Small Electrical ?
How would I rig up a small 12 volts, 25 mA light bulb to go on when i turn my lights on? Doesn't have to be pretty just needs to work. Thanks.

There are a half a dozen ways to do it. You didn't say where you wanted to put the light or why you wanted it. Where you wanted it is the main thing because it means more wire to be run and mounting the light or just letting it hang loose. You canjust splice it into the taillight wires or to the dimmer switch or to the dash lights or to the headlight switch or to one of the headlight power wires. Do you see what i'm getting at? I am gonna take a wild guess and say to wire it in with the output side of the headlight switch. You won't need to fuse it since 25Ma is smaller than any fused circuit in the vehicle and any short wil burn up the light instantly.
