Im wiring in a led light in place of the dome light and it will not work unless it has a 12v power source but i want it controlled by the door pin swith like the dome light used to be... Also would anybody know where the power for the dome light is reduced in power? maby i can just tal=ke that out of the loop Re: dome light [Re: salvo] #681757 01/02/06 07:05 AM Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 282 Anchorage, Alaska Toy Story Mudrunner As far as I know all Toyota dome lights operate off of 12V. If you are only getting 5-6V I would suspect a wiring problem. What is the vehicle? Is there some kind of dome light dimmer switch maybe? 85 Toyota SR5 Xtra Cab P/U Re: dome light [Re: Toy Story] #681758 01/02/06 07:12 AM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler Yep, should be 12V to the light. It should be a straight contant power wire to the light then it grounds through either one of the door switches or through the manual switch on the light itself. Maybe someone installed an alarm or something that is wired into the door switches. I run a 12V/1W Luxeon LED in my '85 dome light and it works fine: r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: dome light [Re: 4Crawler] #681759 01/02/06 07:44 AM Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 143 Terrace, BC S salvo OP Wheeler great not what i wanted to hear... guess ill have to go trace the system and see why im only getting 6v to the dome light and the map lights... both running seperat wires but im assuming a common source....
