Help with wiring line lock and Interior lighting to switch panel First thread here and I need some help. I have an SLP line lock and also have some LED light strips that plug into a cigarette lighter. Now I would like to wire the line lock to a switch panel for added safety/arming purposes. I've never done wiring in a car however, I am not new to creating circuits it has just been a while.
I plan to wire the Line lock into my arming switch, and then from there wire it to a momentary switch button, and for the cigarette adapter lights, I'd like to hardwire the lighting straight to a separate switch to turn them off and on, because as it stands now, the lights go on when I plug the adapter into the cigarette lighter, and to turn it off, I have to unplug it.
I would love some help, what materials would I need, do I need any relays or anything else? If I'm missing anything please let me know.

If I remember correctly wiring in the line lock was a fairly straight forward task. I've mounted mine in the ashtray with the I have an arm switch and an momentary switch and led mounted in there. It's tight but out of sight. I just grabbed a 12v hot source from the fuse panel and ran it to the switch.
The led lights won't have much of a power draw and should be easy to piggy back on the headlight switch. So when you turn on the head lights they come on or are you wanting something more extensive like when you unlock the car the lights come on with the interior lights?
I'm sure I've seen threads in here that address both wiring tasks you have laid out. If you need or would like to see how I've got my switches placed let me know and I'll go to the storage unit and snap a photo or two.
