Great video and tuts. One of the best way to find the ACC (accessory) 12 Volts Power in your car is from the "Secondary Fuse-box" Inside your car, normally it is located directly below your dashboard, some Ford have them on the Right, while Nissan and most Japanese cars are located on the Left portion of the dash near the OBD2 Inputs. It's where your "Cigarette Lighter Fuse" is located and it is an ACC unit, just tap to it. Although, in some car it's difficult to run a wire from the hood to the Inside-Dash of the car, some car it's very easy, simply pull a rubber grommets, then your LED wires are in.

Will the power outlet still work when you put change the fuse? Not sure how it works.
Saved my life. Thanks for this insight
Thank you! After days of searching and being given vague and derisive answers, this video CLEARLY gives me the answer I need. Much appreciated! :)
Thanks to you lady I did this way back in 2015 for a Toyota Mark X and worked well my little brother owns that car now and the wiring has no problem at all the lights are still in great shape I have done the same with a Lexus GS350 I purchased in 2017 I don't see any problem at all still wondering why some people are so negative here. Try it out first before coming up conclusions instead of lashing out at someone
So easy, thanks so much. Am flabbergasted at how great they look. My small truck is now 'visible' . Next, the Mustang.
Thanks a lot ! after having tested all the fuses I thought I had to pull a wire to the cigarette lighter...then after a final search in French then with the same terms in English I had the pleasure of seeing your video! It works perfectly

Good instructional video but I would add to be sure you protect the new circuit with a proper fuse. This will prevent you from burning up your car from the circuit catching on fire. I have 40 + years experience on wiring on automobiles. The girl did a good job of showing you how to find a suitable circuit for the led lights. Excellent Job mylady
You are either delusional or on crack!
@@walterk1221 why...
Does a relay trigger wire really need to be fused? The relay is going to be fused between the relay and the battery.
@@kg0311 there is no such thing as to many safety additions on a circuit. a fuse will not reduce the amps or voltage just protect it
Si tienes 40 años de experiencia,pues hace un video y pinchamos y vemos 40 años de experiencia 😊,a ver si tienes cojones
The instructions are clear n concise and appreciated by those of us who know very little about vehicle wiring. Thank you
Very good clear video, just a slight observation, when starting your vehicle make sure that any loose objects (fuse box cover etc.) do not slip down into the engine compartment otherwise you might end up with something getting broken 🤔🤔🤔
wow! very simple demonstration but i learn alot.. I've seen some videos that i don't understand. thanks guys!
You seriously made it so easy to install. Not like the other videos some of the car tech guys show. I got confused with their videos...
Same here!
I didn't buy my led fog lights from you guys, but the company I did buy them from gave me no instructions. Thank you so much! I'm buying from you guys from now on

omg that's the most helpful video showing how can we install LED day light easily .. thank you
Very clear instructions. Yes a pigtail fuse add-on would be safer but I had a 40’s vintage pickup truck where I wired in some extra circuits and never had problem. The added wire was always fused with an in-line fuse added for the new light or whatever
Absolutely perfect video!!! I was using a generic led strip that only had the positive and grounding wire and could not figure out how to use a fuse for it. Once I tried the relay, it worked like a charm and I felt like an idiot for focusing on one thing for 4+ hours. Ive never done this kind of mod on any car so I was not versed at all in this, this morning that I decided to just try it. Thank you thank you thank you!
Congrats Girl ! You have done a great job ! Very precise and great presentation ! You Rock ! One of the best presentation i have ever seen for trouble shooting an ACC 12V. 10/10
Narrindar Singh You can't be serious.....this is a totally bullshit method of installing an electrical accessory and it has no business being presented as being a "How To" video.
Tu como eres listo😢,dile como se hace,tonto tu@@pcressma
If there's a competition for stupid and terrible installation advise, this is definitely the champion
PLEASE REMOVE THIS VIDEO!
It seems that the comment section has it all covered, bit it needs to be said over and over again...Do NOT wire your aftermarket daytime running light in this manner.
The people that uploaded this video should be ashamed for giving such horrible advice. The relay socket is no place to junction electrical wiring from.
The other issue by judging all the 👍 means that you may have directed some inexperienced people to use your method and compromise the vehicles electrical integrity.
That's not true I followed similar instructions to install a set of DRL on a car I owned back then in 2015 and it worked well for me my little brother owns the car now and still those lights are in great shape
Milton Khemis it is true that is a big hazard right there
This is really wrong. Connect the acc wire to one of the headlight acc wire instead. This is totally wrong
@@miltonkhemis4900 Oh it works, just like sticking bare wires into the mains can work - it is just a terribly poor way of doing things and can cause problems. But sure, like most bodge-jobs, it works well until it doesn't.
@@guyteigh3375 Would it make it any safer if the red wire had a built in 30AMP fuse connected to it, then if it drew to much that fuse would kill it before it could do damage. just curious
Works well for cheap security alarm. Wire up a horn through this and a throw switch under the dash. If someone tries to start car without knowing to first cut switch, the horn fires up when the car starts.
awesome idea!
