Rep Power: 297

So I bought the Varad Hyper Led Kit, and was wondering basically what do I wire them up to. I would like to have them turn on when I turn my headlights on, and they are all pre wired so that it runs off any 12v source with the right resistors and everything, so no need to worry about that, I just need a 12v source that I can wire 4 of them up to.
Thanks

anyone?

Don't know what that kit is, underglow? You can prolly tap it to the parking light depending on what the current draw is, or use a relay. Or even better just use a switch wired in line with the power wire from the battery.

No, thier just Leds that are prefabbed so that they incude the right resistor and whatnot, Ill post pics so you guys understand more, hang on

oh okay, yea you can tap those off the parking light wire then and they'll turn on with the parking lights. I have my floor lighting wired to the cig lighter so it comes on when the key is in the ignition.

Here are the pictures, Basically, I would like them to light up when the lights are turned on. No need to have them on during the day, as it wont do anything. But I want a place where the voltage will be properly supplied. I just like to do my stuff properly so thats why I havent just wired them up to the battery or something.

Led lights draw so little current it doesn't matter. Just tap power to the red wire going to the parking light in the front headlights and the black wire to a good chassis ground.

Is there anything interior that I can connect it to? I really dont wanna run wires all the way to the engine bay, unless I am reading it wrong

Radio, dash lights ,ect.

are those all 12v sources? Sorry for the n00b questions. Electronics for cars isnt one of my strong points yet. Computers is much easier.

buy a fuse tap (pic below)...replace the headlight fuse in your fuse box with the fuse tap, run a wire from the lead on the fuse tap to a relay, and then wire the + lead of your LEDs to the relay...don't forget to ground the - lead...

here's a pic of a fuse tap...


and here's a pic of a fuse tap (lower right side of fuse box) and the relay i'm using (before i cleaned up all the wires)...


hope this helps...good luck!

Could I then wire them up to the Lights that light up the instrument panel(Warmer/Colder, fan speed guages)

the way you explain seems like more work then should be needed for this, I gues if all comes to worse, I could just connect them to the 12v accessorie socket.

yup, all lights are 12 volt!

you don't need the relay, it's just recommended...but since LEDs draw so little power, you can just splice the positive wire from your LEDs onto the lead from the tap fuse...

even if you use the relay, it's like a 5 minute wiring job...any n00b can do it...the fuse tap and relays even come with wiring diagrams...and its definitely faster than splicing up 10 feet of wire to run through the firewall to your headlights...

Splice leds onto any power. They're all 12v as far as I know.

Oh ok, Thanks, just was unsure, didnt wanna wreck anything.,
