Topic: LED cup holder help!!!

[saintmaniac]

All hooked up....I need a source for the power.  I would like the wire that turns on the dash lights when it is dark.  I hooked up the footwell entry lights, but that wire only comes on when the doors open.  I would like the cup holder lights to stay on at night.

I have it all apart now and I am at a standstill...

 I'm sure someone will chime in on how to do that...but....



I'm planning something like this myself - I would like to use a couple of plasma lights I have.

pretty simple.  I just don't know what wire to tap into.  I have already messed up my blue tooth connection by tapping into that wire... :

I'll try to find an answer in a little bit. Jut got home from work.

Post some pictures of what you have for the cup holders.  I did speakers in my boat and want to do the cup holders.   Thanks!

I do have a bluetooth system installed under the cup holder already.  Any idea what the power wire would look like for that?  I tried the 12V red wire from the radio, but that keeps the light on all the time.

But as as I said before, if it can come on when the dash lights come on....that is what I really want.

Sorry man, Life's been hectic. I will try to dig something up in the next few days.

I'm thinking of maybe tying into the AC/Heater controls since these lights come on when dark.  So maybe start there, I am trying to google a wiring diagram for that.

should be a wire in the BCM harness right under the dash. I'm getting ready for work again  so I don't have time to dig through the pix.

Cool, I appreciate the help.  I will post a tutorial on this once i am finished.  It's a very simple mod once we find the connections.
