LED Underdash Light

f1rocco · 08-26-2009, 10:32 AM

I just bought some LED lights from Ebay and a Daystar Lower Dash Switch Panel with rocker switches which arrived yesterday. Am I able to connect both LED lights to the 12 V Socket without using a fuse/relay? Im not to familiar with wiring in a vehicle. I'm assuming that you can since LED lights waste very little energy. I want the switch to control the lights.

Anyone? I'm currently at work and really want to install them after work. Please help!

Yes you can, since like you said, LED's use very little power. But it is always safer to use a fuse just in case the wires ever get a short.

Perfect! Thank you very much!

I have connected a set of led lights on the windshield, wired directly to the rear lamps, without any fuse box. It works very well!

Here are some pictures of how I did it: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f96/dash-footwell-lighting-mod-842090/

I just installed the switch and the LED light. At first I connected it to the right 12V Outlet but I forgot that it always stayed on. The Rocker Switch had a light on it so I was worried it was going to drain my battery so I then had to install it on the left 12 V Outlet. Everything worked well. This is my first mod

I have two switched left on the Rocker switches which im going to reserve for my light bar im going to install and fog lights. I.m waiting for my upper dash panel do come so I have somewhere to put my phone and stuff.

So, the lights are for fun?

Because I can usually figure where to put my feet when I'm in the Jeep. I don't need to look down on the floorboards to see where to put my feet.

Not when you're with that hot chick and you need to make sure it's going in the right spot....

or you dropped a penny.

lol...for me it was more for fun but it looks good. Besides the lights cost me 6 bucks each. I needed the rocker switch in the long run for my future mods..Can't wait!
