Hey folks...

I am about to install some LED mood lights under the dash and in the door handles. I am using the Varad ILK103 (amber to match the console display) These LEDs have built-in resistors, so all I need is a switched 12v power supply.

So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to where to attach for power. preferrably I would only want the LEDs to turn on when the headlights are on, but I could live with them being on whenever the engine is on, since they have a 10K hour life.

Any suggestions?

Also, I have read somewhere that someone used Raybrig 29x8mm Festoon bulbs to replace the under-door lights. I am looking for amber festoon LEDs in amber if anyone has a source. Can we use 31x10mm? As that is all I can find. I cannot find any 29mm anywhere, other than those Raybrigs in hyper white.

Cheers, Ted

You can use either cigarette lighter. Then you have access on both sides and you only have to remove 3 or 4 screws.

Thanks Russ.... that's exactly what I am going to do... I am assuming that the power for the light around the bezel of the cig-lighter is controlled by the headlights, so that would make perfect sense!!

Now I just need to source some 29x8mm festoon LEDs, or find out if we can use 31x10mm LEDs. Anybody?

thanks again russ... -ted
