You can do your self. its ok to drive when these ligths are on as the lights are facing downwards.

Thanks.

If I can do it myself, how do i do it. I have never done anything in my car related to electrical by myself. [ Even though I do all my house hold electrical tasks myself ]

Is there any note or pdf about how to do it. My main fear would be from where I will get the power source. I know near the dash board only power source visible and reachable is the wire which lead to my music system.

Hi Varun,

Can you please provide the steps using photos. so that I can try.

Sethu
Hi u can find an pic regarding the wiring (pic might be little kiddish)

Here the red one denotes the power supply either u can get it from the parking lights, accessory socket (cd player power), or directly from the battery, & the black (negative) is flowing through out the car body you can connect them to any screws found around it ..using a switch is left to u either u can use or ignore it..So thr will be an flow of single wire (red) through out the wiring process.. if any queries pls get back..[thumbsup]

I hope this was helpful..
