Re: Interior Lights

Yea, its not hard (if you can do basic electronics). Just need to mount LED strips and run them to your interior light wire or a separate toggle.

These led strips looks amazing. I will surely try them.

Re: Interior Lights

Also remember CCFL, like what's in modded computer cases can work well too, they just take a minute or 2 to reach full brightness. Logisis is pretty affordable

With mine I took the 12 Voltage source wire, screwed it on the off side of the toggle switch and connected the positive (hot) wire to the on side of the toggle switch, then just have the ground going to ground. Message me if you stilll need more

Got it thanks! I actually did it a lot differently. I ran the power source wire from one side of the switch to the fuse of the 12V in the fuse box (jusr stripped the wire and wrapped it around the contact). Then I ran the power for the lights to the other side of the switch. And finally grounded it. Works perfect and I can still use my 12V outlet
