As a mechanic please don’t wrap wires around fuses buy a fuse block connection that has a in-line fuse please otherwise will have the fire department putting your car out of fire
Would it be best to attach the hot wire to the positive on the battery?.. I’ve tried finding out as much info as possible on how to install this on my dodge dart and they’ve not replied to me anywhere
This is probably the most unsafe install I've seen of one of these yet. Last two I bought come with a fuse tap. At least now I know which brand not to buy.
I had the same problem in that I can't seem to find any fuses in the engine fuse box that don't continuously supply power. I wonder if I can just tap this thing into my fog lights instead.

You want the people just to buy the strip light and forget about safety. Connecting the Wire and Running the wires this way randomly can cause electric issues and may fire.
Congratulations, you just taught everyone how this shouldnt be done.....smh. Do wiring the right way, dont wrap fuses, use an actual jumper with the correct amperage fuse. Teach people the correct ways to do things.
Yea, the point is to have it wired to "ground". As long as it connects to the frame, just like when you use jumper cables. The negative always goes to ground on the car you're jumping from.
Pull harder on the fuses. There is no such thing as a non removable fuse. If there was then they wouldn’t put a fuse. Use pliers. And no you can’t just attach to the positive battery terminal or it will never turn off
@@BillOfAllTrades2016 I have an 2010 lexus ls460 the fuses aren't removable. You have to replace the whole module called junction box. I can see if there's maybe a different fuse box under the hood but the main one next to the battery wont work
Can someone help me, how can I know what the ACC fuse is or where it is located, to connect the red wire? The car belongs to my daughter, it is a 2023 Mitsubishi outlander model.
I knew nothing about installing fuses 30 minutes ago. This is my 3rd video and I already know that isn’t safe. You have to somehow put that stripped wire as add on to a current according fuse. Don’t go over or under the electric power of that color fuse. I was hoping this video would teach me more about this but you installed the lazy way which isn’t safe. That negative wire isn’t protected or something as far as I know and can short or start a fire. Someone correct me if I’m wrong I just watched semi long videos so far.
Think he missed a step after wrapping wire around the fuse. After you put back the wire wrapped fuse you need to take exactly 1 cup water and pour it over the fuses to help the connection while car is on
Absolutely,with 40 Amp you will put the leds on fire and the wire will melt down.The best thing to do is to use around 1 or 2 Amps,otherwise you will need to add a resistance depending of the Ampers you will use.The formula is R=V/I .
@alvarot6058 that makes sense but all these other people who install these LED strips tie into a much higher amperage fuse and don't have issues. It's confusing lol The smallest fuse I found in the entire car is 7.5amps
hi great video thank you , but how dose the light comes on and off , is it when you start the car ? or when you open doors ? and you connect red wire to ACC is this aircon ? what is the Acc? I have tried different ways and or I cant get car to start haha hope to get back a quick answer cheers
thats because you used a fuse that always have voltage in it choose a fuse that only has voltage when you put the key on so when you turn off the key the lights will go off ;)
The best way is to try it in the fuse place if it’s turn on it’s not the good one , if it’s not on mean it’s the good one that it will work only when the engine is turn on , I was having the same issu the light stay on then I do some research and find this option !
This is a scam. The fb ad shows the light scan from side to side when you start the car but in reality it’s just a plane white LED strip that all lights up solid. What a jip!
Un robinet à fusible transforme un emplacement en deux emplacements, fournit un porte-fusible pour protéger le circuit existant et un deuxième porte-fusible pour protéger le nouveau circuit.

Your not suppose to keep the pos connected direct to the battery. The ground can stay, but you want the positive to be on a switch side of your lights or something that turns on with the car. You can tap into the headlight fuse, i dont reccomend that but just watch some other LED install vids for cars, its all the same for the most part.
This is a basic, not so safe, inexpensive way of doing it. I’m not to sure about the whole wrapping the wire around the bare metal of the fuse and just shoving it back in place. 😮😳😑🤨🤔
