Hey Guys,
I'm going to be adding some LED Lights along my Running Boards of my truck and I was just going to tap all 6 off of oneside of the corner lights. Anybody have any thoughts?
Or Should I Wire 3 off of oneside corner lights and the other off the otherside????
Let me know your thoughts. I'm just worried about tripping the fuse by adding lights but, I don't think that they draw all that much.
Cheers
Evan
:confused:

I wouldn´t worry the least bit, each LED draws 20mili-Amps, I would take a 600 ohm resistor and paralell it to the LEDs, don´t put them in series or each LED will look dimmer than the one next to it

that is the way I did mine. I wired the passenger side (8 LED) to the Drivers side (8 LED), then one single wire to the cornering light on the drivers side.

I thought about taping each side indiviually, but to the turn signals so they would flash when the turn signals were on, but a friendly police officer (Indiana State Police) advised me that it wasn't such a great idea.

Cool thanks guys. I'll test wire it off the truck first to make sure they are all the same intensity. The lights are a sealed kit and have two LEDS inside each housing so, I'm hoping they don't lose in intensity.
These are the lights:

I'll post pics when I'm done the install. Besides my signature needs a new updated pic of the truck anyways. :P

If you put a resistor in parallel to the lights, it will have no effect, you will not stop any voltage. If you need a resistor, put it in series (like an in-line fuse) with the power. Then wire each light in parallel after the resistor. Each light will glow the same with this setup.

If you want a generic picture of what I'm talking about, let me know.

I need to update my sig picture w/one with a whoppin dent in the door!

Dents BAD Smooth GOOD

:D

Sorry, meant to say put the resistor in series, with all the leds in paralell

I have to get everyone a pic as well.... I just got my white LED's in the mail for my drl's, turn signals, and parking lights. Ill put them in over the weekend. I also got new "angel eye" halo's on my projector headlights....they look sweet...i hope the led's turn out good.
