i know this isnt car audio. but i wasnt sure where else to ask?

i have quite a few 12volt leds w/ housings i plan to run around in my car, but i dont know where i should wire them too.. if need be, i can run the lights through a switch.. but i would rather not.

2000 grand am... red led's ( to match the gauge cluster of course!)

oh lols.

are you wanting them to turn on and off when the car does?

if so you can run them off your head units switch on/off wire.

its the switch 12 volt one. your wiring has a 12v constant, ground, 12 volt switch. if you just want to run a new one your cigarette lighter wiring is usually a 12 volt switch.

the remote is also a 12 volt switch but its power handling is limited by the head unit i think so wiring lights to it wouldn't work.
