I’ve actually needed to manually splice before. For those wondering he meant you’re only removing the plastic cover around the light wire (source of power) not cutting through the wires. You use the splice to and move it clockwise and counter clockwise around it until you can see the metal wire beneath and then pull gently away from each other to expose the wire, then wrap your wire around that, secure and twist it, and tape it off with electric tape. You are moving the plastic on that light, NOT CUTTIING THE WIRE through.

@@adamchakkour5722 yes. if he taps into the foot lighting, anything connected to that will be powered when they are powered, off when they're off (assuming they don't have a controller, basically a light switch for a car). If you want them to stay on, tap into a wire (i recommend a fuse tap to the fuse box, cost $9, plugs straight into the fusebox, you can use a free slot, or a used one, as the tap has an extra slot for slots already in-use. 1 fuse is for the LED-lights usually a 2-3 amp fuse, LEDs and Fiber use so little power. you can power several hundred LEDs on 3 amp fuse, the 2nd is for if you tap into a slot already used for say, dome lights. an empty slot could be for a sunroof while your car doesn't actually have a sunroof, like in my car, i tapped my lights into a empty slot that receives power when the car is on) if you want to turn them off/on, you can find a fuse or accessory that already does this the way you want, or you can buy a controller (light switch) and put it between power source and the lights themselves.

Looks great lit up. I would consider wrapping the parts of the wire under the steering wheel in electrical tape so you don’t see the light coming from there and adding a switch in the footwell where you had done the wiring so you can disable it if you don’t want it lighting up. To make the coat hanger part easier I might feed the coat hanger down from the top and then tape the light to it and pull the coat hanger back out with the light attached. Nice work!

It actually lights up at the perfect times when connected to the footwell. It turns off during the daytime unless the doors are open. It stays on at night. Personally i like that. Also I used the self-stripping connectors that he recommended against and it worked out fine for me, took maybe 30mins to route the EL wire and another 15 minutes to do the electrical with the snap connectors and hide all the visible wire. Edit - There's a way to turn manually turn off the light from the uconnect settings but it turns off the footwell light aswell

Personally, I remove dash panels or center console plastics etc, rather than using a hanger or wire fishers. Plastic panels are mostly held on by clips, and you can more diligently route wires and reduce risk of damaging them if they get caught on anything under the panels..and if you do it this way, you can better cut wires to correct lengths edit: i would also suggest using a fuse-tap and connecting to the cabin fusebox...you can jump off other 12V wires, but a fuse-tap isolates the extra wires, and gives them their own fuse to protect the lights/car from damage, and you dont have to cut into any OEM wires etc...
@boostinman7132

Pro tip: when feeding the wire, put the coat hanger downward through the area you want the wire to come out, then attach the wire so all you have to do is pull the coat hanger back out the top so the wire comes with it. Don't attach the wire before feeding it through the area because then you are just trying to shove something twice as large through a whole when you have no idea where that hole is going. You could easily stretch or break a wire from the shifter this way. Also, cut that connector and solder the wire in. This ensures that the wires will not come apart and don't give direct power to something you don't want to short out. Lol. Other than that, great video

Wow... it looks great when lit up... and good when not lit in daylight (I agree with the other "HEMI Orange" comments). BUT... why didn't you cut the EL wire (it's not fiber optic BTW) at the end of the dash on the right and solder wires and run them down to the center console and reconnect the rest of the EL wire down there? Two things this adds... 1) no red light inside the dash (which drives me crazy)... and 2) easier wire to run between the dash and center console (which shouldn't have taken more than a minute to run). I have to give props for trying this without knowing anything about EL wire. BTW - I don't care what other KZitemr's use... don't ever use wire taps... solder and heat shrink... OR... good 'ol twist and tape will always be better than that garbage. And just a tip on the "noise" it was making when it started working (after your wrap and tape method)... EL wire uses high voltage / low amperage to stimulate the wire coating and create the cool glow you like (the high frequency noise you hear is the voltage regulator inside that black brick generating the higher voltage). So.... that fancy scissor cut you made next to where your right elbow may rest while driving... may stimulate you a little more than you expect... especially if you are a little wet and touching any metal in the car. It won't kill you... but it could make sure you "were awake". Just food for thought :) Keep learning as you go (as I always say). Trust me when I say I have blown up perfectly good "brand new" car electrical systems due do mistakes or oversight... you live and you learn... and this is a good learning lesson for you and your viewers. Proud of you for not being afraid... experimenting with different wiring technology (even if it sucks)... and trying different lighting tech that you haven't used before. Be well... stay safe and healthy. Crazy times out there now. Cheers!

You can buy something called fish tape to feed the wire easily thru the center instead of using that coat hanger. I’m an electrician and when we pull wire thorough conduit, if the wire is being difficult, we feed the fish tape through the conduit, tape it using electrical tape and then pull the fish tape back and it allows us to pull the wire easily. Fish tape is basically like a plastic wire idk how to explain it but you can just look it up.

