I am going to be installing LED lights for the floor...
BUT, Where can I get a power signal that turns on when I have the headlights on?

Just so I can have this installed w/ haveing the LED go off by it self when the headlights are off and the LED turning on when the headlights are on.

Anyone got any ideas???

You should be able to pull power from any of the dash lighting as it turns on and off with the headlights.

Are you referring to installing the LED under the driver and passenger side dash? If so you can run a power source inside the armrest storage. There is a light source there. When you turn on the headllight it will light up and when you turn off it will turn off.

red wire, black stripe, two silver dots = positive illum.

black wire = ground.

It's that easy...

Anything that lights up at night has these wires... splice into them.

I was talking about the front floor... Right above your foot...

Do you know any area in the car you see these easy wires? I was hoping to find some near my foot area...

I did this to my car and i wire the wires to the Cubby light so it turns on when only the dash lights comes on... so i guess the TL has something similar to this too... if you guys scared to mess it up put a relay circuit on it with a fuse to be sure :-)




something like this?

Whats a cubby light? sorry...
Also got any pics of the splicing? just want to know where abouts I can splice in.

bignoodleboi

oh on the TSX theres a storage under the radio and when you open it theres a little small light that shines thru... i dont know about the TLs... sorry... but i guess there would be a little light area for other places that you can tap into or splice...

sorry i dont have any pic of the splicing but on the TSX i just tap into the BLACK(negative) wires and the RED/BLACK(positive) wires

bignoodleboi

white strips for your teeth? haha JK i just one LED on each side dont want it too bright where it doesn't look factory

Hmm.... Anyone know where I can tap into for the blue light above... The light next to the garage opener button.

Couldnt find any DIY on it...

HELP?!?!?!

The two blue LEDs in the overhead console are surface-mount devices and are part of a printed circuit board. Tapping into that would be pretty risky compared to directly into a wire. That said, you should be able to find the wire that feeds the circuit board and tap into that.

I am guessing the wires up there match the same color coding as was mentioned earlier in this thread. It's easy to confirm all this with a circuit tester, though.

I wanted to avoid all of that and was trying to take the easy way out...

I guess im going to have to goto to radio chack and pick one up... and start investigating...

Thank for your help tho...

Just to let you guys know I used the Trunk opener light....
Also if you blow a fuse change out the small ligh fuse (10) under the hood.

As I stated earlier... All buttons that are illuminated have the illum wires. You can also tap off the little interior illum wires in the glove box.

I tapped my blue footwell lighting into the trunk release button on the left, and the glovebox illum on the right.

Wiring up LEDs is pretty easy. They are much better then the CCT. I have wired up CCT on the footwell and used flexible led strips on the door. I tapped into the door light and doom light. So when i unlock my door the leds turn on and when i open the door the lights turns on. They only turn on with the factory light. Ididnt want the light to stay on.
