October 28, 200915 yr maybe just wire it to a relay(or the ignition wire) so it turns on when you turn your truck on? and put the LED on the EDGE of the plexytake a loook on 12v.com if you need a wiring diagram to wire into the harness. Edited October 28, 200915 yr by CrazyKenKid
October 28, 200915 yr i thought you were asking how to illuminatea piece of plexy glass and how to hook up the led. sorry man Edited October 28, 200915 yr by CrazyKenKid
October 29, 200915 yr Author i am im talking about on 12v.com what exactly am i looking for on there i didnt see wire diagram maybe i missed it i just saw where what color wire was what
October 30, 200915 yr hey pos the link you were on. with the 12volt site i was just saying if you wanted to run your LED through your harness the 12volt site would tell you which color of wire to tap into for power and rem. so you could turn on the LED when you turned on your truck.
October 30, 200915 yr The good thing about LEDs is if you wire them backwards they won't blow. Just reverse the wiring and they'll work.You'll need to either get prewired LEDs (they already have the resistors oldered) or figure out what size resistor you'll need for the LED you'll be using (this can be a pain). I'd suggest visiting oznium forum. They can help you out a lot better. I've done something like you want in a vehicle. Really wasn't that hard.
October 31, 200915 yr Author i was thinking about using some from stylin concepts the door leds dont know if u have seen them they were three under the door. when im back on the site ill post it.
