Quick lighting question

I had some people suggest that I disable the battery before installing my new LEDs.

Do you guys agree or is it not a big deal? Just want to make sure.

It's no big deal as long as you get the correctly LED types in each location.

I've swaped headlights, taillights, full leds without taking off the neg terminal. The only reason they have you do that is so you don't short anything out. I had customers put pliers in the socket and blow the fuse then ask me what happened.. smh.. You will be fine as long as you have the slightest bit of common sense.
