Stoney871 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 If you want it to come on permanently with headlights then wire it in parallel with a numberplate light. If you want it to only function with the brakes then wite to the third brake light. Small battery packs won't cut it, it needs to be car powered. I did this project on my old MK2 Focus- Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 It may power for a short while but the amperage load will kill the batteries pretty quickly.The logos are designed to run off car power and tbh any other way is not practical.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
