How to wire a LED in the cig. lighter.

[Salincer]

As title says. Last time i tried to put one in it, i was testing the voltage and i blew the mosfet in my guage cluster. So has anyone did this? Or point me in a direction?
Or do you know if toyota sells the orange bulbs?

I checked his website, but i dont believe he has orange because thats stock for 03-05

Well, i just done this thanks to 2way.
I pushed the wires up the harness, and cut off the excess metal. And simply soldered him in
Green wire (power)-->470ohm resitor>LED(positive to resistor)> red and black wire
Then pulled it back down into what the right spot.

But of corse, all the light doesnt reach the other side. So im thinking about drilling a hole in the lower trim (opposite side of led) so it will reach the other side.

i have about 13 led lights plugged into my cig lighter.... sometimes it drains alot of voltage from the car but in my opinion its worth it.


"no led's in the car, aint going very far."
