Wireing issue help needed
I installed LED driving lights and I am having a issue with them not working. I tested the lights so they do work, Do I have to run a separate ground from the lights and switch, I ran both to the same ground wire Help. thanks

1 WAY
LED LITES (some) ONLY WORK IN ONE WAY.....
YOU NEED TO MAKE CERTAIN THE + GOES TO +, AND - NEGATIVE TO - NEGATIVE....
IF YOU FLIP-FLOP THE WIRES, THEY DON'T WORK...
HOW DO I KNOW.... duh, it's happened to me... luckily you won't burn them out if you cross-wire them... just change the two wires from one side of your connection to the other....
GOOD LUCK & HOPE THIS HELPED....

LED lights can be fussy about how the positive and negative wires are attached..
Try reversing your leads, and see if that lights them up!

Okay I separate the switch ground wires and the light grounds wire , retested the lights they work. I have power and a good ground from the switch. Now I may have to find another place to ground the lights. ill tackle that tomorrow.

Yes or no
You got me more confused then when I started this . just kidding .can I use any wires coming out of the plug to power the my lights including the ground......I have tried several times to run a wire up to the battery and cant get through, I don't want to drill holes in the frunk so there must be another source of power. thanks
