[complete noob] Footwell Lights

[hks180]

so im a tad stuck again.
Leo sent me the two LED strips and 4 connectors, do i need to use 2 connecters per single strip? or can i get away with just the one.

and im also unsure which wires on the connectors are positive and negative..

but i had a good look/play around in the passengers side footwell just before, and spotted the wires you posted Sean

Hey Simon

gave you 4 connectors as i was thinking you going to cut the strip in half and do the front and rear. But you only need one connector per strip ..

thanks Leo i was just about to PM you regarding this.
i think everything has been explained in this thread now, going to have another crack/look tomorrow

im getting a little frustrated... and beer is not working to calm me down.

i've identified the wires that Sean has given me, i've hooked the wire taps up, trying both wires and nope, not working.

im hoping i have the correct wires to the courtesy lights. im going to have a look in the owners manual later tonight just to make sure

Flip the connector over as you might just have the positive wire going into the negative pin on the LED strip. If this is the case you will get no output as the diode will not allow it.

For the LED strip to work, you must wire the positive wire to the positive pin of the LED strip. Have noticed that none of the strips identify which is which but if it doesnt work generally flipping the connector over works.
