Default Re: Installing a resistor on the Map Lights Need Help!

I installed dim red LED's in the footwells and behind the seats. I wired them all to the doorswitch via the wires in the passenger (U.S.) A pillar. I made a twisted pair of 16 awg and pulled one pair all the way across the front overhead (I have a roadster) and down the driver's A pillar for the drivers footwell. I couldn't find an easy way to poke wires across under the dash. And it was easier to do it this way alone.

The panel mount is on all of the time. (Ignition on, of course!) I stole power for that and the hardwire radar detector from the HomeLink harness.

I seem to be having some computer problems. I'll post a couple of pics soon.

Footwells and center wash.

All lit up-door open.

Center wash only (Night Driving)
