Are you referring to electrical connection/install? If so then splice the lights in the negative line (black wire) side of your existing lights as a continuous flow of current. Thats how I hooked them up on my last boat. Flyswatter

So both wires on the blue water strip to the hot side on the lights?Mike Caponigro Cary, IL 2010 Jaguar/ Merc 250 Pro XS http://www.xtremek9.com

I did get them working, but I did not test the security system. I T-Tapped into a hot connection (white/ red stripe) and then used a t-tap to connect the other wire into the pressure switch. It works fine, but tomorrow I will see if the Security System still works. You can remove all bulbs except the one closest to the pressure switch.

Glad you got it working and they look great. Did you figure it out yourself?Jim EbarbMany, LA (Toledo Bend Lake)2004 Cougar/ 225 OptimaxHumminbird Helix 12 Chirp SI on BalzOut Mount at bowLowrance HDS 7 at bowHumminbird Helix 12 Mega SI on Ram Mount at ConsoleLowrance HDS 8 in dash at console

I checked the security system and it works fine. I figured out that I needed to find the “Hot” wire in each compartment in order to get the LEDs to work with the pressure switch. I used a T-Tap on the hot wire and one at the pressure switch. I connected one lead from the LED to the T-TAP on the hot wire and the other to the T-TAP on the pressure switch. I found that you have to leave one bulb intact in each compartment for the lights to work. It”s kind of like the christmas tree lights (LOL). Anyway, everything turned out.Mike Caponigro Cary, IL 2010 Jaguar/ Merc 250 Pro XS http://www.xtremek9.com

Mike great install. I only see one problem, affording everything to fill the compartments. Those boys at BassPro or Cabelas are going to be happy to see you coming through the door.
