  • In this video I go through the basics for wiring a 3 prong Rocker switch to a LED light that will be mounted to the Land Cruiser.
    Basic tools are needed an anyone can do this
    Wiring basic accessories to your vehicle is a great DIY project and should not be an intimidating task.
    Invest in good quality switches for your vehicle setup and you will rarely have any issues.
    Please drop a comment below if you would like a more in depth wiring video where more detail is given regarding soldering, heat shrink etc.

    I need to install couple of rocker switches with LEDs in a cargo van. This is exactly what I needed, a simple explanation of how these switches work and should be connected. Thank you.

    What if the light(accessory) negative can't reach the battery, can I combine it into the ground wire coming from the battery into the rocker switch?

      Ground it to the body of the car. It doesn't need to go to the battery negative just ground it to the frame structure by loosing up a screw and ground the negative wire to it

    I wired in this switch exactly how you said...and It didnt work. The power wire from the battery goes on the bottom terminal and the feed to the accessory goes to the middle. Explain that one!

      Still works as in the video, just a different layout
      Supply would be battery positive
      Acc would be accessory
      Ground would be.. well ground lol

    You don't do something improperly and then say you will show how to do it right later! You should have at least use clip leads. You had NO fuse in the circuit so what you had could have burnt up if those bare wires shorted out. Very poor.
