Interior footwell lighting

gers · 7th October 2007, 15:31

Iwas reading somewhere on here about wiring some leds for the footwell area using the glove box light as the power source, it seemed prety simple enough just connect the 2 led red wires to the live side and the black ones to the earth side , is it this simple and is it safe to do it this way, as I have also read about resistors and stuff ,that really confused me , can someone help, Thanks in advance,....Gers

Always get a bit worried though, about adding electrical things on, as it may effect the warranty.
