I have a rocker switch hidden in the small pocket under the cup holders.all the power is pulled from the battery with an in line fuse.for those of you who been keeping up with my stuff it started with unnder dash and seat lights,then dome light then pillars and now vents. The ones in the vents will fire straight up so the effect will be more of a glow instead of shining in your eye.ad I add more LEDs I just tie them in at the switch so all come on with one flip.the cool thing about them is that they hardly use any juice.

Run the wire behind the rubber seal down the door and into the dash where it ties to the switch.simple.I spent the most time really to get the distance between each light and allignment right.

low cost is the way to go. im tyring to find some low cost ones for my truck that no one els has around me. trying to make my truck stand out. but its getting cold out. so the low cost straight pipe is on hold.

just one question how did u get the power from the bat in to the cab is there a grommet that is easy to get to? or did you have to drill holes. and what gauge wire did you use? im not to savvy when it comes to wires.

Run the wire through the fire wall on the drivers side.there is a rubber grommet there.make sure to put an inline fuse.rule of thumb on wires ....bigger is better,but smaller is bigger.confused yet? Bigger number guage wire is smaller.Ex.... 20 ga.wire is a lot smaller than 8 ga.
