Power source for indiglo......

[LEDmod]

I've haven't got good answer for this power source for indiglo...
From LarryD install... it got power from parking light... which I don't want to wire all that just for indiglo...
But I've tried the cig light(not the lighter) and it seems underpower... the gauge look dim... and just guessing.. it's not 12 volt.... so I just tap the power from cig lighter then sure is.... it's bright....
But I need the power when the headlight/parking light is ON....
I can't think of any place inside of the cabin that has enough juice and turn ON when the healight/parking light is ON..

One of the ideal I have is.. using relay...
Have relay that has cig lighter power input.. and have cig light as activator... so when cig light is ON then turn the cig lighter power output ON..
Anyone knows which relay to use?? and where to get it??
I'm starting to get to know little bit of electrical thing...

Help.. thanks..!!

Using the parking light circuit as the control circuit for a relay makes the most sense. That way you can wire and fuse for the current load that you need and just run really light gauge on your control circuit.

Where is the parking light circuit?? hope I can find it in cabin...
And how much amp is sufficient enough for fuse??

If you dont know these things then you really need to have someone else do this for you bud. No way am I going to participate in you burning your car down. Sorry - this is nothing personal.

Don't worry about itm it's cool. I'm not that dumb.. I'm pretty fast learner....
Just give me some detail.. not take you too long.. but blief...
I'm already trying to learn about the relay and stuff...
I just need some basic guide line...

If I make mistake it's totally my fault...

i hooked mine up to one of the relays in the fuse box.....if you look in at the box..there is a huge square relay...take it out and put it out of your way...the relay you want is a black one....right behind it....the top connector is the one to jump off of (only when parks are on) (big square relay is the instrument cluster relay )

Thanks... appreciated...
Hope I can find it.. ^^

if you feel inside there...its the relay that makes the click when you turn on the lights...

I tried that relay and couldn't get it to work. But then again, my gauges were being ghey and didn't seem to want to ground worth a damn.
