Rep Power: 0 i can give you a few suggestions...i'm not sure if your led washer lights have two or three wires...i'll assume two wires
1) run the led wires to your parking light wires. for this, spend an extra couple of dollars by buying some components (you will need four in total) that connects two wires together without splicing any wires. you can research these and ask for samples so you won't have to pay anything but it will take about a few weeks...or just splice the wires carefully and connect it that way. (RECOMMENDED)
2) if you want the led on only when the car is on...run the led wires towards the firewall where a rubber grommet is covering a hole that leads towards the inside of the car...connect the negative (black wires...if it is color coded) towards chassis ground and the other (red wire) towards your +12V accessory wire...that is the wire that connects to the accessory plug...if you want a switch then connect the red wire to a switch first (assuming it is a spst switch...no light...regular switch)...then the other to the +12V accessory wire
3) if you have a lot of time...buy one of those solar detectors and connect it so it will come on automatically when it is dark...
4) connect it to the signal turn lights...
i used to have white ones as well but they turn a little bit bluish before then i changed them to the yellow leds...they look great (before i took them off) because the color is then similar to the turn signals and they are cheap and widely available unlike blue or white leds...
