Andy-R. I'm going to do it the cheats way like Chris done his with cathode tubes, i'm far to lazy and far to much of a chicken to do it with LED's:laugh:
It's just as straight forward with LEDs mate, go for it!

There is also a small voltage drop across the diode ( 0.6v) which will prolong the life of the LEDs a little.
If you are putting the diode in the positve feed to the LEDs the end of the diode with the circle around it should point in the direction of the lights.

Cous3 Parthiban, you done this yet mate?
Nope, it's unbelievable but still haven't got round to it, as well as the exhaust trim I've had sitting in a box for a good few years now and countless other bits

IS200 Turbo project now just about complete ! See my thread here and leave your comments.
Now running standalone Syvecs ECU and no stock ECU !

Worst part is I occasionally find things that I had forgotten I'd even bought :laugh:

DJ Wozza Outstanding work/write up as usual Keith :thumbup:
I would suggest a quick blow fuse and a diode to stop any feedback current if a single LED fails in the strip
If the LED's you are fitting are like the LED strips members have been using for Lightbrows etc,
this is what I (and some other Outlaw Jap Club members) have been using for electrical safety.
Maplins
Diode - QL73Q
Fuse holder 20mm- PC78K
Fuse quick blow 20mm, 500mA - GJ85G
Obviously it is up to you if you want to use any of these components, and only do so if you are competent
@ electrics. The diode is for stopping any feedback currents, and I have been told by an electrical engineer
that is is a good move incase of strip failure (one LOC members set caught fire but may have being wired incorrectly).
Right im finally gonna fit these, been sitting around for ages, can i just confirm if you tap into the existing dome light wire, add the inline fuse/diode and then 'T' the wires for each of the footwell strips, or are both strips run independantly from the live with its own fune/diode??

Not sure on the diodes, but i'm sure Wozza will be able to tell you about that :thumbup1: I'd fuse both sides to be on the safe side

Lexus IS200 Sport Navigator (Now being stripped again) :blink:
Now Don't Forget The REP!!!
Better off taking the feed from the ignition barrel mate, they still fade out like the dome light, and its a lot easier to do

Oops was thinking of the ignition barrel, but typed dome:Fish:.......im still asleep at the moment
leep:leep:.......ok so id need to tap into the live at two different points?....Woz what did you do?
