I have recently purchased a set of 4 LED's which i plan on installing in my Truck's (99 Dakota) Interior.  I baught them form online, and here is an EBAY auction for the same things (i cant find the site i got them from) http:///.com/dll?ViewItem&item=3090041246&category=20334

OK, so i have those and i am needing to know how to install them.  I plan on running wire to my trucks Cigarette Lighter and also installing a switch (which will install into a Plug (Where a 6V option could have been installed)).  Basically waht i need to know is what im treying to do alright. 

I will run all 4 sets of wire form the LED's into the switch.  Then run a + and - wires to the 12V outlet.  I will strip the wire gaurd slightly off the wires and then attach my power wires to them.  My quesiton is how is the best way to do this at home, seeing as i cant Solder whats my best bet.  Eitherway, one conected i then cover my connection with electric tape?!?

Do i need anything else?  Will this work?  Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not an expert, but I think the LED's you have will stay on constant when power is applied (unless you bought the ones with the built in Flasher) Also you may wanna check and find out what the voltage is of your LED's most alarm style LED's run at like 2-3 volts only.  If you hooked them up to constant power you would blow them out.  Check this first... and good luck.

if those are the same things you have, they already have a resistor installed, and you can hook them up to 12v power.
