Guidance For Wiring Foot Wells To The Ignition Ring?

[BenIS]

For some reason the guide is still not up. I dont know why. Ill ask again.

By myself just got my electrical tester out found the live scotch locked into it run positive to connector did the same with negative tucked the wiring away so not to be seen jobs a carrot just gotta decide where I'm going to mount the holders and its finished... Followed by running power for my puddle lights shouldn't take long to do :-)

Dean, your puddle lights are best connected to the red marker light in the door!

[deandavy]

Sorry Jomo but I couldn't disagree more. Puddle lights should come on as the car is unlocked or you'll already be stood in the puddle when you open the door and make the marker lights come on

[deandavy]

Ok, i see where your coming from now, i thought that you were placing them on the underside of the door, as that's where i have mine fitted.

What type of leds are you going to fit that can project light from the mirrors to the ground?

YES BEN! Thanks dude, I just have one question about the last few images, am I right in thinking the wiring goes like this, as I am a little confused:

Red / Black > White Box > Black Cable > Crimp > Fuse (Which one?) > Crimp > LEDs

< Black Cable to Ignition Light

Blue / Yellow > White Box > Black Cable > Crimp > LEDs

< Black Cable to Ignition Light

That's the simplest way I could think of writing that, lol...but is that right?

Also what inline fuse will I need? as you said you might not need it but I too am looking to install some more.

Thanks again Ben!

You are right apart from you want to put the fuse on the blue/yellow wire not the red/black. Ill find out what fuse you need then get back to you.

[deandavy]

I've run mine unfused as LED lights are very small draw I've also added puddle lights into my wing mirrors on the same circuit ill post a pic 2night once it's dark :-)

[deandavy]

Only pic I have atm
