Finally finished LEDS - cupholders, console, and bed lights

Thanks for that pic as well. I am in the middle of this mod now....well not right now, im at work, but when i get home I'm going to finish. I just noticed my rocker switch only has two posts on it. it doesn't seem to have a ground. What should I do?



**edit, nevermind, i fingered it out.

 

I had some white surface mount LEDs in my truck, but they where too bright for leaving on all the time - more just cab lighting because my dome light is inoperable - thanks to your write up, I managed to install some in my cupholders and armrests as well... the question for me was mounting, but your thread here helped me figure that out... I won't crowd this thread out with pics... they are in my build thread linked in my signature...

 

I'm still kinda confused how you hook up the LEDs. Can you completely explain to me? PM. Thanks. And I have the seat and dash lights. I just need to know exactly how to hook up other interior lights. How to wire
EDIT: well the picture helped. I just need to know exactly what to use so I don't blow a fuse or something. And how did you hook it to the battery?

 

Glad you fingered her out. Post pics when done.

 

I love this setup btw

 

DERP! I figured out that I can put videos in my photobucket account. Dumbass me, I could of put up vids along time ago. I didn't want my shit on Youtube so that's why I never put em up on there!

Anyhow - my led scanner i did a year or so ago.

I called it my Rice Rice baby.....mod!! Now vanilla ice is stuck in yer head ain't it

 

Hey bro, I was wondering if i could get a pic of how you hooked up the wiring to your + and - terminals. I have my cupholder and floor LEDs in and it looks great with the 9volt battery tester, just need to connect it all up right and i'll post pics.


thanks


also, under body kit is on the way, lol

 

Body kit....Awesome!


Heres some pics....

I used two of these to put the positive and the negative wire into...



Then put the negative one under this 10mm bolt



Then the positive one under the bolt on the positive terminal

 

you sir kick ass and lots of it. whats your favorite twelve pack, cuz im buying you one!

i should have pics up after easter, once this whole thing is finished.

 

Can't wait for the pics!!!

 

How did you end up wiring your bed lights? with the spool of LEDs?

 

Yeah. The writeup is a few pages back. They work AMAZING by the way. So much light back there. Wish i would of done it years ago.

Ran the wires from the battery to the remote control box, then ran those wires under the truck , tucked wires in the frame, ran it up the rear to the hole in the bedside right behind the railing and into the spool of LEDS's.

 

well here is the body kit for now. I have to finish running power wire for the inside ones, then i'll get pics of those. I am going to wire my bed lights with a single pole double throw switch and run it like a dome light. Pics when that is done as well....

 

SHIT YEAH BUDDY ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Nice job.

I can't wait for the "oh fuck that's so rice", "you got a piece of shit ricer now" comments from the Douche Crew on these forums......


......I actually love the fuckface comments..makes me laugh and know that none of those idiots will have the same shit I have on my truck

Looks great!

 

lol /\

Yeah i all ready ran out an bought Fast n Furious on blue ray, lol.

Yeah, fuck the internet anyway. I didn't put the lights on it to impress the 'nets.

I do like the forums cause I can learn tons more than I could through hanging out at a garage or trial and error.

Besides, rice isnt that bad. And when china takes over america, they will see me as one of their own and spare me. lol.

 

LOFL.....X 2 on all that!!!

 

did you cut and re-wire them as they went around the truck?

 

Nope.

I attached the sticky side of the LEDS to the sticky side of the velcro.

Then i stuck the other (furry side) of the velcro up under the Tacoma railing.

Then I put the velcro that the LEDS are attached to , and velcroed them (starting at the end where the wiring came out of the bed hole) up to the
furry side velcro around the railing.

Then when I got to the other end of the railing, I cut the LEDS off at the nearest cut line.

Worked flawlessly.

 

when making the bends around the inside of the bed, i covered the exposed LEDS with black electrical tape so they dont light up the corners. only under the bed rails. looks decent.
