i have an alarm and it has one LED light in the dash but i want to install 3 going down the pillar next to the front window…all i would have to do is buy the LED bulbs i like, drill the holes, and splice into the wires for the current LED?
Should. I don’t know what the volts are off an alarm system for those but it should work.
should be just fine so long as the LEDs you get are the same spec as the one that came with it. I gaurantee it is 12v so the only thing you would have to look at is getting LEDs with low electrical resistance, then again the worst that could happen is you get dim LEDs.
safest way will be to hook the LEDs up in parallel. Try to check the voltage on the line first though and see if the lutput to the included LED is already knocked down to 3.5V or so, or if it is a 12V and the LED has a resistor.
Actually, the additional LEDs need to be wired in series.
They could be wired either way actually however series (one wire does not get cut) would be best becuase you wouldn’t have a delay between the first and 3rd would be small but still
First thing you need to do is find out if more LEDs can be added to the LED output of the alarm you have, and if you can , you must get the proper LEDs, and no they may not be 12V LEDs, they could be any voltage 12V or below, maybe 3V, and when adding LEDs to an alarms LED output they are almost always wired in series.
Installing the wrong LEDs or wiring them improperly can and will cause damage to the alarms LED output.
Most alarms allow for up to 3 extra LEDs to be added to the alarms LED output.
What is the make and model of your alarm?
There are other options for adding more LEDs, all but the one particular to your alarm will require them to be wired to other then the LED output, so they will not be controlled by the alarms LED output. :whisper:94
Hi there,
I don’t know for sure if this would help.led strip lights But I know that LED Light Bars Outfitters sells light bars, both interior and exterior. flexible led strip Good Luck.
