Hi guys,
Firstly I have an 05 accord euro. I have a subwoofer in my boot and some EL wire which I wish to put around the circumference of the sub. I want to connect the EL wire to the boot light so that it comes on at the same time you open to boot, however, if I tap into the wires on the boot light connector, the wire does not come on. I understand there is a resistor located in in the actual light assembly itself, is this why the light isn't coming on when tapping directly into the actual connector? i.e do I need a resistor?
Down to the point, could anybody suggest a way to allow this wire to light up at the same the boot light comes on? I have tested this wire by connecting directly to the battery and it works, I'm assuming I need to tap into constant 12V power source?
Thanks guys