Great video. Just some advice since I use to install interior and exterior led flow lights on vehicles, if you put the wire hanger through the middle console from the top first then tape the light to it and pull through it's easier and quicker. Also there are a few different ways you can connect the power wires. Fuse box, Stand-alone switch, and cigarette lighter. The one I always went with was a standalone switch which also gives you the option of hooking up multiple interior lights like aftermarket footing lights. Just make sure you wire in an inline fuse before splicing it to a power source or just wire it to an empty fuse port in the fuse box since most cars have non-essential ports that can be utilized. Once again great video and I'll be watching out for other videos of yours like this one.

Holds me over until I find an idea where I don't think I'll ruin the car myself, lol. But I will say, if you've wired a sub to an old car before, makes this job seem quite a bit easier. Stuffs harder on these newer more technically advanced cars but this one seems easy enough, and actually gives me an idea on how to wire under seat lightning.

Way easier to use something like a ruler to pry open the gaps and feed the wire right behind it. You can just run the ruler and wire along the gaps and it'd be done in just a few minutes. Also, those "easy" snap clips are meant to go on a much thicker (feeder) wire than the ones your were trying to snap them to. If the instructions don't clearly show that then they've been miss-sold to you, an easy way for the seller to make a few more quick bucks.

YOU DON'T NEED ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL STUFF HE SAYS IN THE BEGINNING BESIDES THE EL WIRE KIT. Just use the wiring from the cigarette lighter, like he does, and save your money. Although this video is amazing and very helpful, there were a few things he didn't mention that I feel are important when doing this. 1. Like I just stated, don't buy the extra crap he mentions at the beginning, you wont need it. 2. When hard wiring the light, I used wire butt connectors. Working in that small area with little to no wiring is a mother fucker. 3. Strip back the stupid carpet on the wires to the light under the drivers side. that way you can really get your hands on the wires and separate them, as well as expose enough of the copper wiring to be able to work with. 4. I disconnected my battery when working with the wiring because I didn't want to get electrocuted, so idk if he did or not, all I know is I wasn't gonna risk it haha. 5. I saw some people commenting on him using scotch tape, I tried duct tape because I figured it would be better, DON'T DO THIS! It is too thick and you won't be able to fish it through, it will get stuck. So use the scotch tape and secure it at multiple points to the wire. 5. AND FINALLY he doesn't mention it and I figured it out on my own after the fact, but before pulling the wire through the center console or even messing with that, make sure you run your wiring down through the steering wheel center so you don't have to pull it all back out through the center console after spending forever fishing it through to do so, like i did haha. It has to be ran through here so that it is hidden behind the steering wheel and then connects to the center console towards the back. If you forget it will run down the steering wheel console on the outside and will look crappy. Overall killer video, looks amazing when done, but boy is it alot of work that requires alot of patience as well as flexibility!

For anyone trying to do this save yourself the frustration and pull the center console out rather than using the clothes hanger. You can put the car in neutral so you can pull the front of the center console out enough to reach through the hole that you’ll be passing the wire through

Easiest way is on fuse box that is connected to anything that turns on e.g. door opening, headlights, mine were powered on when I put lights on, seen as I woudnt be using it in day anyway, and went around cup holders inside imo looked good there, cup holders required slight modification where a hole on sides allowed strip to go in and out, then around etc but imo it didn't look all that, looked good but cheap overall and if doing again would consider other options but that's just my opinion on it 👍😎

First, thank you for this very informative video! I really enjoyed seeing ya do the entire process thoroughly. I was wondering if you Can you do a video on how you took apart the 12v adapter prior to hooking up the wires ? I tried looking up videos but I’m more interested as to how you did it. Thanks in advance !

Just unscrew the top of the adapter and pull out the wires. It’s that easy. Once you have the wires pulled, you can strip them as needed.

The only way to make the quick snap connectors work is to use wire pliers to smash the blade down over the wires, then close the plastic snap over it. Didn’t know if you tried that or not. Most people think you push the plastic flap over the blade with your fingers to make the connection. That doesn’t work.

Should be able to. If you have a footwell light you could check. Essentially you want to find a light that will turn on when it gets dark or is always on - the footwell light on my car works that way but you could use another source.

The wire tappers are normally for thicker wiring and most likely why it didn't work. You would have to get some for very thing gauge wiring. Your solution was easier and you run a lower risk if completely cutting the cable.

I have used the quick snap connectors when installing a backup cam, they do work but the metal isn't strong enough to strip the insulation. Use something like a knife to expose the wire then it will work.

Next time you can use a butt connector. All you do is each exposed end in heat it up, it has solder inside of a heat shrink. The solder will melt and the heat shrink will protect your connection. Way better and more reliable than tape. Plus, they are super cheap.
