Hey all
just been having a look at a set of these i have found for 3 quid in a reduced bin in halfords (!!!) and was wondering if it was possible to fit them directly to the battery with an inline fuse and a switch inside the car so i still have full use of the sidelights etc when driving
they are 12v ones of curse. 2 of them with 9 LED's in each with a + and - wire from each
never really done it before so was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to wire them really

Re: Daytime Styling Lights
done a bit of googling and found this
each led strip has a + (12V) and a - (Ground) wire from it
i can wire the + (12V) wires from each light strip directly to the battery + with an inline on/off switch inbetween mounted wherever in the car
the - (ground wires) can be placed anywhere on the car bodywork for grounding or another ground wire somewhere
will this method need a fuse inline at all?

Re: Daytime Styling Lights
well a fuse just protects it really, but you dont have to install a fuse, i dont always install a fuse when i wire things up.

Re: Daytime Styling Lights
well a fuse holder and a good compatible fuse is looking around £2...they only cost 3 themselves so i dont think il bother.
if they dont work its no big deal....just a cheap little mod i thought

Re: Daytime Styling Lights
you could just use a normal blade fuse and push a couple of clips onto the arms of the blade fuse then wrap in black tape it'l do the same thing, thats if you want to fuse it.

Re: Daytime Styling Lights
all fitted nicely!
just needed a bit more wire to extend from the internal switch and it was all good from there!
will get pics up as soon as we get a bit of darkness!
