Has anyone done the ABL LED kit?

Check out this thread, they come on with the dome light only either when the doors or opened, the switch etc. very easy.

no... you cant do that without a switch.

if you hook it up with the dome light... then it will only come on when the dome light does. (so, if doors are shut.... dome light must be turned on manually up top)

if you want to turn on the floor lights BUT NOT the dome light.. you will have to have a second power source.

All you have to do, is put a switch under the dash... tap into the dome light, like everybody else does.... but instead of running that wire to the LEDS, you run it to a switch. from that switch, you run a wire to your LEDS.
...
then hook into another wire that has power whenever you want (such as dash lights or power outlet) and run that wire to your switch.

and there you go. flip switch from left to right and it changes which power source is feeding the lights.

Here is a picture of mine

call me an idiot, but how do you "tap" into a wire such as the dome light wire?

and how would I even know which wire is the dome light wire?

WOW! thanks for the detailed explanation, but since I'm new to even tapping into wires I think I'm going to leave the lights to just turning on when the dome light turns on lol

You buy a t-tap connector clamp it on the grey dome light wire near your pedals and plug in the led light wire to it. It's pretty simple. There is a DIY with pictures located somewhere on the forum.

Here is the SUPER SIMPLE way to do it then..... that second power wire... run it under the dash to the left.. to the fuse box.... pull out the fuse for your power outlet (like u use for phone car charger)take your hot wire, wrap the metal around one leg of the fuse.. and stick it back into the fuse box.

Its about as simple as can be. The LEDs will not draw enough juice to cause any damage, and it is 150% reversible if you ever want to go back and put in a permanent wire.

I plan on hooking up the kit early next week if my package arrives. My hawk brakes are being delivered Friday but don't know when my lights are coming damn USPS:(
