that's a bit big i prefer flush mount switches makes it look so much cleaner and sometimes it may even look stock
hey thanks for letting me know. Radio shack has this one you posted so im going to go pick it up. Make it look close to stock. Anybody know the best way to wire up the switch.
same switch i got for my foglights
on mine there is 3 prongs that are coming off of it
prong 1 goes to a fuse tap
prong 2 goes to the fogs ( in your case the LED's)
and 3rd prong goes to a ground ( i found a nice ground under the dash where the ebrake is)
hey,
I would like to use a mini-add-in-circuit like the one below. I see #20 for sunroof is there and i don't have a sunroof so thinking i could use that or even any of the empty slots. What size fuse should i use for the mini-add-in-circuit.

well whats the amp rating per led. should only be .5 of an amp or less. so if you got 10 led's in each i wouldn't go higher then a 10amp fuse. try out a 7.5 first though
nah i have 12 leds in each headlight x 2 = 24. They are rated at 0.5 watts each. So that would be a 12 watts which then needs to be converted to amps.

So you need a 15amp fuse. Or that's my guess. If it blows that try a 20. Etc. But if you get to 30 and are still blowing em something is wrong.
ok let me keep on checking and find out.

Amps = Watts/Volts
so for example if each led is 0.5 watt each x 24 (12 leds in each headlight) = 12 watts/12 volt (car) = 1 amp
So can i just remove the sunroof 15 fuse, replace that with a blown fuse and add a 2 amp fuse for the leds. I think this would work with the add-a-fuse.

how's the lights coming? almost rdy for install? they look sick man can't wait to see em installed!!!
Yeah i think i have the wiring figured out and going to do the project this weekend. The lights have been sealed and been sitting all week. I have picked up the add-a-circuit, lighted switch, 3 amp fuses, 16 guage wiring. Fuses 21 and 22 are hot to when the car is turned on so i can use any of those too. I am going to use one of those with my 3 amp fuse and will be fine.
Here is a picture that i think will work.

yup and got my cobalt turbo charged shocks/struts installed today and i had two blown stock struts from my eibachs.
Lights have been installed and work perfect with the 3 amp fuse on fuse number 21 above the sunroof fuse. I took pics yesterday but need to find the cable for my camera to upload them. The illuminated switch lights up too when the lights are on. You can see the leds from a distance back easily.
