I wouldn't worry about it too much. I never unplug my cell phone charger or my ipod adapter. Both light up pretty bright, and I've never had any issues.

I will go down now, though, and try connecting the LED to that wire and see if it works. It would make it better if I didnt need to turn it on with a separate switch.
My LED's are connected to the "Dimmer" wire and I have no issues. The LED's even brighten and dim with the switch...Regards

Well, I tried hooking it up to the same wire going to my gauge light, and it did not work. I will try taping into the other wire when I get a chance. For now, the switch aint so bad.

So, what do you think of the light?????+ And the painted chrome piece around the shifter????? and "The Flash" light?????
