How to connect LED exterior lights to battery and fuse?
Hello
I just bought a set of LED strips to use as DRLs for my car. Basically it will turn on when ignition is turned on and turn off if headlight is turned on. I read the instructions and the negative wire goes to negative on battery and positive wire should plug to the ignition fuse?
I found the fuse but its part of a module with 2 other fuses (30A). How do i connect my wire (see pic) and connect to this module? Do i just pull off the plastic on the top of the fuse module? I just dont want to break anything...

If you have room, you can tuck the wire around the prongs of the fuse and plug the fuse back into place. That being said, its not a big deal, you can tap into anything that uses the same circuit as the ignition for source voltage.
I am not a fan of using voltage at a fuse. Really, you should be tapping in somewhere downstream from the fuse, so if it pops, it will kill everything that could be harmed.
