Searched And Searched, But Nowhere To Be Found!!! LED Question

after all my seraching on AZ for 2nd gen/3rd gen(under doorsills, led;s), and even google and yahoo... i can't seem to find how to hook up some SIMPLE LED's i bought online....

i mean i looked under by the footwell and tore everything apart and had no idea to put the "positve" end and "negative" and of my LED...

because the led is just simply a 2 feet wire connected to a tiny LED... one wire a positve and the other a negative...

Please help, i don't mean to annoy anyone but i don't think there's a thread saying where i could hook up the wires in a "04-07 acura tl"



here it is !!!




thanks everyone !

Red is positive and Black is negative, but does this LED run on 12V? Do you want it on at all times or only when your lights are on or only when your doors are open?

most likely he wants it with lights on. If anyone can, can you post which wires to tap if you want the LED to work when you have the headlights on. Thanks

The red wire can go to any wire that "illuminates" one of the existing dash buttons.

That led's is gonna blow though, it has no resistor. Did you pay for that $.50 setup?

HyperLED Lights produce virtually NO heat - An HyperLED light uses so little power that in most cases the bulb will not even feel warm to the touch, even after hours of use. Also the very small size of HyperLED allow easy and discrete installation while putting amazing amount of light. This makes hyperLED lights ideal for small spaces where heat may be a concern.


HyperLED Lights are unaffected by vibration - Unlike a halogen bulb, HyperLED lights have no filaments, or tiny parts inside the bulb which can come loose during vibration. This makes them not only more durable, but much more dependable and really awesome for motorcycle, ATV and boats applications!

A very useful installation kit is included with every single HyperLED we are selling which allow multiple installation possibilities and of course, better lighting effect!
