Well, I'm not really sure he has a D but the wording on face book made it sound like he did. I did think his comment would look suspicious since it was his first post so I see why you thought that.

Hey Dave,
I am thinking again about turning the Front Marker/Blinker lights to LED's to help save on Power Consumption.
What Flasher did you suggest I get so the LED's blink correctly? Something from AutoZone?
Are these the correct LEDs?

Also, does anyone know the CORRECT SIZE for the Stock HeadLight/Hazard light switches for LEDs. I don't want a Blue/Red from Houston. I want to replace them with white LED bulbs.

The LED size for headlight and hazard switch lights is #74. See here: http://delorean2109.blogspot.com/201...good-idea.html The leads on the bulb need to be bent straight and clipped shorter to be no longer than the bulb base itself---if I remember correctly. A fuse will pop if this is not done.

Those LEDs will probably work fine. The blinker from any car parts place that states "works with LEDs" should also work fine. My LEDs are getting pretty old now and there may be better ones like you guys are finding. Mine had 18 or so LEDs. In the switches, I soldered an LED inside and put the current resistor in the harness.Originally Posted by Ryan King

Hey guys,
Sorry to revive old threads, but I am trying to learn how to do this one, and I think maybe my wiring harness is a bit different than you guys' harness.
I've been reading this and other footwell LED threads a bit today. So, let me get this straight, you guys are tapping into a 12v+ purple wire -is there any one particular one, or just any purple wire that has power? I read you guys are utilizing the purple wire that goes to the dome light, and that on some cars it is near the speaker on the passenger side. Has anyone been in a situation where that wire is not near the passenger speaker (like me) ?
Second, you guys are using the p/w wire for ground? How exactly are you guys doing this? I would think if you tap into these two wires, the LEDs will stay constantly on. Are you guys utilizing the P/W wire that connects to the passenger door light switch?
I've read this thread a bunch of times, and there's a lot of "I did this, but he did that, and the 3rd guy did something totally different..." kind of information, which is good, but I feel like I'm not following any one path. Can someone describe (preferably with photos) exactly what they did and what was utilized?
Thanks everyone!

Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.
Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

Nevermind - I figured it out with help from HillBillyDMC.

My VIN: thirty two 'o five
Club(s): (PNDC)
From Superbright, I used:
1 x C21-I36: Interconnect-36 Inch Long $0.99
1 x C21-P36: Power-36 Inch Long $0.99
1 x RLBN-CW30SMD: Cool White $9.95
1. Cut the strip of LEDS in half
2. Cut one end off your connector cable
3. now solder the bare wire end to the end of the strip you cut that no longer has s connector
4. Mount the first half on the bottom of the glove box
5. tie power into the + (purple) and - (purple white) running up the RH/PS A-pillar
6. route the connector cable through the centre console
7. mount the second strip somewhere convenient on the drivers side
8. plug it into the connector

I love LEDs. I had some in my wrangler and also had 4 rigid industries led spotlighta. My poor jeep was stolen recently. But it's because of that I'm able to buy my delorean nowthings went better than expected

Okay, good picture, I could follow that. But I don't really understand why.
It's constant live & the Earth is switched by door switch?
Can someone, in basic terms, explain if that is happening?
I loves my grooves!
