ok, check it.

I want to send 2 bulbs to a switch, alright?

each bulb has a housing that has a black and a red wire coming from it
each housing comes with a little red amp thing (really small.. size of a quarter). The amp has a metal thing in the middle with 2 slots in it.
Now I want this to go to a switch that has 4 metal prongs in the bottom.
It lights up red when off green when on... I want to know step by step how to connect this crap.
Where do I get the power from/how do I do this, etc.

someone please help me.. the only instructions I have are in japanese.. so i dont even know if they are instructions...

thanks in advance..


:D :coolguy:

OK, mate, let's see if we can help you...

Do you have a digital camera? If so, please take pictures and post them here.

Are the bulbs really bulbs or leds? If they are bulbs, it doesn't matter which wire you connect to the + and which to the - (aka ground). If leds - it's more complicated. But I guess these are bulbs

Now what you need is use the switch to "break" one of these wires. I would suggest breaking the ground one. But it might depend...

Now, what also matters is the way the lights inside the switch function. hence I need the pictures (and a scan of the instructions)

Do you want the lights to come on together? And what a re the lights for anyway? Are they 12V for your car?

Now please try to answer every question here, and I might be able to help you. It's not easy helping with wiring over the internet :)

P.S. there are some members here who can read japanese...

aight.. I'll get pictures and let you know... thanks :D
