I was originally looking at the heated seat fuse slot (w/o heated seats) to run higher power driving lights.

I am going to run some LEDs in the front bumper for DRL and want to find an easy switched power to tap into near the trunk.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am going to run some LEDs in the front bumper for DRL and want to find an easy switched power to tap into near the trunk. I was originally looking at the heated seat fuse slot (w/o heated seats) to run higher power driving lights. But these LEDs only have total current draw <1A and suggestions? Headlight washers?

POST 2Original post

I did this recently. I found a 12v source near the battery. Which lights did you get. Some of the cheap (less expensive) ones are blue rather than white and bright.

POST 3Original post

I jumpered the high side of the seat heat fuse to both right and left parking/street/tail lights and then used that as a voltage source for LED DRLs.

POST 4Original post

OP, I don't believe there is 24V power point in the car, it's a 12V system vehicle and shouldn't have 24V pick up points.

POST 5Original post

I'm looking to do this as well. Can anyone provide details and photos?

You are right, s/b 12V

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can you provide specifics on the 12V switched source near battery? I am experimenting with several LED lights, looking at flexible strip type that I can hide. Haven't seen any real LED DRL lights made to fit our 996 though and I don't really like the short 6" lights with housing.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
