[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1187653, member: 11896"] we need the year of your car to know what wire colors to recomend. Understand that you NEED to test EVERY wire to be sure its the correct wire prior to hooking into circuits that some random dude on the net told you to do. This is really true for any wire you are tapping and with 15 yrs in the install biz I can swear to you I always have checked any wire I was connecting too. No there is no need for resistors or capacitors. The over-ride switch is just a switch, nothing special. There are a bunch of different types but honestly any type would work. Find a style/color/size you like and we can tell you what to connect too. As for fuses that will depend on what you bought. Somewhere one the unit or in the instructions there should be a Current rating in either amperage or millamps(A mA) or a fuse as well. Take the current ratings that you find and multiply them by the number of strips you are connecting too. So if you see they have a max current rating of 3 amps and you are hooking 4 of them up you need a 12 amp fuse. you will not find a 12A fuse but in reality a 10A will do just fine as they should not be drawing much current at all.
