I am trying to begin some customization on my vehicle. I was planning on installing fog lights and some interior led/neons inside. I have bought a couple rocker switches and some wiring. I also bought a Pilot Performance Switches PL-SW16 as seen below.


I am not sure where to access the power for it. I tried a simple test with an led nozzle light. I applied the ground wire and connected the red o to a screw located in the fuse box. This immediately melted the wire on the. What is going on here? and whats the best way to connect the wiring.

I'm not familiar with performance switches thing you bought, are you trying you route both the foglights and leds through it?

Well I want to but I want to do it the right way. Should I try and tap in the batt?

That depends.

You can draw power for the leds off the a million different things, because the power draw is so small. Many of us here have leds behind our climate control ***** and we wire those straight off the stock bulbs. If you want to put leds in the vents, cup holders, under the seats and such you can use a switch and draw power from the cigarette lighter.

There are a few different ways to wire foglights in place, including straight off the battery. There's a DIY on wiring up foglights under 7g DIYs.
