Where is the T-Tap needed?

There is a connector in the harness for 3 bulbs already right?

No the harness has one behind the fuse box(on the driver side) and one behind the instruments This is where you will need to T-Tap but do it to the new LED's.

Okay, I think I follow you now....

The one behind the fuse box is for the driver's side LED, the one behind the cluster is used to tap off the 2 needed for the passengers side.

Not yet...need time to do a quick video. I can wrap up all the main points in a quick DIY if I can find someone to do the video for me. I can show a quick break down of the dash, etc and what goes where. I'll do that tomorrow I suppose.

Yup. A two way splitter is not needed. It just made it a lot easier to do...cleaner and quicker.

Without using a splitter....what is the trick...simply tapping into the wires and extending them over to the far LED?

RedRyder · 01-16-2011, 05:51 PM

Say for instance you wanted a different color in the dash ABL. Could you order the GM lights and swap out the 5mm LED inside with something else just like the door panel ABL?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-16-2011, 06:26 PM
