Re: Custom Lighting

I have some of those red led bolts that are for courtesy lights. I can wire them in and there on all the time. how would i wire it so there only on when my headlights are on? I plan on mounting them to underside of my dash.

Re: Custom Lighting

I'd just wire them into their own switch like my mood lights under my dash. I can draw you a diagram or get a pic if you'd like.

Re: Custom Lighting

If you want them on with the head/dash lights then just wire them in to the green wire on the headlight switch.

I think that would work better, cause i kinda dont wanna have to flip an extra switch to turn them on. green is the correct one? and thanks scoot, but i think ill do it this way.

Re: Custom Lighting







My pick up was muddy, My door wasn't shut, and I was at my grandparents house bored out of my mind. The pictures pretty much suck, but it shows the general idea.

It was put on by the PO, but I'm sure it one out of LMC Truck. The guy I bought it from used to work for them, he claimed.

Re: Custom Lighting

i wanted to do 6 of these on the roof,till i saw a light rack get ripped off in the bush,went for the 4 on the front instead (as not to cover the turn signals)i call them my deer lights,not off road lights cause you can't use off road lights on the street

clear lights just inside rears windows and fancy domes were installed during conversion "by Vacation Customs"
i just changed the bulbs for christmas
