adding interior lights


Recommended Posts

i'm planning on adding a 4 gang LED light set (12 volt, of course) that would be mounted right under the compartment ahead of the shifter. the lights would shine down into that area. i tried them out, using the lighter as a source of power and they seem to illuminate exactly like i want. we need to see down there when it's dark out and not fumble around for things.

 

i had originally planned on wiring them up to the lighter, but i found out the lighter plug is always HOT. i want them to only come on when the ignition is on.

 

so, my questions are these:

 

is it hard to remove the side panels on the console? hopefully this would give me perfect access back there.

 

what wire would be available to tie into? these LED lights have a very low amp draw so i'm not concerned about draining excessive power. i just need a lead that gets HOT when the ignition is turned to ON.
