probably what you wanna do is run the red and clack wires along your hood inside the hood til you get to the end by the ninges. then into the car to a toggle switch . Just be sure you have a constand hot and good ground. it's pretty easy. you need to wire the ground(black) to any ground wire. then run the Hot(red) to a toggle switch(remote) then run a constant/power source to the other prong on the toggle switch. then flip the switch to ensure the wiring is good. to test it out. just connect the red to the positive on the battery and the black to the negative before you put them on the car.

I hooked mine up to the turn signals. Just ran the wires from the washer lights to the parking lights and hooked them up there.

a hole? to where? what?
If you are talking about drilling a hole, stop. now.
Just run the two wires from the LED's and run them through the firewall. Simple. I put a switch in my dash next to the cruise control button to turn them on along with a blue light above my deck. Be creative.

Yeah there should be a small hole already there in the firewall...just enough room for the thin washer lights wires to fit through

i believe if u jack up the car and remove the fender liner for the front wheels, u can see wires that go thru a hole in the firewall. also, if u have an auto, there should also be a hole for where the clutch linkage should be

When I got my Alarm installed they drilled a hole in my firewall. I just ran it through there. I'd probably do that. and besure to cover the lining of the whole with puddy.

yeah, i hooked them up to my turn signals, i just tapped into the corresponding turn signal bulb and ran the "hot" wire from there to the LED washer light.

first thing i did was hook them up to the battery or the cigarette lighter and make sure they light up. no point of installing them if they don't light up. then i masked mine off and painted the chrome to match my car (a lil added touch) then i installed the nozzels and aimed em too.

ok now for the wiring. i took the wires and ran em thru the hood to the drivers side. i have a hole in my firewall (drilled one) where the clutch linkage should have came out. so yea ran the wires thru the firewall (don't forget a grommet to line the hole) and then i found a bolt in the interior fuse box and grounded the black wire there. then i took the red wire and ran that to my siwtch location. i then added a 3 amp fuse and hooked up tghe light to the switch. then i hooked up another red wire to the other terminal of the switch (mine had 2, some have 3 for a light or something)and ran that all the way to the red side of the battery and hooked things up there.

good part, if i mess up the wiring i won't mess up my car's electrical system.

bad part, if i forget to turn the lights off, i drain the battery. but remember that these are just LED's and use so little current that it would take about a week of them on constantly without u starting the car for the battery to drain up
