Power for interior LEDS
Monday, March 05, 2007 5:20 PM
Jus thought of something. Exaclty how would I go about powering leds and 12v accessories in the interior of my car without popping the 12v fuse every time I hit a switch. Obviously the 12V from the cigarette lighter is rated for a very low amperage, where do you guys hook your interior toys upto?

Hmm, from the battery to the console? is it possible to run a third distro block off of the distroblock that my amps are gonna be hooked up to and run that into an 8 or 12 terminal strip in my trunk? I'll probably switch it and stuff, but if it's possible to use the wiring that I'm going to do for my amps as an ouput for accessories too that'd kick ass. Good idea?

If you want to run it off your amps then. Your going to need a relay for your remote wire. Then just tap into your remote wire for +12v then when you turn your HU on your lights will come on. but you will still need power to the relay. But you can just tap into your 12v+ distro block if you have a switch to turn it on and off.


heres something i came up with so your lights will be turned on and off with your HU:
