Please Help! Powering LEDs without the BCM
Please Help! I have LEDs in the side markers, engine bay, taillights, trunk lid, and halos that are powered from the battery through the instrument panel light switch in the "Parking Light" position on the switch. Because of the battery saving feature, the BCM turns off all power after 10 minutes when the ignition is off. To turn the lights back on, I must cycle the instrument panel switch from the "OFF" position back to the "Parking Light" position every 10 minutes. Since the above LEDs are powered from the battery, I also have to start the car about every hour to prevent the battery from going dead. I would like to know how others have powered the above LEDs and other LEDs they have on their show cars without going through the instrument panel light switch, BCM, and draining the battery? How do you power your Car Show lights?

Well on my car, for my "extra" LED's, I installed a toggle switch under the hood at the cowl area where you access the cabin air filter, pulled out one of the push pins, drilled it out and installed the toggle. In the front of your fuse box there is a stud and a nut where you can access power from, I ran a wire from there up to the toggle, then wired my LED's to the toggle "on" side, along with a ground. You can turn them on and off when you wish. Not sure if you can tap into your side markers that way though.
