Hey guys, just got my new 2005 tC and I'm tinkering around with some little things.

I'm going to be wiring up some LED's to a switch and I needed to know if this is the correct way? Also:

How do I know which fuse/amp to pull or piggy-back from?

Please help, thanks!

Dom

I wouldn't "piggyback" any of your wiring from the fuse box. This can cause damage to your vehicle.

Get your ignition power under the steering column. Also be sure to properly fuse your wiring.

also, led's only take 3 volts, TOPS, make sure if you are putting an led on like that without a resistor, that it is a prewired led that has a resistor built in, (if it's some varad thing that already came with wires you'll be alright, but if you bought an led from radio shack, you'll need resistors)
