Sound Off Intersectors? As long as you have a legitimate use, I can understand you keeping them on there!

No legitimate use, other than to fill the hole in the mirrors. AFAIK, they aren't hooked up to anything, so they won't be getting used.

I finally got time in the shop, and got the light bulbs in the dome lights replaced (LEDs) and got the ticket light installed. I ended up splicing into the power and ground for the dome light. Works great, as do the front and back dome lights! :D

What wire did you have to splice into using the given dome/map light.

I spliced into a wire but it is only giving me enough juice to use the red light and not the white.

All answers welcome

That's weird, I'd expect power is power. It's been 5 years (man, how time's fun when you're having flies!), and I've forgotten a lot since then. I'd have to get out to pull thngs out to verify, as I don't remember at all.

The ticket light I installed was 100% LED, so it took a lot less power to run. I'd think, though, that if it's a power issue, you'd be popping fuses. Have you verified you're actually getting power to the white circuit?
