the bonnet i got of mobiius has led's fitted in the washer jets..just wondering if anyone got any tips on wiring them in properly??
iv decided i want them on the same switch as my interior footwell led's..so would u just need some kind of connector to join them onto the existing wire? sorry im poo at electrical stuff lol

u get em in rows like this but can just cut off how many u need to use. they dirt cheap, like a £1 for a block of 10 of em. although soldering is a better option tbh.

mine had some on wen i bought it, they wired em to the sidelights that way they only come on when the lights are on,
these ones wer just taped with insulating tape, which is why apart from them looking tacky, i took them off :)

ok..so once i get these..where do all the wires go? lol..coz basically im gonna have 4 wires(2 black and 2 red) from the bonnet led's,then the wire coming from the switch to the footwell led's...so do i just cut the wire coming out from the switch..then what?

yea jst cut the wire after the switch so between switch and neons and then get the ends of the washer led wires and put both the red wires in one end obv strip to cable and out the copper and then both black in the other side obv strip back again. make sure there is no copper showing or sticking out from the connector block
