You shouldn't need more rubber hose for anything, but yea pep boys or auto zone sounds like the right place.
I hooked mine up with the headlight breaker which is on the right side of the engine bay, and you can put the negative wires pretty much anywhere in the bay obviously, I just loosened a bolt on the battery and stuck them on there. Edit: This is in my opinion the easiest way, but you can if you want hook them up to pretty much any other electrical wire, but headlights are the easiest seeing as if they're on thats probably when you want the led's on. This is a 10-15 minute job if you just want them temporarily, but if your afraid of getting a ticket you'll probably want to wire a switch through the firewall of your car. Get a knowledgable friend to help you with that it will take a while. This post has been edited by Zoom: Mar 25, 2003 - 12:17 AM |

You can hook them up your turn signals like i'm gonna do and have it so they only turn on when you turn the blinker on and that way you don't have to worry too much about being hasseled by the po-po.

what, u don't like?? that's MY car so u better not say nuthin' anyways, jeremy, to hook 'em up to the sidemarkers u unscrew them and pull the wire out a little bit, that way u can reach them and connect it that way. no need to give it to a midget to go inside your engine to do. -------------------- |

You can always unbolt the side fenders to make it a whole lot easier, but then you have to remove the front bumper i think. I know Mynzeyes made a how-to on making your own sidemarkers and he explains which wires are used for side lights and turn lights.

if you are savvy enough and you have an alarm you can have them only turn on when you turn the alarm on or off. to blink twice or so. i had the nozzles in my 98 tiburon before it got totaled. i also put a switch though 'cos i didn't want them on all the time.

I just installed my Super Street Windshield Squirter LED lights (Neon Blue color) this afternoon, and I went about it a different route, and probably one of the easiest. My friend and I decided that since I'm only going to be using them during the night, to hook them up to my main head lights. How you do this is after your get your lights screwed on, run the wires along the side of your hood, and down to your headlights. Reach in and remove your bulbs, and plug one of the wires in to where your bulb goes (for power), and then plug your blub back in. Since you need to ground the other wire, you can just screw it under a near-by bolt. So your right squirter LED light goes to your right head light, and left LED to left headlight. This way, when you turn your lights on at night, your LED's will come on with them. Since mine are blue, I'm pretty sure I won't have any trouble from the police, but I did here it is illegal to have red, so be careful with that. |

I found it really easy to install. I had the power wire hooked into my left turn signal power wire and then I put the ground wire under a bolt on the radiator support. I used tie wraps, like the ones you get on loaves of bread, to keep the wires in place as I ran them across the bottom of my hood. If I didn't do that, I would have all sorts of wires dangling down when I opened my hood. I don't have the lights anymore because of THE POLICE. Apparantly they think they're too distracting to other drivers. Whatever!!!! I'm currently in the process of sanding off the paint on mine so I just have clear washer nossles. Depending on how strict the police is around your area, I would suggest getting a switch for your lights.
