LEDGlow 4pc. LED Interior Kit
 
I purchased an LEDGlow 4pc. LED Interior Kit for my 2008 Mazda3 and I was hoping someone could please guide me to install it properly?

I would like to set-up my LEDGlow kit so that when I turn on my headlights, it will automatically turn on. I was told from staff that I need to purchase an eyelet connector. Would I have to modify any wiring by doing this? And they also recommended I test the post if it's hot or not with a multimeter... would I have to unplug the battery incase of electrical shock?

My fuse box that's located under the hood:

Here are the following instructions that they gave to install the LED Interior Kit to your fuse panel:

Connecting to a Fuse Panel
If you choose to wire the interior kit to an automatically switched ignition source in your vehicle, you must first locate the fuse for such a source. You may need your owner’s manual or the help of a mechanic.
Choose a fused source with at least a 10 amp fuse for the kit; anything less may blow the fuse with the kit installed and running.
Next, run the positive power wire (red) directly to a fuse slot in your vehicle’s fuse panel and insert it on one side of the fuse slot. * Make sure not to bridge the fuse with the wire or it will render the fuse useless in the event of a short circuit in your vehicle. You may also purchase a replacement fuse with accessory
wire attached to one side at an automotive parts store.
Finally the ground wire (black) may be connected to any ground source or any bare metal on the vehicle.



I realize the black wire needs to be grounded, but where does the red wire go, into the eyelet connector? Or does the black write also get connected to the eyelet connecter? Thank you for all your help in advance!!!

i also just ordered a 4 piece from them. i learned in my mazda 3 2011 that they use low profile fuses. i think. i ordered with a standard fuse so im not sure what it will look like or how i can get it to work since ive never worked with fuses before. but i also am looking into all these facts. i have built many computers so im assuming is shouldnt be that hard to DIY. if you find any information please post. im not trying to plug them into the headlight switch im thinking i want it in an always on switch (like horn) if i can turn it off via remort/control box
