FCT5 Prewire for LEDs

[scarbs]

I am wiring LED light rings for my Rev10s. It appears that the only pre wiring for lighting are the wires for the overhead light and the anchor/navigation light. Am I missing something or do I have to run new wires if I want LED light rings independent from the overhead lights?

Long answer short- Depends. Which LEDs are you running, single color or RGB? The nav and I think even light for overhead docking lights were there (I just did my '12) plus speaker is pre-wired. If you are looking for RGB color, that's definitely not there and you're gonna have to thread that yourself. If you're looking for just a single color and no independent or audio control you could pull off the other light's wiring, but you'd have to have the nav light on whenever you had the speaker lights on

Thanks. That's what I figured. But hoped there was a trick of which I was unaware. I'm only running single colored lights and already tied into the overhead light. I hoped that if I hit the manual switch on the tower for the overhead lights that maybe the overhead light would turn off but the LEDs would remain on. No luck. Both turn off when I press the button. Oh well. It was worth a shot.
