LED light bar installation help

[dinkygreg]

I am trying to add LED light bar in the trunk and need your help. I tried to tap directly into the trunk light wires using some taps, but the LED bar won't light up. My Camaro has a standard cigarette lighter male plug and LED light bar works fine when I plug it into the cigarette lighter, but it's not practical. Just wondering should I get enough power from the trunk light wires to power the LED bar?

Thanks for your help.

Are you sure you got the polarity correct?

Did you fix this issue in the end as I have a similar problem?

Have you made sure the wire connection throughout is tip top? Sometimes a single charge throughout the car, most importantly the trunk light might be dubbed down to power other lights such as the dashboard, interior lamp and/or lights tucked inside the door panels.
