Can I use this switch to activate under hood LED lights? I would like lights to come on when hood is open.

Yes you can. We used ours in a tool box in our pickup truck. When the lid is lifted it turns on our LED lights.

Yes. Assuming your electrical system is negative grounded, you're just gonna use this to open and close the ground side of the circuit. Much like most switches when you open the car door and the dome light comes on

Yes you can! The pin switch will give you a ground when your hood is open !

The switch can be used for that using the ground wire. That is what I used to activate my under hood led light.

Russell,You can hook-up a switch to the lights. Mine when on my motorcycle and are connected to my running lights. When those go on the LEDs go on.

Probably. It would be the easiest way to make these work for you. If your vehicle doesn't have factory LED's, then you will blow a fuse. Fast flashing (hyper flashing), and an error code could happen, too. After that, you'll have to buy a different relay and/or sockets to make these or other LED's work, including a fuse. Low quality LED's might work, but they would not put out much light, so it would not be worth it.

Yes from the first one I got it seem there is an option for "L" switch for Light fixture Outlet usage and "O" for not light usage. "L" switch will sense ambient light and not turn on while "O" will turn on the outlet when it detect motion. My seem bad I order a replacement as it not sensitive on my garage. There is a timer to set from 2 minutes to up at max at 6 minutes.

I put IT TO the fuse box to the key when you turn it on the light come on, they become running lights it works for me, look good try it, put it to the fuse box inside the car, not the one under the hood ok. this will work, it work for me. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU, (HAVE A BLESS DAY )

hello, why would you do that ? never interrupt the neutral wire, neutral is ground. to have "this switch" work you need to be connected to a ground to complete the circuit for the led.

No. You will have to wire in a switch or else add the LED lights to an existing switched circuite

Not sure i understand your question. The setup you describe is what this product is designed to do. I setup my exterior light that way. It works great. For an interior light not sure why you want this setup. Isn't there a motion light switch that can do something similar.

You can get a relay for led light at any auto parts store that will work got mine at advance auto parts.

I would day it is best to use a relay, unless youuse aheavy dutyswitch. Most switches are not designed to handle a load running through them, even though these lights only use about 5 amps to run both.

Probably the easiest thing to do is get a t/s flasher for LEDs. Got mine at orieleys auto parts. Just swap the flasher and your good to go.

I dont see why you cant.just hook up the positive and negative wire and you should be good to go.the led lights draw hardly any power.they are great lights and good people to deal with. Good luck

Hi Denton...should work, my install is behind a double switch plate with one traditional switch and this timer. This works well with LED lights, it has a battery to assist the switching action because of the small amount out electricity for operation. Others will not work on low voltage lights.Joe

Only if you want the spot light or the front light on at different times, not both at the same time. Hook power to center screws, spot light on top or bottom & front light to other screws. I use my switch to change the source of power for my construction trailer lights from the truck to a battery pack.

You'll need to purchase a wiring harness if you want them on a toggle switch. I spliced them into my reverse lights so I didn't use a wiring harness

Should be able to. Only problem with the automatic switches sometimes is if the bulb were fluorescent, and these aren't fluorescent.

Well I don't know how familiar you are with cars but LEDS don't draw much power. With that being said you do not have to always wire them directly to the battery. If it is easier for you all you need is a 12volt source to tap into and a ground source. If you installed the control box inside the car the you could use the 12volt memory wire behind your radio to power the underglow kit. If it's an aftermarket radio most of the time the wire is yellow. For the ground the wire should be black on an after market radio.
