I'm going to tap into the cigarette lighter power to run them....I was just wondering if i should use a separate ground or can I just tap into the ground for the cigarette lighter? Any suggestions or advice is appreciated....

 

you can use the cig lighter for power and ground. there will be no problem with that. just remember that you have to turn the key on for the lights to work, so you will not be able to sit with the car off and have the lights on.

 

Add-a-circuit. Grab one at Pep Boys, Autozone, NAPA, or whatever your local automotive store is. I think they're like $5 and worth every penny...

 

and this will allow me to turn them on while the car is off.....?

 

good point....thanx

 

If you do my suggestion you will be able to use them whenever you want. the car wont have to be on...

 

inccorect (sort of)

you have to find a fuse that stays live (+12v) at all times. Some fuse slots only go active when the car is on, or something else is turned on.

 

thank for the advice....

 

I will keep that in mind during install.....

 

I just meant there are circuits in the fuse box that can be used all the time. Its true, some of them only work when the car is on...

 

Dome light.....

 

ive got a box, that i got at pep boys, runs 4 different applications. 2 have my Varads Leds, car doesnt have to be on has a nice 4 pad flat touch pad switch. cost like 20 bucks...worth it!!

 

I've seen those, and thought they were pretty cool. You have any pics of where you installed the switches?

 

I'll go shoot a few and post them...if I can remember how to do that.....

 

Ok so here they are

and

 

doh....the switch is at the top of that pocket

 

i can't see the pics for some reason...?

 

Ok....can anyone else not see them?

 

Nevermind....it's just my browser @ work....I can view them now that i am home....
