    Wish someone would actually do a proper install video start to finish all these videos I seen is people talking as if you know how to wire and connect to fuses kxglow doesn’t even have a proper install video either

      That’s because you don’t need to know how to wire anything to install it. They sell a 12V lighter adapter to power it, for those who want simple. Everything is plug and play, so all you do is plug in the lights to the module and tuck and hide wires. Their documentation is really bad but all the connectors are the same so you can connect them literally any which way. I originally filmed the install but I modified my connectors so it got too in the weeds for a generic install video. The rest was all routing wires which was pretty boring to watch.

      @@Jay-oe2od when I did mine, I used a multi-meter to find a 12V source that was active while the car was on. For mine, that was the Wi-Fi module that was buried in the center console. I’m not sure what car you have, but I used to tap into the 12V line that ran to the windshield wipers on my previous cars. That line is always on, so you have to wire it with a switch so you can turn it on and off. Are you putting a different controller for the door and footwell lights? For mine, I just used a single controller for all the 12V lights and just wired them all together with extender cables.

      @@marriedwithteslas I have a dodge charger I figured out how to take the door off maybe I should look into that meter u mentioned but xkglow does a poor explanation on what to do they basically said I’ll need a switch for all four doors and I don’t see a way to easy access the switch because at that point it will be inside the door so if they ever need to get replace taking the doors off will be a hassle I’m borderline probably not going to do it for that reason alone

      @@Jay-oe2od nah, I wouldn’t waste the time on switching every door. I’d just do a single switch to turn the controller on and off and directly connect all the door lights to the controller. I think they may be suggesting putting each door on its own controller because they’re big on being modular. Some people want different lights to be on different zones in the app so they can be different colors. The 12V controller has 2 outputs, each one is its own zone. So if you want, you can do all the door lights on one, and the floor lights on the other one. That would be just fine from an electrical perspective but it’ll give you more control on the colors in the end. I did the math at one point and you can put a couple dozen lights on a single controller without any problems. It’s just up to you if you want each light to be controlled independently or controlled together. If you want independent control, then each light will need to be on its own zone.
