Footwell lights installation - 1/29/2008 7:05:50 PM    xowktiger   Posts: 7 Score: 0 Joined: 1/28/2008 Status: offline I wanted to buy a LED light stick and connect it below the steering wheel so it'd light up when the doors are open. But I was having troubleopening the casin under the steering wheel. Also, I'm supposed to connect it to the chassis ground and switched power sources. I'm not quite sure what those mean. If anyone can help me, thank you. Post #: 1
