I am trying to install some cold cathode floor lights in my 08 cobalt i was wondering were i would tie the wire into so that they will come on when the door opens ? i was also thinking about using the 12v fuse for the lighter but do not know whitch fuse it would be ?

 

I have this done with my Led bars. I didn't tap anything tho. Just bought a pin switch and there is a spot on the car that it fits into fine. Do you want it for all doors or the driver side?

I will get a pic of how its set up.

 

i am putting in 2 driver side and passenger side i would like the lights to come on when ether door opens i tryed to tie into the fuse for the dome light and it just stayed on no matter what so i am now tieing into the fuse for the sterio witch is 15A it works but they kick on when the key turns to acc.

well the good news is i can get then to turn on by using the acc fuse only issue is that one of them is only half lit up
this is what i am trying to use http://microcenter.com/single_produc...uct_id=0248877
any ideas

 

Look over every thing and make sure there are no lose wires.

 

You can use the switches that are already in the car if you want, I used them to wire up the lights under my doors so they are only on when the doors are open. They are grounds though, so you'd need to make a hot line from somewhere. It's pretty easy, you just gotta rip apart everything to get to them.

 

Here's where I did mine.

 

where would i get the hot line from they normaly for a pc thats why this is a little bit harder lol the 2 lights go into a 12v converter then you have your pos+ and neg- out i ran the pos+ to my acc fuse and the one works the other light only lights up half way

 

I have mine fuse tapped off of the amplifier fuse and ran to a switched source.

 

well guys thanks for the help!!. i ended up just using a switch just to avoid F**$ my warranty up on my ES so switch it was but still looks great the switch is hidden by my leg as i drive its nice as could be
