Default LED's in vents

okay, so i have just put LED's into my A/C vents, but i'm not too sure how to wire them to the battery. i mean i could do it the way i have always wired things, but it's aleays really messy, and i want this to look clean under the hood. any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks!

you can them wire them into seperate fuses, depending on when you want to work/come on. A manual will tell you which fuses work then, or you can use a voltmeter/multimeter to figure that out. I would wire to the fuse box over the battery any day.

ya fuse box.... i only wire stuff up to the battery if it pulls quite a bit of juice....
leds dont use much power at all! but like anything you add.... still be sure to add a inline fuse!!!

and i sugest the PREWIRED leds or PREWIRED superflux leds from oznium
http://www.oznium.com/prewired-superflux

the leds are decent BUT light is very directional... so youll see a circular shape... BUT with the superflux leds... the light is preaty even and still realy bright.
