LED hoodlight hookup?
ye can someone tell me how the hell to hook these things up. The site i bought them off and the directions that came with the product tell you 2 totally different things. I even had 2 guys from my hood try to help me and neither could do it either. also tell me on if its better for them to be hooked to the blinker or park lights. I'm a beginner under tha hood so break it down..thanx
Do a search. I believe there were plenty of topics on this, along with DIY.
Basic concept is 12V+ to your red wire and black goes to ground. If you want it switched when a certain thing is turned on you need to find that switched 12V+ source.

i hooked mine to by blinkers...I took the blinker light bulb out and put the red wire into one of the prong things that the blinker bulb goes into( you would have to take out your blinker bulb for a better description). Then I put the bulb back in(that way the wire is shoved in there and won't go anywhere). I took the black wire and grounded it.(most screws will work or just mount to some piece of metal under the hood). It's probably better to splice into the wiring harness but my way was quicker. And now whenever I signal, the led comes on too..but it doesnt stay on with the running lights. I still didnt figure that part out.
