Thinking of adding some LED lighting to the Pantera II. Where should I get my power feed from? Tap in to the locker lights power feed? Run a new wire from the back? Some where else?Dan

We would use the Accesssory switch and turn power on though it. It should handle 5 amps.

Unless it has LEDs in the boxes already, you cant tie an LED into them or replace them with an LED. Has something to do with the switches and the alarm. But yours should probably have the LEDs in there?13 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

I may feed the power source for the one light from the existing LEDs and switch things around where I can switch the other 2 lights from the ACC switch on the dash. I have thought about adding some lights on the front deck, but I just doubt I would ever use them.Dan

I put LEDs in both rod lockers in my Cougar. I just spliced into the existing locker light wires. The LEDs come on when I open the lids, just like the regular lights do. Never had an issue with them.

I put LEDs into all of my storage compartments in my P2. I tapped power from the in dash 12 volt accessory outlet and added an on/off switch.
