How to Install LED Lights?
Measure the length where you want to install the LED strip lights. Read the instructions given by the manufacturer and cut the desired length of the LED strip.
Separate the strip sheets to expose the wires. Determine the closest circuit to connect the LED strip with. Remember that the on/off time of LED strip lights depends on the circuit you give to them. For example, if you connect the strip lights with the headlights, then the strip lights will turn on only when you turn the headlights on.
You need to provide correct voltage to the lights; therefore check the voltage of the decided circuit wires. Remove the fuse of the circuit, and connect a splitter to the fuse.
Connect the exposed wires of the strip into the splitter. After closing it, wrap the exposing wires with electrical tape.
Decide the place you want to decorate with LED strip lights and route the wires to the decided place. It is better to route it under the carpets to keep it hidden.
Stick the lights to the decided area with adhesive glue. When the glued strip dries off, turn the circuit source on and check the result of your experiment.
This is the simplest way to install LED strip lights on any part of your vehicle.
