Default Looking for a switched power lead
I just installed a set of yellow foot well lights and now I need to find a switched power source/wire.

Has anyone done this before and know which wire to tap into?

I'm looking for a lead that is only powered on when the ignition is on.

Thank,
Mike

The armrest lighter socket is switched to ACC power, but in this car ACC really isn't that different from ignition. My radar detector is tapped from that.

Generally the purple wire you find will be a switched wire. Otherwise hook into the cigar lighter wiring.
