ok so i got all the parts i need to finally install my leds in the footwell but im a noob at this stuff so im still confused on how to wire them. i got the round rocker switch off oznium and 4 1ft led strips. i popped out the empty slot for switches next to the trunk switch and im planing on puting the rocker switch there. the only things i need to know is how to connect the wires from the lights to the switch and how to wire it to a power source? if someone could send me a thread on a write up or how too or just give me steps that would be great!

ohh and i also just got my led stips that i want to put on the front bumper dont dont know exactly how to do that either so help with either installation or both would be much appreciated!

to wire up the switch to your lights, here's the setup:

to wire it to a power source, you can either tap into the a fuse or wire which you know comes on when the car turns on. many people use the fuse from the cigarette lighter from the cubby hole. for the ground, you can connect the wire to the bolt in the fuse panel under the steering wheel as shown here: (not my pic, taken from the other altima site)

hope that helps

attach the wires by soldering, and the fuse comes seperately, there's diff kind of fuses you can buy
