I just got 2 sets of 4 white leds from ebay, gonna try to install them in the A/C vents see how that gonna look.

check out the link : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

scroll the web page all the way down u'll see the switch it came with, i'm an idiot on wiring, all i know is black to black, red to red. So maybe some pro here can help me out a little.

O, by the way, I'm also considering one of those lighted switch. I konw "search" is my good friend. I found a recent thread about blinker but that's sort of another situation.

So, what should i wire it if i got a lighted switch???

 

with the switch, main hot wire to LOAD, ground wire to any screw, Power to to your LEDs.

Becareful when you will be pulling the whole console trim off, dont break anything.

I assume the best way to connect them is thru your parking lights, this way they will turn off with the parking lights off.

 

thats pretty easy.. but hard to explain.. ill make a diagram so u can understand it much easier

 

Heres your diagram

- Remember all your negatives are grounds

 

i was gonna do this a while back and i was told in order to get behind the vents was a bitch lol good luck doin it i gave up maybe ill do it later on let me know how everything goes iw anna see the end results....GOOD LUCK!!!

 

heres my old post from over at acura inspired read it because it has a lot of information that should be useful to you enjoy

Thanks a lot guys, those info really help me out!!!!!

I will get a lighted switch for it. I want the swith to light up when i turn on the head light. And leds on when i turn the a/c on. But i can still have the leds off a/c on by turning off the switch.( i hope u guys und. what i'm talking about)

So....What would you guys suggest for the constant power for switch light (the digital clock??) And is it possible for me to wire all leds to the power of the A/C button??

Thanks in advance, u guys were great!!!

 

i dont believe you can draw much from A/C power, since Im sure the voltage there is well below 12v to support the stock bulbs/LEDs. Just connect to a steady 12v, and use a switch. Dont get too fancy with it, especially when you dont feel too comfortable with the electric wiring.

 

yea man i would leave it to that one switch especially with the wiring u dont want to many wires cuz they could short out..........u can run the switch to your headlight switch but i dont kno how maybe someone else can help u out wit that but i kno u can do it jus not sure how good luck

 

if you lived any where around me, I would of helped you. You dont have to splice your wiring, you can use a special tapping clip, that goes over a wire, clips on it, and makes a connection, to which you can add a wire, sold at most auto stores.

 

i think teknoking wants his REP points lol........u seem to kno alot about wiring.....too bad i dont kno shit about it lol

 

Well..Guess i'll abort my plan and go for the simple one. Switch on steady 12V. Which wire will you guys suggest to me?? I mean which wire in there i'll see after i take down the center console?????

Yea teknoking, i know those clip wire thing and i'm gonnna get some. Too bad i live way too far from NY, i jsut got back from there thou. Damn i love NYC hopefully i can get a job there after graduate.

I dont really care about rep points but since ppl like it, o well, rep points for everyone.

THanks again for the help. Love this forum

 

I suggest you stick to any wiring actually done around the fuse box, so you can even use add-a-circuit plug...its bettery to have connetions under one place so you know where to look in case of anything, and if you want to check which wire is hot and when, use a multimeter, stick the black-negative end at the chasis, and the red at the tip of the wires.

i'll be back later, got a new yellotop battery today, i need to raise is up a little bit, peace.
