Dont mean to threadjack, but i was thinking of doing something similar. would it big a big deal if i ran like a 5 led strip off of each one of my amps so that when they turn on, the led's turn on with it? it seems like a viable option that wont affect blowing any fuses or anything. just might make it easier than tapping into parking lights and whatnot

any opinions?

 

Yes tapping into the amps remote wire will work as a switch for the lights i had a setup like that in an old truck i had. i had a neon mounted behind the amp that was lit when the amp was on. that is how i did it and it worked great had it like that for quite a few years.

 

forgot i had these until i read this thread... my only issue is that the reflection in the side windows is right where my mirrors are

cant see the tube like you can in the pic though

 

Seriously, you should make a write up on it.

 

me? on which led job?

 

bump for answer.. ^^^^^^^^

 

Would you just be able to splice into the domelight wires or will it not work without soldering the resistors in?

 

i simply have mine on a wireless remote switch it has 4 channels and got it at pepboys for 30 bucks plus it cleans up allot of wires and my fogs are also on the switch and on a seperate channel i take the remote with me when i fish at night i can see where the gators are 0_o

 

That's what my setup looked like, except you couldn't see the tubes at all

 

No - use transistors on the door switch. Is it me your even asking though?

 

Yes Jp7.

 

lol it just got personal lol j/k

 

I didn't know what you guys wanted!.

I'll try and put something together so you can understand how to use transistors to fire leds.

 

Heres mine one on each side under dash , one on each rear inside of cab. Cell phone pics not the best dont know how to turn the flash off on my digital. the front and rear are each on a different switch because when the all on pretty bright lol they are 12" blue led strips, amp light is blue as are the capacitor lights and cell phone charger. half of the radio is set to blue other side green to match the dash lights and the left switch for the rear leds.
