ok i want to install LED lights in my cup holders, door storage(at the bottom by your feet), the glove box(since there is no light that ____es me offff), and maybe the a/c vents..

but i have a question maybe one of your genius' can answer.
i currently have installed 4 LED tubes. one under each front seat, one under driver dash, and one under pass dash, i did myself. very hidden and still bright. i have the power ran through firewall hooked up to battery with a 5 amp fuse i put in the wire(don't know if it will help anything but did it). there is a remote that i have to push and turn them on and cycle through the colors and what not.

well my question is..is there a way to hook up the cup holder, a/c vent, and door single LED'S i want to install to that set up that i already have so that they turn on with my LED tubes when i hit my wireless remote? basically i don't want switches installed all over my dashboard just to turn on light..

i plan on doing a complete LED swap on my guage cluster including needle color change and also doing my HVAC/Climate Control and would really like to do this all at once so im not taking my crap apart 20 times for this project im doing myself for the FIRST TIME!! LOL..


??? anybody have an answer for thatt ??

 

why the hell did you run the power from the battery. All you needed was to tap into the cig ligther wiring lol...

If you already have a wireless remote switch, then...you just run all of your Positive and/or negative wiring to that terminal. Then you can switch everything with your wireless remote thingy..

 

you could up the fuse on the wire that you have connected to the battery and then from there just run wires and splice into the same wire?

 

hahaa yea i guess your totally right about the cigarette lighter but i didn't think of that then..and i didn't have to remove any part of my center console or waterfall to do this..i just ran wires under carpet i pulled back.

also the current set up i have with the wireless remote has like a black box that gets the transmition from the remote..any suggestions on how to tap into that to make it work like you said as far as running positive and negs..idk maybe i just need to take it apart and trial by error lol..

 

splice and solder? T-Taps? If you just run all the wires to the same "switch" or in yourcase this terminal they should operate on the same system.

Dont be scared about taking apart your waterfall its really easy and no worries about it breaking

 

ya i guess that makes sense..gonna be a task to hook up all those positives and negatives to one fuse..
buttt wouldn't doing that turn them on and leave them on automatically when i make a connection since its connected to the wire inbetween the battery terminal and the transmitter box that recieves the signal to turn on the LED tubes??

i know i sound like an idiot but i get really annoyed by crap that doesn't go my way while im working on it and don't know a fix..i like to go into a job know every anglee

 

for some reason, after reading this i only see you doing this really hard for yourself lol there are much easier ways of hooking up leds other than what you are trying to do lol

 

yea ill probly use t taps and just tap into some of those wires..

ohh and im totally not scared about the waterfall..obviously any member of this site can tell i just join and its my first scion forum and im glad i did..you guys post DIY directions out the @ss so i know how to do it noww..can't wait to get my car where i want it.
