Thank you! After days of searching and being given vague and derisive answers, this video CLEARLY gives me the answer I need. Much appreciated! :)

[@ChumyMototo]

Great video and tuts. One of the best way to find the ACC (accessory) 12 Volts Power in your car is from the "Secondary Fuse-box" Inside your car, normally it is located directly below your dashboard, some Ford have them on the Right, while Nissan and most Japanese cars are located on the Left portion of the dash near the OBD2 Inputs. It's where your "Cigarette Lighter Fuse" is located and it is an ACC unit, just tap to it. Although, in some car it's difficult to run a wire from the hood to the Inside-Dash of the car, some car it's very easy, simply pull a rubber grommets, then your LED wires are in.

Will the power outlet still work when you put change the fuse? Not sure how it works.

Saved my life. Thanks for this insight

[@wanguyos1109]

Thanks a lot ! after having tested all the fuses I thought I had to pull a wire to the cigarette lighter...then after a final search in French then with the same terms in English I had the pleasure of seeing your video! It works perfectly kisses from france 🇫🇷

If I wire in switches to turn on interior leds is there a need to do the acc? Since I am in control of when they are on?

[@tof3275]

Very good clear video, just a slight observation, when starting your vehicle make sure that any loose objects (fuse box cover etc.) do not slip down into the engine compartment otherwise you might end up with something getting broken 🤔🤔🤔

Thanks for posting.. tomorrow I'll will try.. thx Again...very Clear the way u explain it.

[@samgadzooker]

Good instructional video but I would add to be sure you protect the new circuit with a proper fuse. This will prevent you from burning up your car from the circuit catching on fire. I have 40 + years experience on wiring on automobiles. The girl did a good job of showing you how to find a suitable circuit for the led lights. Excellent Job mylady

Does a relay trigger wire really need to be fused? The relay is going to be fused between the relay and the battery.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS VIDEO! It seems that the comment section has it all covered, bit it needs to be said over and over again...Do NOT wire your aftermarket daytime running light in this manner. The people that uploaded this video should be ashamed for giving such horrible advice. The relay socket is no place to junction electrical wiring from. The other issue by judging all the 👍 means that you may have directed some inexperienced people to use your method and compromise the vehicles electrical integrity.

[@miltonkhemis4900]

That's not true I followed similar instructions to install a set of DRL on a car I owned back then in 2015 and it worked well for me my little brother owns the car now and still those lights are in great shape

Absolutely perfect video!!! I was using a generic led strip that only had the positive and grounding wire and could not figure out how to use a fuse for it. Once I tried the relay, it worked like a charm and I felt like an idiot for focusing on one thing for 4+ hours. Ive never done this kind of mod on any car so I was not versed at all in this, this morning that I decided to just try it. Thank you thank you thank you!

I did something like these in my Civic, taking care to open a little hole for cable passing keeping moist and water protection in the box. I used a extra glass cartridge fuse, to protect the feeder. Despite the simplicity of the installation, it works, RDL lights got current less than 0,5 Amp. both of them.

[@DavidSmith-vp3dn]

NO! Don't put bare RED wire in like this! Go to auto store and get a an "Add-A-Circuit" for your type fuse (example - this video shows micro, mini, or ATO size, your owners manual will tell you). They are also called "Taps". But NEVER bare wire like this! There WILL BE a "ACC" accessory (switched hot) that you can pull to add this additional circuit.

So if I use a fuse tap, it will still function the way it does in the video?

[@Humester12]

If someone ever removes that fuse to replace it, that wire will fall out and the person may not know why or where it was. Besides, you can't leave a 12v connection stay in place by a relay prong. Not a good idea. It should be hard wired with its own fuse so that nobody can pull it off. On the plus side, your voice is very cute and angelic.

I do not understand why the horn relay port one was hot. Is not it only hot when the horn button is pressed? Please clarify.

[@skiwias3917]

+Bee Wax it could be on the ACC side of the fuse box so when the ACC circuit is live so is the horn source and the horn switch activates the relay closing the circuit. What i dont get is why would you want to just stuff a Wire in to a relay pin, get out a volt meter or test light and do the job right with solder and heat shrink, far safer and looks much neater.

[@trueheart5666]

I have a switchback drl with harness, plug and play to my turn signal except the DRL, it has 1 wire that I need to tap somewhere, I can tap it to the parklights so it turns on when I switch the parklights on. My car is 2016 yaris model with no DRL so I want a DRL. I couldn't find the ACC fuse in the engine fusebox and it's a hassle if I tap it in the dashboard fusebox, I did this in the horn relay but my horn just blared continuously lololol embarrassing, instead of the horn relay, I shoved the wire to the relay beside it namely FAN 02 and it works. Because my switchback is plug and play I figured it is still protected by the oem relay and fuse and the Drl wire is just a trigger not the power source. Been running this setup for about 4 years now. The switchback and drl is still running good.
