Blue footwell leds... ([8]pics inside)

[Rob.Vegan]

Not great quality because I don't have a real digital camera, I just borrowed my moms. It's pretty good but not as functional as an SLR or anything like that...

Anyway I have blue leds from oznium (flexible 9") under the dash and above the pedals (one on each side) and two in the back, however the ones in the back aren't wired up correctly so only pics of my two in the front

The switch is just a blue led one from autozone, not very secure but that's not my main concern right now

Hey Rob. It looks really cool man. Are you going to show us how to do it ? You should come down here and install for me yo.

[Rob.Vegan]

You know I would go down there and install it for you, but honestly I did a half *** job.My brother (mechanic) gets kinda stingy with his tools so I just got some electrical tape and taped the wires together along with crimps.

I couldn't find out how to apply to a fuse so I just mingled the wire from the lights and switch into the fuse holder for the front power socket. everything works fine and has for about a month or two but I don't know how long it will last, I don't want to do your setup and have it blow something out or just do a crappy job in general

If you truly don't mind I am happy to do it for you. I didn't take pics of install and considering my lack of effort I wouldn't really want anyone taking my directions for this so I will not be doing a write up. LBC has a write up on his setup I believe though

However if you have wire (i have some extra) a switch and a solder along with wire crimps and the little things to actually connect wires (forgot what it was called) then sure i'll do it for you

someone already did a writeup on this!

i was wondering if anyone could tell me what size fuse and fuse holder i would need in order to do the footwell leds?

[Rob.Vegan]

I rewired these lights finally about a month ago. Everything is good now. It's now correctly hooked up to my front power socket. I used a 15fuse I believe. I can check again if you need to know. I used a 12g wire for most of it.

[SneakyFish]

would you mind checking, cause i emailed oznium and they told me that a 1 amp fuse would be enough. also with the fuse holder, would i need a 10g since they dont have 12? is it true that i wouldnt need a fuse is i wire into one of the fuses in the fuse box? sorry for all the questions. im kind of electrically challenged

[Rob.Vegan]

I would trust Oznium over anything I have to say on this situation.

I really doubt you will need a 10g, It depends on how much power you have going through them. After all is done I will be having about 10 lights going to that switch so I figured to start out at a 12g.

The Oznium strips by themselves I think are about a 22 or 24g even, You shouldn't need a wire too bulky.

I will check when I go out to my car and look at the fuse anda get back at you asap

Depending on how many LEDs you've got (and assuming it's not very many) a 1-3amp fuse will be plenty. I've currently got a 5amp fuse for my interior lights, but I've also got quite a few of them and that number is only gonna grow! Rob, 15 is waaay too much for that... haha

As for wiring, Rob is correct. 10ga is overkill. So is 12ga. LEDs draw very little current, so even the much larger 38" strips only have 22ga coming off of them. Personally, I'm using 16-18ga to wire everything in my car, and even that's a bit too much I think!

BTW Rob, lookin' good man!

[SneakyFish]

alright thanks. you guys wouldnt be able to tell me how to wire it to the 12v or fuse box would you?

[Rob.Vegan]

Ya I know 15 is overkill but I was i kept grabbing the wrong size fuse for the fuse holder I got and they didn't have much else besides the 15 so I just grabbed that.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone had info on how to get to the battery most likely through the firewall. I was trying to get through the grommet for like 30minutes to no avail, that's why I just tapped into the cig lighter up front.

Thanks for the compliment ESP I'm hoping to add more real real soon
