Interior LED underseat light installation?
I bought these interior LED lights http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi... for my 2006 honda civic ex coupe and I have no idea how to install them. I looked under my dashboard and I do see a bunch of wires. I'm probably gonna connect my LED lights to one of those wires. Problem is that the LED wires have a red and black which are positive and negative I assume.
How should I install these lights? Do I need a special tool to see which way the current in the wires in my car is moving? The wires under my car are multicolored so I dont know which one to use.

Hi. These lights are very easy to install.
But I would recommend getting someone to do it for you and teach you.
The NR 1 thing to think about is having a small amp somewhere on the way ( as close to the source as possible ) and preferably a switch.
NR 2 thing is doing this so you wont see wires everywhere , like putting them under a carpet or something.
Use the proper plugs and stuff.
Nothing cool about a led light that doesn't work :)
Don't let anyone twist the vires and stuff. This is almost a new car. Do this properly ! U wont regret it :)

PS: If I were putting a led light or neon in my car I wouldn't connect it to the battery. I would connect it to a acc wire , that way it turns off when you turn your ignition all the way off. The switch is just so you have a choice to turn off the lights when you are driving , the acc is good - that way you can't forget to turn the neon off during the day. ( Not good for battery for a long time )
If you insist in doing this yourself I can post step by step directions for you , but I don't recommend it.
I Hope I was some help :)

you could just take the little that lights up your feet when you have the door open, cut the wire, tie it in to the red wire on the light kit, then put your black wire stripped under any nut you loosen on the body(scrape the paint off inbetween the nut and body for a better connection). -OR- if you want it on when ever you want then just get your self a inline fuse and hook a wire straight from your positive on the battery to the inline fuse then send a wire from the fuse threw your fire wall next to the steering colemn attach that to a $1.50 switch of you liking then hook that to the red wire on your light kit then hook the black wire on the light kit to a common ground(like under a bolt that is metal to metal<body bolt>)
