turned out to be a fault with the transformer, grabbed another set and it was fine...
Just out of curiosity, how much would i be able to tap into it... because i want to put 4x neons and 2x leds strips... would that be an overkill and cause damage to my car?
Yeah make sure you got the polarity the right way around. Try it both ways. If not then you need to make sure that you still got the voltage controller box on the neon still.Quote:

Very nice mate! Love it =)
so is the power to the dome lights 12V? Therefore, if I buy anything that requires 12V, I can tap it into the dome lights? (for dimming effect that is) =)
Anyone know where to plug the strips into for a civic FD1?
Would love to know the answer to this as well.Quote:

I was thinking of running an led strip for front left and right as well as back left and right, and also 2 longer LED strips on the underbody of the car. So when I press the remote unlock, the underbody will shine and turn off when I start up the car. =) Woot!
Here is a picture of my fuse. Can someone tell me which wire do I need to tap into for the dome lights, so I can get the fading effect for my accent lighting?

Thanks in advance.
I think the fuse can take quite allot of those LED strips/neons. It doesn't consume allot of power, well not enough to cause too much strain on the wires. But if you're scared of the fuse blowing, then just up it by 10A. The wires should be fine to take it.Quote:

Best way is to find out where the cables from the dome light lead to on your fuse box. If you can trace it back to the fuse box you should be able to see where the plug is. If not then you'd have to get wire tappers and tap straight into the wires leading to the dome light.
Hope that helps. but i tend to know what to look for, thats why i can find it pretty easy.
I managed to hook up 2x neons under the footwell 2x led strips under then doors and 2x neons under the car without any problems. I don't think i would be brave enough to try anymoreQuote:

Just attempted the DIY and failed miserably, lights just constantly stayed on :o
From another post, someone mentioned that you can buy a fuse tap to tap into the fuse box.Quote:
