Hey guys,

I am planing to do some LED lighting in my Celica tomorrow (currently 12AM in New Zealand at the moment lol)
I have 30cm red led strips to put underneath the dash board to light up the footwells.
In my Celica, there seems to already be foot well lights there... Stock Toyota ones, which do not go. They did when i first bought the car 6 months ago, but have since stopped. They weren't very bright.
I was planning on wiring them into the pre-existing wiring for these lights, but as they don't run i need to find a way of getting them working again.
Has anyone had this issue? Or know where these wires run so i can see if the wires damaged, unpluged or a fuse is blown? Please biggrin.gif
Otherwise i will just pull the door panel off, and run them off the courtesy lights.


Cheers, Liam.

Sweet!

I've pulled it all to bits, and i have tested both terminal sockets for the bulbs with a voltimeter. I get 11.5ish volts, but the lights do not run. When i soldered on the new LEDs to the terminal on the left hand side light, it again will not run but it has voltage...

What do i do now :S
