Default Switched / Ignition sourced 12V
Hi guys,

where can I find 12V source inside the cab, that only comes on when the truck is running or on accessory? I'm looking also for a source in the engine compartment.

Thx, promillo

Get an add a fuse and plug it into your radio fuse under the dash. Not sure about under your hood. You could just run a wire through the gromit in the firewall.

Its #8, 4th one up from the left, 5amp fuse. What kind of LED are you talking about?

#8 = permament?

LEDs from the PIAA 525s, I want to add an extra switch so I turn em on/off when ever I want...
