Circuit wiring for LEd's

well, as you would all know by now, im going to be putting LEd strips into my headlights. :roll:
i was going to start/finnish it saturday/sunday, but i got really bored this arvo, n my car "needed" some attension :lol:

so i went out into the garage, popped the hood, and decided i'd do the wiring of the circuit, to save time n effort for when i put the LED's into the headlights, n want them to SHINE right away. so this way, i can test em out straight away :)

i got some spare electrical wire and led some from next to my battery, through to the back of the engine compartment, and fed the wire through to the inside of the dash with the rest of the pipping n wires going in there. :p

pulled it through, to find it wan long enough to reach all the way to the drivers side under-dash area. so i put a joiner on it, and continued the wire weaving under n through my dash till i got to my switch, where i remvoed the existing Positive+ wires, and soldered the new wire to that bunch, and re-attached the Positive+ wires back into the joiner next to the switch.
then i did the same for the Negative- wires. :thumbup:

i pulled all the slack through and used good old zip ties to hold em up outta the way:)

to finnish off my nights work, i attached the 2 LED strips onto the end of the wires next to the battery. (((these will later be used to connect up the LED's from inside the headlights, to the already existing LED/Neon circuit :thumbup: )))) i then turned on the circuit, n to my happyness, the LED's + my neons n all came on :roll: :lol: :D FEWF!!!

so yeh, i think 2moro arvo/night ill be doing the whole opening, attaching, and closing of the headlights. and hopefully finnishing the project off : :thumbup: FINALY :yawn:

And then friday rims :cool:
 
just for us? really??? :O

that little tapped up wire, will be used 2moro night :)
 
cool stuff, prolly should have used auto flexi conduit if they are going thru ur engine bay
but its not like i did the first time i wired mine, just remember for next time
and u just gotta love spade connectors ^^

last question, is it fused?
 
second lastpic, is it zip tied to you steering colum??
 
yes it is zipped to the steering collum, but that part dosnt move at all, so its fine dw, had this chat to others on a dif site.

and yes its fused.
 
well, spent a bit of time in the garage this arvo/tonight.

mannaged to take appart my passenger side headlight no troubles, get the LED to stay in the spot i want... and then re- attach it all back together :)

tested the LED's in my circuit and they work fine, so very happy.

one light down, one light to go!!!

to take the light appart, take these 2 screws out before heatting in oven on 100 degrees for 5minutes.

be quick, but careful, as the silicon hardens up FAST!

these are the 2 screws u remove tot ake the front part out of the headlights plastic area. once i removed these, i fixed my LED's into the spot i wanted, then put this back in n screwed it up tight, holding it all together nicely :)
 
good stuff, glad its fused otherwise you may not have a car for long :p
(spark and burns... the whole car out)
