I have one wire to connect to a feed that is on when the ignition is off and a wire to connect to ignition-on only feed. I was going to use sidelights/ headlights to keep it simple. Anyone know how to remove the dash and/or light switch housing? can i go straight to the fuses that are under the steering wheel? if so what do I connect to? anyone know how to accomplish this seemingly easy task? It's supposed to be a 5 minute job but is annoyingly fiddly. this isn't my strong point! Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You may be able to use Scotch connectors. I used to buy mine from Halfords.
They help when trying to crimp two wires together or splicing one wire onto a fixed wire.
If you can, try to run it via an in-line fuse as a protection device.
Did the Fake LED not come with printed instructions to aid the installation?
If you don't feel confident to accomplish this yourself, ask a local mechanic to do it. Some only charge £20 for an hours work.
You don't want to cut or damage a wire that you later rely on.
It's also a good idea to know what the wires connect to so a Haynes manual might be an investment. that should give you wiring schematics.
But at the end of the day, it's only going to cost you £20 as it's less than an hour's work...
