I'm adding LED's to the sun roof switches so they illuminate when the lights are turned on. I'm tapping power from the same line that gives the other switches power on PIN 6.

Now, I know the line is 12v so I ordered LED's with built in resistors that run at 565NM, 1.7VF and I was wondering if there are more amps than I expected running through this line because when I plug the lights in they go yellow on me.

Any electrical diagrams for interior lighting would be great!

 

So your connection is that line to ground, as opposed to adding the LED with resistor in series with the line?

The sunroof switches connect a ground to various points on the sunroof ecu, no plus volts for lights on them.

Not sure which pin 6 you decribe - which connector?

The interior lamps "hot" side is almost always red with brown wire. Attached schematics and connector views from the RAVE, you can download your own whole set in higher resolution.

 

What I did was splice that red/brown wire and ran it up the A pillar to the top of the head board and over to the front and middle sunroof switches and using the same terminal crimp I added the hot wire to pin 6 on the switchs(3) (same as the switches for the main windows) .

Now the LED's light up but they come in at a yellow haze. They aren't over heating or blowing out so either I'm not getting enough power or the resistance is too high (I'm assuming here, my multimeter is at work until Monday)

I was trying to figure out how much power that red/brown wire is running to figure out what is wrong.

This is the LED I'm using - LMG32D-12V-B: LED Green Diffusedti 565NM 1.7VF 19MCD: Sunled Corporation

And I got the crimps from some European Vehicle Wiring product company that sells the exact ones Land Rover used.

 

Where do the LEDs get ground? Black off sunroof switches would be good.

 

The LED's ground through PIN 1 "black" . They are pretty well designed for Land Rover haha

 

Found this, very similar to what I did but I think he used LED's from switches he pulled from another Rover, my goal is to find the LED's that Rover used so I can obtain new ones.

Well, the voltage control (dimmer) for the dash lights would impact this as well, so do you have 12 volts there? Or is dimmer turned way down?

Damn, I'm glad I don't have sunroofs.

 

I didn't tap from the dimmer, it is coming from the switches on the center console.

 

Did you ever figure this out? I am looking at attempting this soon.
