In this thread, I will be showing how I wired my LED footwells. There will be two parts, the first part is the LEDs will turn on with your Parking lights and the second part will also turn on with the Parking light but you have the option to turn it off and on.


Tools/ Materials

Zip Ties
Drill with Small Drill Bit
Mimi Add-A-Fise with ATM 5 amp Fuse
LEDs of your choice
Speaker Wires
T-Taps (Areas where I said add a T-Tap, you can solder the wires)

OEM Material for Part 2
- Honda Ambient Button (08E10-TA0-1M035)
- Honda Crosstour 3 Hole Garnish (77302-TA0-Y01ZA)
- Blank Cover (77755-SVA-A00ZA)

PART ONE



Add-A-Fuse attach to Fuse Box


Grounding Bolt behind


How to get behind Glove Box
- Open Glove box and empty your belongings




PART TWO


Let's start off by me showing you how to set up the button before all the wiring begins.

Make sure the Button is in this position or everything will go wrong

Pin 5- Positive, this completes the circuit for the on/off function
Pin 4- Power for switch
Pin 3- GROUND for Switch
Pin 2- Power/Live wire for illumination
Pin 1- GROUND for illumination



I had extra Pigtail pins from my Inspire Mirror Wiring so I used it for a clean install, but you can easily take the button apart to solder the wires directly to the pins.


Here is my final result, don't mind the button on the Blank Cover, that is my "Booty Call". (The red things you see is tape, the Blank Cover is loose so I added tape to tighten it up.



*** You can run the wire behind the center console through this opening

This is what I want to do it for couple more items in my car, first my demon eyes on headlight. So I can use same wiring set up, but would you able to draw a diagram for 3 way switch. One way stays on regardless, middle off and second way it will come on with parking lights.

Negative sir. That might require more then just wires. Might require resistors.

bump

any tips on running wire behind the center console? i can't do it to save my life lol

also, i plan to run power from the driver-side fusebox and ground from... a screw or something somewhere. any suggestions? should i just swap and get +/- from the passenger side?

Sorry been busy, get a long zip tie and start poking on one side and you should see it come out the other.

I could also just take the tray out so I can see, right?

There's a hole you can easily run wires through. When I did my Inspire mirrors I think I tied my wires around the end of a coat hanger and put that through the hole

ya the holes on the sides of the center.. I haven't had any luck lol I'm afraid that I'll puncture something

Thats why i said use a long zip tie. Its stiff enough to go through but not hard enough to puncture anything.
