch and hook them up to the parking lights, unless you want to have it on when the parking lights are off, then its a different story. The reason you wanna use the relay is because it lets you use the parking lights power as the power that will switch the relay, but not have to use the Parking lights power to actually power the lights. Then you don't have to worry about the dimmer screwing the other lights up. Anyways, using my method eliminates any interaction beween the extra lights and the parking/driving lights, cuz you don't want your lights to blow because of a LED washer nozzle. Anyways if you want more info on wiring lights feel free to IM me or whatever.

But I have blue and i figured i would have been pulled over by now, but i just drive right by the cops and they just look.. Even got a compliment from a cop. He said that he should but some on his car that flash....i was like o----k?
