Whats up fellow box lovers? so i am starting to do some mods to my box. i want to put leds in the interior of my car but i dont want to run wires all the way to my battery, i feel like i can just wire them to the back of the power outlet under the shifter in the front. does any one have experience with doing that and can show me pictures or anything on how to do it properly. i want my car legit as possible, thank you!

hmmm either im not understanding exactly what your trying to tell me or im ur not understanding what i want to do. i dont want to run it to the fuse box, or battery, they are right next to eachother, i want to just run the wires to power port if thats possible. if im ignorant just tell me so because i do not do many car mods

ok, so im running the leds under driver and passanger, i just run positives to add fuse, and negatives, to like a screw? its the negative/ground wires that concern me the most i guess.

Check out my Android tablet install I got pictures, also I didn't know they made add a fuse or circuit that small for our car.

DaWiz711 is correct a add a fuse will be the best thing to use and yes they have the correct size for the scion fuses. there are many ground spots all over the car just need to get under the dash or remove your side panels and you will see grounding points.

ok i finally know exactly what to do, my only concern now, is which fuse should i tap into? i can only find 10a add a fuses at the store, and i know cig lighter is 15a, i have a 20a sunroof fuse even though there is no sunroof. which would be best to use. i have 2012 scion xb if that makes any difference

If you're going to be drawing power off of the power outlet, I'd highly recommend adding a relay. It's the proper way of going about things.

Used my power port to light my orange LED's . Under the dash , two under the back seat and two in the small storage bin holes in the back . Pretty low voltage & amps . Haven't had a problem with them . My volt gauge never changes when plugged in . Easy afternoon project .
