well i have aquired some led strip lights and i am at a holt on how to wire them, basically i just want to run them from a switch which i will mount in the footwell (driverside) i get the basic principles of how to wire a single led strip with two wires (- +) but their are 4 wires in this case because i am using two led strip lights , and i am unsure on how to wire it could someone please help.
ive drawn a very very basic diagram of a top view of the car bonnet and windshield if someone would kindly join the wires for me it would be greatly appreciated:happy:

havent looked at the pics but if your doing, what im assuming your doing, i would join the (+) and (-) of both LED strips then run the (+) to your switch and then to (+) power souce and the (-) straight to ground...too easy!

yeah its all good dude,was doing my head in eairlier on, couldnt figure it out for the life of me, 10 minutes of google fixed that, just unpluged the parker light and poked the (+) (-) wires into the terminal ,taped it up and left it unpluged, the led strip is now my parkers, dodgy as f*&k but works. infact i cant believe it was that easy..
