guls Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Does Journey come with ambient lighting option in footwells. Mine 2013 Crew didn't and i wanted to add some lights there. I ordered some from Superbright LEDs. I wanted to wire them into the one thats under the radio. I have 2 questions, 1) has anyone done this and can give me some pointers. 2) how to take the center console/ dash apart. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgusto82 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've done this on my caravan, not the DJ. I'd suggest you add an inline resistor, as the light would be too bright if you wire it straight to a 12v supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guls Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 How many ohm resistor will do the job? Also i am trying to tap into current LED under the climate control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgusto82 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 That depends, are the LEDs already wired for 12v? Or do you need add resistors for that? A 220 resistor should drop 1.5v from your standard 3.3-3.5 LEDs. (If already wired for 12v). Also depends on the color of the LED. Like an LED strip is already set up for 12v, and will bring it down to what it needs you're just adding resistance to adjust your brightness.
