Led lights
want to install some led strip lights in the 2005 vette in the grill area. want them to come on automatically when you start the car and stay on all the time. Would like to tie into a fuse that goes on at start and turns off when key is off, can't find one ? was going to use the accessory fuse but it is under a small box type cover in the foot well behind a large wire harness, have to pull the harness to open the box ?? any help please

isn't a Honda ? not sure what that means ? but all new cars including all Corvettes have LED accent lights, many people are also using LEDs for replacing many smaller bulbs /tail lights /directional etc , why did you bother to even post, obviously don't have a clue

OK. How’s this. It is a Corvette, not a Ricer. Your car do what you want but take note of how many of your fellow Corvette owners have lights in the grill. Yes I have all interior LED and exterior LED bulbs that can be changed, except lights in the grill.

they are great driving lights super bright, the factory fog lights automatically go off when head lights are on, wanted something to stay on all the time when driving , all new cars have them , not just ricers , the ones I have are only 1 x 8 inches long in a "L" shape will tuck into the corners of the grill on each side.

A simple fused relay and a 12v switched to the LED lights. I would probably wire in a simple on off switch just in case the police gives you a hard time. Most ADD ON led lights are for off road only s just keep that in mind. You have the right fuse to tap into.

used the heated seat fuse in the foot well fuse box, it is only on when you start the car , got a add-a- circuit adapter from auto parts store, the led's don't draw much power, these are not a off road type lights
