Over the weekend I decided to install angel eyes with 4 LED's. I also wanted to run 2 additional LEDS for my top grill. So I ran a 18 gauge wire from the battery to a 30 amp illuminated switch. I also spliced into this wire to power my 2 dash neons which were orginally running off the cig lighter. I then ran the wire coming from the "Load" part of the switch back through the firewall into the engine bay around the front of the car. I installed the 2 LEDs in the grill first by splicing into the wire and then made a ground connection. These LEDS worked fine. I then did the angel eyes and tryed to splice into the same wire. The wire had no power yet the LEDS in my grill were lit up. I checked it with a test light and the line still wasnt hot. The angel eye works fine when I hook it up to the positive terminal. Why does this line have no power coming from the switch. Could the 2 neons tubes be drawing all the power? Is the wire too small or is the ground from the 2 LED's in the grill drawing all the current?? Any help would be appreciated, I'm puzzled. Thanks
