Preee Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The best and easist solution is to bring a wire down from the interior light along the roof lining and down the side of the screen , then find a sutable earth point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitt008 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 that sounds like to much faffing around tho lol. ive seen 1 guide wireing it up to the side light switch by the stering wheel but im not sure if that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side light ? , if you wire it to there then they will be on when the lights are turned on. You will soon get tired of having bright LED's on while your driving.

Preee Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You could wire it too the light switch and include a switch , the switch can be any where you want to place it , either center console or by the steering rack. Where are you placing the LED's in the footwells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitt008 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 yea in the footwells at the front. but just need to know 100% what i need to do to make sure its right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Anywhere you see illumination on your dash is a possible location to join into. The kits has everything you need by the looks of it. A 12v tester will find a live feed for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitt008 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 12v feed?? where will i find one of those sorry lol newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You can get a 12v side light feed from the rear of the heater controls and radio , but wire colour i don't know on a Fiesta , but if you have a 12v tester it will be easy to find.
