I'm back after a long hiatus...
A couple weeks ago a buddy of mine helped me install a LED light strip under the dash for night driving. They are just some red LEDs on a light strip with 3M double stick tape on the back, of which didn't stick worth a crap to the plastic. I ended up having to use a combination of other double stick craft foam and super glue...
The lights are wired from the side marker lights in the fuse panel to its own switch under the dash. We decided to wire them that way so that as long as my lights are off, so are the LEDs no matter if the LED switch is on or off (since I disabled my DRL and automatic headlights). Gives the cabin a different atmosphere at night for sure.

Looks good man.

 

Looks good. Where did you get your LED light strip? Planning to do the same mod but with blue or white light.

 

I didn't actually order them, my buddy did because we wanted to do both my Blazer and his '76 Chevy. I'm assuming he ordered them off of ebay or something. I know lightingever.com has LED strips that are fairly cheap, could give them a look too I suppose

 

https://www.superbrightleds.com/ is a good site

 

Superbrightleds is a little expensive, but I still have pretty much every led that I ordered from them (minus the ones that left with the blazer) and they all still work perfectly. Including ones just hanging under my bike exposed to the elements and everything, instrument cluster leds that aren't meant for outdoors either.

 

Please help... I got a pair like these from walmart. maybe $20-30 bucks. no biggie.. but I thought I'd wire them to the fuse box and attach them to the headlight fuse, so when I turn on my lights at night the lights will come on. But when I pull the fuse, ONLY the beeping sound goes off, not the lights. So my question is how best to wire these for a novice? because if the headlights won't turn off by removing the fuse I don't know where to attach the power. ty

 

I'd wire them to the interior light plugs under the dash, or to a switch.

 

Yup, I would wire them to the interior plugs under the dash, or get a add-a-fuse and hook it up to a fuse that is 12v constant with the ignition on and have that wired into a switch that is mounted on the dash.

 

thanks. I was really hoping to have it connected to my headlights when i turn them on, i guess my fuse box is messed up.
