In the trunk of my 95 gle theres a small dome light. I was thinking I could splice into its power wire to run a strip of ebay LEDS? Just want a little lighting to match my amps. If anyone has any experience with installing trunk LEDS I would really appreciate some tips.

 

Ive done it. Youve got the right idea.

 

Easiest way imo is to get yourself a SMD LED panel for the trunk light itself with the T10 adapter and wire it in that way...

 

what hes said...i got a 48 smd panel in there and it lights up prefectly

 

And if you want the led strips, its a whole lot easier to splice into the wires than stock.

 

Did you use the wiring from the trunk light to power it?

 

SMD panels

comes with a T10 plug adapter. You simply remove the bulb and plug the adapter in to the socket (if it doesnt work, simply unplug..rotate the adapter 180* and reinsert [the plug is polarized and will only work one way])

 

@tigersharkdude, would you be kind enough to see if you could find those for me on amazon real quick? I can't seem to find

 

Scratch that, found them

 

Ebay>Amazon



Ive bout well over 20 panels for myself and various buddies. Ive never had a single problem

 

dirt cheap on ebay...just give some time to ship from japan..and exactly what he said about the polarity, ir plugs right into where to bulb goes

 

Cheap in deed. $3 on ebay..... And I cant even find any 48smd panels on amazon (only the ones that are domed [had that style in my license plate lights.....individual lights were going out in each bulb within a week)

Sure, it might take 2-3 weeks to get here from china, but $7 in your pocket is $7 saved

 

eBay>amazon , agreed. But I only have PayPal

 

ebay takes paypal.............


amazon does not

 

Or if you want something PnP there's a kit on racingline.ca that is 2 LED strips tied into a t10 plug. I'm currently running it in my 2g Altima.

 

You know what I mentt!!! Hahaha whoops, long day -__-

 

Thanks, I was a little confused about how the adapter worked. I ordered a blue panel for 2.89 w/ free shipping. Can't beat that

After hooking it up to that dome light will it stay lit continuously? If I'm not mistaken that light comes on when I brake or when the trunk lid is open.
