I didn't feel like buying a project box from Shady-o Rack, and since this thing is gonna be tucked up under my dashboard, I frankly don't care. So I made one out of MDF and hot glue :-P.

I put two screws on either ends for the power, ground, power for lights, and ground for lights, so I could just screw on the wires. Make sure to leave enough on the inside to account for the twisting (and start with the screws nearly fully tightened when you solder).

Find a nice comfy spot somewhere up under the console to put it. Screw down each of the wires to their respective contact, and tape the box securely so it won't rattle around.

can you skip this step if you just want continuous light? or does this modify the amperage or voltage?
