    Led third brake light All bulbs changed to LED Blue... Bed cover Extra tie downs in bed Borla 3' aftermarket excuast Blacked out front grill Smoked front lights White turn/running lights Bed security Mod 2 inch front lift and level with bilstein front and rear shocks... 1 Inch wheel spacers BF Goodrich AT tires 270/75/17
    I purchased
    5 x Prewired Superflux 4 Chip LEDs - Blue
    1 x Round Rocker Switch - Blue LED

    I would like to place the LEDs in the cup holders center console tray and in center console compartment with the rocker switch above the aftermarket radio I have my question is.... The rocker switch came with three wires 1 black and 2 red the LEDs came with 1 red and 1 black. After putting the Leda where I want them what would be my wire setup? I also purchased a add a fuse to hook everything up to the power from the fuse box under that handy pull down change/candy holder. How do I connect all the Leds to run off one switch, how do I group them together to attach to the one wire comeing from the switch and then what wire goes to the add a fuse? Is the black wires the ground? This is my first electrical Mod as you can read I have no experience any help would be great!!!

    All the black wires go to ground. Red wires from LEDs go to the switch. Power from a keyed ignition source to the switch. Black from switch to ground. Switch should be marked for 12v in. If not, hook up the ground wire to the switch, and the 12v to one red wire. If the light on switch comes on, that is the wire that goes to LEDs. If the light does not come on, the that wire is for for power source.

    And maybe look up some of the mods on here, and some you tube videos about basic wiring.

    I am currently doing that how do I get all the LED wires to connect to each other to then connect to the red wire coming from switch. That's what I can not find grouping the five LEDs together to attach to the switch I would not think it would be that hard but I never wired anything everything online talks about wiring LEDs to a board my LEDs have black and red wires already coming from them. Connecting them altogether to the switch is the issue...

    You can Daisy chain the wires. Go from the switch to one of the LEDs, then to the next in line, etc. Basically you will need to use butt connectors and have LED wire on one side and two wires on other side. One from the switch, other wire to next Led, and repeat. And do the same with the black wires
