How do you fit daytime LED's?

[twh95]

Hi everyone
I'm new here, and I tried to fit daytime running led's on the front, however they really didn't go well ended up with one cylinder working and engine failure signs sorted that out but still stuck on how to fit these
anyone got any ideas?
cheers

What on earth did you do the first time?

You just need a 12v source that comes on with the ignition or could use the sidelights.

Wired them in to the ignition leads or something :S ? You could probably just put a power cable straight to the battery terminal like you do a sub woofer?

But the subwoofer has an ignition feed so it doesn't drain your battery, if you do that with the LED's they'll just constantly be on. THey draw so little power you'll only need the live feed for them to work. No need to fiddle with the battery.

just tried every fuse and then ended up with the small ones, suddenly didnt put a fuse back in the correct way and the car had a bit of a fit haha
is this doable by yourself or should i go to a garage?
