      I tapped into the actual + and - for the power to the cigarette lighter. Maybe the 22 gauge wire was for the ambient lighting on the cigarette lighter.

    First off I must say GREAT Video. I have done this mod to my SUV twice now and you make it look so easy. When I first did it there weren't many videos showing how to do it properly. I did it a second time when the shooting star feature became an option. And what's crazy is that now I am considering doing it again with a much bigger and brighter kit. Some say I am crazy but I refuse to pay someone a ton of money for something I can do myself. You are totally right about keeping it organized. The first time I did it I had wires going everywhere and the reinstalled was horrible.

    Question, if I tap into the fuse box I need to know, if I buy the splitter what fuse port do I plug it in ( I know it’s the cigarette port but in the video he had 2 other fuses in there where do I get that or is it just the cigarette port fuse and the star light fuse) can someone just help me out here thanks

    • @TheAutoSurgeon
      @TheAutoSurgeon 10 дней назад

      Hi, sorry I’m not 100% sure what you mean. Could you rephrase a little? But from what I can understand, you mean on the little paper there were two other fuse numbers? You can plug the fuse tap into any of those fuse numbers. If you mean the two fuses on the actual fuse tap itself, the one fuse is the one we remove to plug the fuse tap in, and the other fuse is a new one you need to buy that’s going to be connected to the starlight kit.

    • @Biggr1
      @Biggr1 10 дней назад

      @ right basically what I meant is - so you locate the cigarette port fuse, unplug that fuse, plug the cigarette port fuse into the fuse splitter (the wire that powers the star light) then get another fuse separately for the starlights that connect on to the fuse splitter? If that’s what you done can u tell me what amp fuse u used or wich one i need

      As long as you tap into an already fused power source, you don’t need to use another fuse. But yes, you can install an extra one if desired, it is redundant tho. If you’re directly tapping into the battery for power, then a fuse is required to run it safely.

      Super glue has a super low viscosity, it would be too messy and could leak through the hole onto the headliner fabric. You’d also need a ton of it and it’s not cheap. You could use epoxy or silicone-it would be a little messy and you’d have to wait for it to dry, but it’ll create a strong bond.

      So the length is referring to the actual length of the strands, so for bigger cars, you’ll want longer strands to span across the headliner. The wattage refers to the power the LEDs, the higher the wattage, the brighter the stars. I’d get the 800 star 20w light motor and the 9w 3m shooting star module-just so you have some wiggle room when it comes to installation!

      You need to double check the power source. What did you tap into? If you tapped into factory ambient lighting, like I did in the video, it’ll only turn on when your headlights turn on, at night. If your door lights are connected to a constant 12v supply, change the power source for the main controller, maybe that one is connected to your factory ambient lighting power. Change it to a constant (always on when the car is on) power source and it’ll be on at all times.
