ok so am gonna venture in installing LED under the dashboard on both driver and passenger side, now i got the switch, LED lights, gonna pick up the wire locally and fuse so my question is, what type of fuse should i use?? cause i have no idea when it comes to fuse, and also the gauge of the wire, i was thinking 16 gauge will do or is that too excessive?

and if anyone could provide me with some tips feel free too cause i will need as much tips as i can, LMAO

You could just tap into the existing lights that are under there...

well i read up some guides and some ppl say that its not good to tap into existing wire as it could cause it to overheat and melt the wire, not sure how true this is so thats why am going with the safer router of connecting to my battery.

led bulbs use way less power compared to filament bulbs... you would even notice that the heat from LEDs is way less than filament bulbs... you should be fine tapping the other lighting wires IMO... good luck...

You don't have to worry about that. The person above me already gave a good explanation of why it won't. I've had mine for about a year and a half now without any issues. You don't need any special tricks. Just buy an empty 194 socket and your good to go:
