Done!!
BUt now the LED would light on for 1 second and goes off for 2 seconds???
why is this happening... I tapped the wires to the foot light (under dash) and the voltmeter reads 5.xxx volts..
how do I fix this ... by the way, the same thing happens to my blue LED bulb that replaces the OEM bulb under dash.

It sounds as tho you may need a capacitor between the power and the LEDs to regulate down the voltage. You can get this at Radio Shack. They will tell you how to wire it as well. That should hopefully fix the issue.

i am no help when it comes to that lol, like i said i wired mine to the rear dome because i wanted the fade effect, the wiring was kind of a pain but i think it was worth it as the lights are always off when driving unless i turn the rear dome on,

i think the faint orange ish light in the feet is always on at night so that would bother me when driving with the bright blue leds

Okay I will try to wire a capacitor between LED bulbs
how much capacitance should I get to get 12V LED bulb working on 6V power source

clkwork

A capacitor won't work. You need to find 12V.

nias9527

is there any way to reduce the brightness of the LED so that it will run on 6V??

clkwork

Probably not, hard to say without looking at how the circuit is set up. For all practical purposes there's no way to do that. You can build/buy a boost regular to step up the 6V to 12V but I guarantee it will be a lot more work than just running a wire to 12V.

i have a question a little off topic,

if i bought these,

and tied them into the less i already have set up they ill work and look fine right?

i know there not the real thing but $80 compared to $700 i don't care lol

HI,notice,the black wire is anode,the red wire is negative electrode，connect the wire of LED strip light to your car battery,it will light up.......

If you have no clue on how to do it, DO NOT do it simple as that. Find someone who can do the install for you.

just fuse tap into the side lights so thay work alongside them I did this on my 645ci I put LED fogs with halo rings around outside that worked as day time running lights around outside of fogs when my OME angel eyes where on its a simple thing to do a fuse tap you may need a resonator to trick the cambus but most good LED strips have them fitted nowadays when they first come about you needed to fit your own it stops that flashing on start up aswell if you fit them correctly thay will make your car look much more modern but incorrect thay will just look a bit halfords 19 year old if you get me so just take your time and position correctly
