wassup everyone... i posted this question in the Interior/Audio/Security section and a couple of my questions didnt get answered so i thought i'd bring this topic here... here's the situation:
i bought a while ago a knight rider light (dont laugh... its my car) and ive been meaning to install it... i was gonna have it installed the same time i get my system hooked up... but they way it looks... the system ain't coming for a while... so i decided to do it myself... in the I/A/S forum crxlvr suggest to roll back the passenger side carpet so i can get to the firewall... and i did that, but there was nothing under the carpet... so i looked around that area and i found this:
u see where there is a large bundle of wires going into a grommet (i guess thats what u call it), does that lead to the engine bay??? i looked under the hood to see where it would come out and i think it comes out right behind the battery... i didnt wanna cut into the grommet and it doesnt go where i need it to...
i was also advised that i should just tap into a 12v source in the in-cabin fuses... say the parking lights... my question is... do i have to?? i was looking at the owners manual (not the greatest source of information... but it was helpful in this case... i cant wait to get my helms manual) and it says that there are unused fuses... i was thinking y not tap into there??? would that work??? what size fuse should i get if im able to do that??? im guessin 10A since the 'accessory socket' is 12v and it said it has a 10A fuse...
ok... if tapping the unused fuse is ill-advised... what should i tap into??? im just a lil worried that i'll get an electrical problem like i turn on my headlights and my doors unlock...
and finally... where is the nearest ground on the passenger side??? one of the wires on the control box needs to be grounded...
i just wanted to thank everyone ahead of time for their input... ive been meanin to do this for a while... i actually bought this before i bought my type-R grill... i bought the grill to accomodate the light.. LOL... so i really wanna do this... i think it would look pretty hot... i can control the speed of the lights flashin back and forth... and u can definitly see it... the light spans the whole grill... LOL... thanks again... i'll post pics when im done... i'll also take pics step by step if any one else wants to do this too...
