Just run an illuminated ignition ring to dome light..was gonna tap into it with some led strips..how many strips could I safely use ?



If you're using an LED in the dome light, a good 10 strips of 0.2 amp

No led in the dome light..just wanted some in footwells

So you're just using a regular filament bulb in the dome light?

In all honestly, it depends on the cable you Use. If you put a 5 amp fuse in and add the LEDs you'll be good till the fuse blows. Then you know you're at the maximum.

It the horn and interior light share a fuse then just go to the next closest fuse up

That's what I did with mine.. I ran an LED bulb then 2 metres of led strip cut into 4 for each footwell and it was fine. Still faded smoothly too
