led lights

Postby jonnyboy1958 » Tue Mar 07, 2017 12:27 am

Does anyone know If I have to use a relay if using led lights in my camper conversion. I have not installed them yet as I am collecting all the parts I need then hibernate in the garage until I finish it lol! No, I have been buying parts when I can afford them and am close to starting the conversion but I read on another thread that a relay was used? Would this also be true about changing the cab courtesy lights?

I've not heard about using relays for LED's I just have mine running from a fuse board to the battery.

I've read you can also run them without fuses but I like to have a fuse in there.
