Interior: How To: Install LEDs In CupHolders (Tons of Pics 56K warning)
i got leds in under my dash and seats and in my cupholders as well... Its very easy to wire youjust have to take about 2 hours to wire it. check mine on cardomain, pics arent as good as the guy with the green leds. I put my switches in a differnt spot as well.

What I reccomend you do, is strip some of the insulator off of one of the 12v wires, and connect your LED's to those.
(don't forget the switch you should have to turn them on/off).
Later on, I might wire them to my headlights, so when they come on, so do the cupholder LEDs.
I've never really did any wiring n a car before so I was hoping you could answer some questions for me.
1. How do you tap into the cigar lighter (what color wires hook up to what)?
2. What is needed to hook into the fuse block, where would you put the fuse at and how do you hook into the fuse block.
If you could answer these questons I would greatly appreciate it and pics would probably help greatly.

The wire you want to tap into for power isn't black.

nope i touched the ground to the power wire and POOF went fuse...oh well, they have replacements in the fusebox (i wired into the accesory outlet....canstant power even when keys are out and everything, I can turn them on whenever I want, as opposed to going to the power outlet). Its so damn hard to mount a damn thing in these cars! 4 months later, I STILL dont have the back right LED mounted (blew all the LED's...whoops!)

buy something with a sensitive box connected, splice into the line after the box, and there you go...its just a box that controls that.
