Hey i got a set of footwell lights and I want to hook it up to through the fuse box

How do i do this?

Do i put it into an empty slot

or do i put it with something like my headlights for example?

Please dont refer me to the how to thread on this it isnt the question

Thanks in advance!

 

well if you're going to go through the fuse box you need an "add-a-circut" can get these at any car store like advance or autozone. The next question is when do you want them to light up? with the headlights or do you want to turn them on whenever? this will determine the slot in the fuse box and/or the application of a switch. hope this helps.

Yes it does thank you, this add a circuit will then add to a pre existing one such as the lights i guess and alow me to connect the wires?

 

you got it.... it plugs in just like a fuse, then it has two slots for fuses (the existing one and then one for whatever you're running) from the second slot it has wires for you to connect for power... all you need to do is find a ground and your good to go.

 

oo i see its a splitter,,,would a relay do the same thing cause i have one here

 

it prob would work but depending on the relay, the wiring could be a little tricky... not sure tho

 

ok i went and talked to the guy were i purchased the Leds...he said i could hook it up directly to the fuse box so i opened it up and now i dont know were to put the wires, i attach it to the harness below all the fuses correct?

for instance, i want to hook it up to the light cluster circuit, the guy were i bought the led said i could hook it up into one directly and the splitter is not neccesary, so were do i put the wire? in the harness below it? If you cant understand this just ask for a picture if that will help ill try to have one up late tonight

 

you "could" strip a part of the positive wire and "wrap" it around one prong of the fuse and put the fuse back in and ground the black wire

This works BUT keep in mind this isnt the SAFEST method

 

ok thanks man sounds good...whats the danger? Blown fuse?

whats the ground in the fuse box...im glad the manual tells me what i need to know / sarcasm/

 

someone i kno hooked there street glow up to there fuse box and it blew the lights.

 

it blew the actual bulb or the fuse? How should i ground the wire?

 

if you need help you can just bring it to me and ill help you do it this week...

 

thanks dude but i feel like this is mad easy and i could do it pretty quick i just dont know were to ground the wire, if i cant get it ill prolly stop by, but i really appreciate it man

this how-to i wrote should give you all the wiring locations you need

 

wow, +1 dude awsome write up, i looked for an add a-circuit the past two days and have come up empty handed, were did you get yours? I think i might get one tommorow to be on the safe side, i dont know were an autozone is near me, i live in bergen county, oakland to be specific if you know were that is

 

just buy a on/off switch and tap power and ground from the cigarette lighter. this is the simplest way...install of everything only took me 45 minutes

 

the closest one to me is in belleville.

there's one in paterson, but i wouldnt go there it kinda sucks. there's also a bunch in clifton

i use advance auto parts whic is right in nutley. they have the best store IMO

 

i hate the wire in the middle

im not big on the wire going across into the cigarete lighter

paterson is the closest so ima call em tommorow and if they have it ill just take a ride through the ghetto...haha jk

IMO the add-a circut is the easiest and safest way to tap the fuse box if you can get one... good luck with the mod

 

haha yeah let mek now how it works out i can always pick oneup for you im at advance every day getting parts for my other car haha

 

it blew the actually bulb. the fuse was fine. i think the problem was he was giving too much power to the bulbs and they couldnt handle it. what i'd do is hook it to a on/off switch. im hooking mine up sunday. if yours arn't dont before then i'll let you know what i did. maybe it'll help
