I just checked out the LED lights at superbright, going to order 10 tomorrow. Did you use 2 per cup holder? I am also wondering how you tied all the 3' wires on each light together. Did you extend and run all the wires to one location and then feed the power from the toggle switch? Or is it as easy as twisting them all together and crimping to power supply wire? Sorry about all the questions, just think what you did looks great.

I actually drilled a small hole on each cupholder (where the side and bottom meet) and glued the LED to that. As for the power, I ran 2 wires (hot/ground) all around the boat to a switch and wired the switch to a fuse block I installed under the dash. I then connected my fuse block hot terminal to the accesory battery via a 12vdc/30A relay so the fuse block only works when the key is in ACC or RUN position (prevents me from leaving lights by accident). My relay is also connected to the ignition switch and that is where it gets it's signal from to turn on the fuse block.
I then just connected the LED's to the ground and hot wires than run all around the boat.

Sounds a lot more complicated than it really is. I think I have a drawing of my LED circuit I would be more than happy to share. I will upload it as soon as I get home tonight.

Thanks, I would appreciate any drawing or help. it's supposed to be 104 degrees here in south carolina this weekend, too hot for the lake. Good weekend to work on the boat in the shade.
