Looks sh!t!! Said it before if a car doesn't come with running lights don't add them u just end up looking like the polish bellends that put then on there 20 ur old passats and bmw's!!

That's your opinion !!

[damien010685]

Indeed

I've got to say that I agree, they scream chav to me

However if that is what you want to do then go for it, just splice into the side light wiring.

Cheers Dom I'm only going to use them for now untill I buy new headlights with them fitted if I don't like them once fitted ill just take them out

What's the easiest way to get access to the sidelight wiring or failing that how would they get wired to come on when the ignition is switched on ?

Take the headlights out, follow the wires back from the side light until you find a length of wire long enough to cut and strip them fit a connector block. Run an extra wire from each connector block down to the LED's, remember that LED's only work one way so make sure that you get the +ve and -ve wires the right way round.

Cheers for that do you know what colour wires they are ? Sorry to seem dim but not what you would call clued up on this kinda thing ?

Or how do they wire up to the ignition

[dom]

Pretty sure brown is -ve.

Don't mess around with ignition wiring, it's much easier to do it closer to where the lights are going.

to wire it so it comes on when the ignition comes on you would need to put in some sort of relay and use a switch signal from the ignition, bit of a chew on, if i were you id just wire them into the side lights, then when you realise they look chavy and cheep you can take them out easily and its only cost you the price of the lights

Ill try the sidelight then am I best getting scotch connectors ? Also where is the best place to find an earth under the bonnet
