Hey!
I am thinking about installing some strips of blue LEDs under the dash, I've seen this as an option on more luxurious cars and if done in a subtle way (no bling bling), it can add a very classy touch to the interior at night.
The 12v 'cigarette lighter' outlet is switched (no power when the car is off) so this seems to be the perfect source of 12v juice, but I would prefer to solder wires instead of using the typical 12v lighter plug.
I am not going to disassemble the dash to access the back of the 12v jack, but in the photos (I don't have my car yet, pickup next week) it seems like the 12v jack can be pulled from the dash..
Anyways, if you know of a better way (fuse box?) or a more accessible source of 12v, please let me know!
Thanks!
