    so here's what I'd like to do.

    Install some more interior lights since my dome light is rather dim and I'd like more visibility in my car.

    I have space for switches, so that's not an issue.

    The issue is how do I wire the lights to the switch?

    It's going to be a pretty hefty quantity of LEDs and a regular on/off toggle switch.

    Thanks in advance!

    Most LED's run straight off 12V. Just put a resistor in line with the battery so the power has somewhere to dissipate.

    nope, I didn't...at this point I'm trying to get some junk outside to get controlled inside.

    I figured out how to do it thanks to Jeff (mckenzietj), so when I get around to it I'll let you know.
