Can you tap into your dome light so that when you open the doors or whatever all the LEDs will light? and if so How do you do that??

just wire the LEDs in to the wire going to your dome light. it may be the negative wire that is on the switch so you should test that.

i tried that but i found that to just have the LEDs on a switch is better then u can use ur domelight as usual too. i didnt try much but i couldnt figure out my domelight on how to do what ur saying because i tried the same thing. heres sum pix of mine, i just ran sum wires under the headliner and hooked it to a switch.

I did this also, but with 12 red LED's - lights up my interior very well. I'll try to get some pictures tonight and get them up here...

Sup yes you can do that but here's the trick LED's cannot handle 12+dirrect current they will burn out. You need to use resistors with them and the right value resistors so that the resistor brings down the current going through it. I make these lighting sequechers and spechtrums check out my ride and you,ll see what im talking about. check my ride here http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/358465 if you have any question email me. Remember you must add resistors to the LED's otherwise your wasting yout time good luck peace
