Default Installing LED Strips

Hey I was wondering if anyone had a videos or pictures to show how they installed their led's under the dash. I'm trying to install them so they light up when you turn the headlights on but I'm clueless with all the wiring. Thanks.

I actually just zip tied them to pieces under and wired them to a switch that I turn on and off because having on all the time produces too much interior glare IMO.

I wired them to the parking lights if I remember correctly so the toggle will only work when lights are on. Ran the wires through firewall behind battery already a grommet there

Do you have any pics of the way the wiring set up looks? I've seen different variations of people connecting the LED's so I don't know which way would be a little easier without having to rip apart half of the plastic to get access to the wires.

I connected them to the doors so they come on when the doors are open.

There's a thread about connecting them to the map/dome lights. That's what I did, turns on when I open the doors or hit the map/dome light. Or you could wire em to your head unit power so it's only on while the head unit is on
