    Diamante Rear Lights Wiring

    Hey Fellas I got a set of rear diamante lights i wanna wire in now.. I'm figuring I'd have to do a relay if I don't wanna blow any fuses..question is I wanna tap into the wiring that has turns on the front light when you unlock the car lock it when you open a door etc..would the dimming function for the rear lights still work if its on a relay?also would just a reg 30amp relay be fine its not gonna draw no were near that amount of power?

    the way i'm looking at it...pretty much the same as the headlight harness I made

    the trigger for the relay coming from the dome light is a switched ground.

    Why not just tap into the dome light wiring?

    those lights dont draw much so i highly doubt it that you gonna blow any fuses, jefflou and zobagel had those for a while and i believe they just tapped straight in the dome light and they never reported any problems, you can always replace the fuse with a slightly bigger one but that isnt needed

    if im wrong some please correct me

    Shouldnt blow a fuse at all. After all the neon lights ive installed in my car, the only time i ever blew a fuse was when i installed my HIDs, and 7in DVD player. And when the fuse did blow, it was a puny ass 7.5 amp for my dashboard lights.

    if you run a relay for the c-pillar lights, they are not going to dim with the dome lights.

    if you want things to work correctly, yes.

    You won't have to worry about blowing fuses. I've put plenty of neons, or other accessories off things like the cigarette light before without issues.
