        I bought some of these to install in the boot - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F132092635821
        They're really bright and I've had no problems with them at all

            I stuck one under the parcel shelf support and just clipped the wires into the existing boot lamp bulb holder. No fuse problems at all.

              I wonder if it would work the same if I clip them onto the side lights

                        Would be safer using a relay. Might be to much load for side light wires with all the warning systems

                          Nice one bud......if not using a relay as Alex421 has said, at least fit a line fuse

                                Yeah, I'm not that clued up with electrics as I've been making obvious lately! Just melted those LEDs, not the car at least, do you know which exact relay would work? Do you have a link?
