Here's a photo of the fuse box description.

Yes, I have a two fuse tap. I want to sync so the floor lights turn on at night only. I don't want it to be on all the time. I was thinking of tapping into the headlights, but that would be a tad more difficult then tapping in the interior fuse box.Do you have a tap fuse with 2 slots? I installed a dash cam and hard wired it to the fuse box with the a/c fuse. I'm sure that would work also. Maybe even the daytime running light?
Hmm, that might be more than my skill level lol. Not sure where you would tap that, or if you would have to do some wire splicing that connects to the headlight?Yes, I have a two fuse tap.

I will have to fuse tap to the box in the engine compartment. There are headlights fuse there. Then run a wire through the grommet I guess. Now, where is that engine compartment grommet.Hmm, that might be more than my skill level lol.

That makes good sense to me now that I think about that logic. Good callYou guys are misunderstanding how fuseboxes work.
There are switched circuits and always on circuits.
Just because the headlights are not turned on, doesn't mean the Headlight Fuse is not getting power. If you tap to the headlight fuse, your LED will be on all the time, regardless of whether the lights are on or not.
You have to splice wires directly into the headlight's 12v wire, or hook up a relay to that same 12v and battery.
Good Idea @carlson03. I have the led lights that can be adjusted for brightness. I have them barely on right now. I want to mimic the interior lights of the Acura. They are subtle not BOOM right at you.Here is what I would do, if you plan on tapping into your headlights, get an H11 extender, plug your factory harness into that, then splice that wire....may be a few dollars more, but your not splicing into your factory wiring...

If you do that, you can undo it and never even know.
Or, splice off the dome light, so they only turn on when the doors are open? I would think the lights might be distracting at night imo