I did something like these in my Civic, taking care to open a little hole for cable passing keeping moist and water protection in the box. I used a extra glass cartridge fuse, to protect the feeder. Despite the simplicity of the installation, it works, RDL lights got current less than 0,5 Amp. both of them.
Thanks for posting.. tomorrow I'll will try.. thx Again...very
Clear the way u explain it.
I don't know much but your voice is like an angel......
Fat ass neckbeards who has never talked to a woman be like:
NO! Don't put bare RED wire in like this! Go to auto store and get a an "Add-A-Circuit" for your type fuse (example - this video shows micro, mini, or ATO size, your owners manual will tell you). They are also called "Taps". But NEVER bare wire like this! There WILL BE a "ACC" accessory (switched hot) that you can pull to add this additional circuit.
So if I use a fuse tap, it will still function the way it does in the video?
Thanks
@@mrdrywyup so it’s useless advice seems this relay thing is the best solution.
Also plenty of people have done it without any problems so I think it’s just try hards or gatekeepers making it out to be more than it is
I mean yeah it’s a bit ghetto but this is how it was done from the start TBH
Horn is never ACC, Horn is always on; can you show on Honda CRV 2013, which relay to use; and which metal pin to use.
you right bro
damn, looking all day for something about using relays thank you! and your cute
but she said watch us....has a boyfriend vibe
I like it when she says ACC
What a great "how not to" video :0(
Been looking everywhere for a vid like this. Thank you 😉
If someone ever removes that fuse to replace it, that wire will fall out and the person may not know why or where it was.
Besides, you can't leave a 12v connection stay in place by a relay prong. Not a good idea. It should be hard wired with its own fuse so that nobody can pull it off. On the plus side, your voice is very cute and angelic.
This has helps tons!!! Thank you!!! I ordered a pair of halo lights for my 2012 jk jeep unlimited and it has the EXACT same wiring, needless to say when I say it at first I thought I was starring at hieroglyphics haha
iJDMTOY.com Automotive LED I ordered the daytime running reflector(white only) what led bulbs work best with this. And where is the acc located in a 350z
Thanks .... you help me a lot... in my hyundai sonata gls .... now my fog lights is working. Thanks
Location location location location! Nice video
..... Your obviously a Real Estate Agent.......
This is terrible advice, you should never shove a bare wire into a relay socket for an "install"
Holy shit I was thinking the same thing. WTF was she thinking?
Exactly
I wonder why you guys think this doesn't work I followed these same instructions from this video to install a set of DRL on a Toyota Mark X way back in 2015 and everything works to perfection no power overload, malfunction or anything wrong. My little brother still has that car up until now with those lights still in great shape.
Milton Khemis because im A certified technician. This is unsafe, i also Have my Osha certification for safety.
@@jonathanlanuza7258 Thanks for the advice safety is a first priority
hanks for your simple and well delivered video, can you please help to me to know the ACC relay on my 2008 dodge charger sxt, I need confirmation to be sure as I have bought a LED DLR to use.
Now I need to see a man knitting tutorial and my life will be complete.
Bro stfu your dumb ass wouldn't need a tutorial if your daddy raised you right
@@eLaine33 You might have talked nice, if dad did't beat you, love.
That moment when you find out your burning a wire due to overloading...hey why is there fire trucks around my car ...
You're 😂
@@zulfikranzulmos4066 You're. Note the period at the end of YOU'RE. You did awesome! You happen to find someone else's comment from 4 years ago. And corrected them. On something that had nothing to do with a spelling Or grammar quiz. Maybe in a few years. You will be able to do you're own comment. Relative to the video.
why *are there fire trucks
@@condoningchaos4789 ( Why *Are there Fire trucks.)
The diffrence is. If you are going to ride the tail of my post. With a correction. Come correct.
@@freakyflow stfu your grammar is horrible clearly
Thanks, but how do you do it inside the car for parking sensors please.
so would i use the yellow wire run it there to my stereo would i have power?? my situation is pretty difficult to figure out
Why not invest for cheaper multimeter. I think it safer and proper way to check wiring. Myselft seldom use the pen tester.
Finally ! someone with a Brain.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
ACC is for always constant current. That means it get power always. even if key is out. acc is used for memory factors on computer boxes and radios and clocks.
ACC is for accessory.. what in the world is going on in this comment section.. i have never read so much crap in my life
very nicely explained
Thanks, couldn't figure it out last night. To wrap it up and make sure it works I just ran to battery but of course they WON'T go off. Fixing it today.
Perfect instructions!
