how would i go about wiring a footwell led light to my headlight switch.... i have a strip that is going to be fixed to the back of the heater box, the car is a 1991 City 998

I fitted them to my fiesta using a relay, triggered via a sidelight wire, the relay is also triggered by the door light too. Not sure if thats the best way, but they worked for me and the car hasnt caught fire because of them yet.

Relay from headlight/sidelight feed and battery positive. You may want to wire in a overide switch too - that would go in between your relay and HL/SL feed on the negative wire.

The negative from the LEDs would go to the battery negative/earthing point.

You will also need a fuse between your relay and battery positive.

 

(Found on internet)

(In your case, mainbeam feed is HL/SL feed)

 

This is how I wired small bulbs into my footwells, however, it may or may not be different for LEDs.

Hope this helps

yup I understand the wiring, just applying it to the car seems to be leaving me a little dumb, I may have to get someone to help me a install things until I get confidence in myself ;)

I would just use a hot glue gun.
