OrangeBurst Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi! I'm retrofitting footwell LEDs. My car don't have footwells or sockets so I need to do some modifications. I'm taking the power from cigarette light (is that right), so the LEds would be on when doors are open, right? I've found couple of wires, I don't know what they are for.. This socket is behind the glowe box, don't go anywhere.. And this red wire here, I doubt it's not original from Ford, or is it? What are these other wires?

Jonro2009 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The cigarette light? I would be using the centre courtesy light, and run the wire under the headliner then down the a pillar. I did this in a previous car and was able to wire them this way and also to the map reading light so that I could turn them on without opening the door, in case I wanted to find something Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeBurst Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Actually I did it just like Jonro2009, I don't have the map reading light, but it will work pretty much same way.. From door and button operated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