I have a switchback drl with harness, plug and play to my turn signal except the DRL, it has 1 wire that I need to tap somewhere, I can tap it to the parklights so it turns on when I switch the parklights on. My car is 2016 yaris model with no DRL so I want a DRL. I couldn't find the ACC fuse in the engine fusebox and it's a hassle if I tap it in the dashboard fusebox, I did this in the horn relay but my horn just blared continuously lololol embarrassing, instead of the horn relay, I shoved the wire to the relay beside it namely FAN 02 and it works. Because my switchback is plug and play I figured it is still protected by the oem relay and fuse and the Drl wire is just a trigger not the power source. Been running this setup for about 4 years now. The switchback and drl is still running good.
awsome, was able to install my DRL on my Tiburon, I used the AC relay.
i'm so impress....i don't know is safe but that quite easy..thanks
Depending on how many amps you are going to pull on the wire and the size of the wire a fuse is the safest way to go
Sois muy machos de inscribir, enseña como se instala,labrador.
disconnect the least important relay, im gonna do my horn. hold up u need that pimp
What was shown here isn't going to cause the horn to stop functioning...
If you connected to the post it won't turn on then right, then you will just have to reverse the position right respectfully asking
I love your voice
बहुत अच्छा लगा
I used pin one on the ac relay but when i turn on the ac in car the lights go off? Any help would be appreciated
Could you please show how to install running light in Pruis 07
Terimakasih petunjuknya bu ....
Very helpful, thank you
So I'm wiring lights, I put the wire in the number 1 slot for the horn but the light still turns on with the vehicle turned off. Any suggestions?
Thx.....
It helped me out alot....
I love your video and awesome 👏
How do I connect the right side with no fuse box?
Wow 😲very helpful 👍
It's actually genius if you want to keep the stock radio in your Honda but still have a system
Thank you
its use full video. but I have a doubt that why cant we connect LED's wire directly to the Horne's wire, instead of inserting into the relay. please advice me someone if I am wrong. Im not all good in this kind of work. but I want to install LED DRL lights to my car.
I would think an add a fuse would be better. you are protecting the wire with a fuse, also, you dont have a ghetto connection going on.
Ghetto connection? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A fire waiting to happen!
Very good
If I wire in switches to turn on interior leds is there a need to do the acc? Since I am in control of when they are on?
So do i have to connect the cable below the fuse or ia there spare wire
So the ground wire connects to battery ??
Thank you very helpful
im trying to connect a LED hood strip light to ACC. from the comments im NOT going to do what she did, but i have no background in cars. what do i need to attach the red wire to a spare fuse in the fuse box? i keep hearing "fuse tap" etc, is that what i need to connect the red wire to the fuse?
But will you be able to close the top to the fuse box now? Or will that new wire be in the way
That seems safe
I believe she is practicing the only way to get the right answer is to post the wrong answer approach to learning
How could I tap to ACC/12V of 2016 Camry? The current Video did not correct with the camry 2016..Please help
I think you can sue this lady if you shorted anything or were hurt while following her advice.
Very good and simple video. Easy to understand and well explained.
So does this really works? Still trying to figure this out.
i have a dayligh and night light. where should i put the night light wire?
i searched how to find a fuese box in friday the 13th and thise popped up XD
Thank you sister
what is the big black relay with a white label in the top middle?
The running lights will come on when the key is in run position and the engine is running and shut off when the key is off and engine stops running. it's automatic NO switch.
Does anyone know where the ACC in the fuse box of a 2008 Prius is?
I followed everything you said but when i turned the ignition on, my horn blared constant!
haha same, I shoved it on the taller relay that says FAN 02, drl turns on when ignition is on, turns off when its off, I did this for 3 yrs now,
Excellent!
Nice job idol
Keep safe blogging idol
If you do this.. just put a separate relay and fuse for safety....
Very helpful.
Thank you, you helped me so much.
Why not use a $6 SpyTec Hardwire fuse adaptor? Safer and you don't mess circuitry that may cause fire.
make sure to tap an unimportant fuse like your horn....
there's always an open slots in the dash fuse box inside the car. Use a test light to find which one comes on when on acc.
i did that for my dad car with the leds i got from your giveaway.
So it looks to me from the beginning of the video that these lights come with a relay system. If so, she's installing these incorrectly. The red power wire that she's tapping in to the fuse box should go to the battery positive (and the black to the battery negative as shown). There should be a separate trigger wire. This is the one that needs to go to an accessory circuit. It won't be powering the lights, just signaling them to turn on when the car is turned on.
Doing what she did will work, but it's not the safest choice or the most consistent source of power.
Lots of hate... Yes, it's a hillbilly solution but I think it should work just fine:
The OEM relay is fused, so there are no increased risk of fires. The contact should be just fine if done correctly (no bare wire outside the socket). Like the old saying goes: If it looks stupid and works, it's not stupid.
That being said, "add-a-circuit" is a better way to do it if a ACC fuse is available. You should also add a relay if the DRL has a high current draw, regardless of which method is used.
Take the Hill Billy out you yankee doodle .
Good info thanks
That makes no sense because in most cars you can use the horn without the key turned to accessory position.
She's 100% wrong telling abt "horn" , but right abt this relay , getting 12 volts while starting the engine and I checked it to be right.
where should I attach the yellow wire (the one for signal)?
baghdad special
Why take out horn relay? That is important.
