Honestly this is not an Installation video. You are just explaining what you've done and not showing how to do it. Nice that you made it work but ppl who have never done this will not know how to take their cars interior apart to route wires and will have to go find other videos on "how to".
It's Impossible to find a "how to" for every model vehicle for installing LED fiber optics. Maybe next time search YOUR exact model of "how to" to disassemble interior trim (for your model) then go from there. This isn't rocket science, it's very easy to snake wires in and out of crevices to customize your own vehicle.
The problem is every car is different
your voice is very comforting, ive been checking this set out and in love with them cant wait for it to arrive
Haha I appreciate it. And it’s worth the wait!
i ordered the kit from them have to say the least i’m not impressed with the fiber optic kit is small and discrete but to install it is a pain. its to thick at the black base to fit in tight spots you have to cram it it there they should have made it super thin where you insert it. like the cheaper thicker stuff. it’s perfect for straight runs but any heavy curve forget it has no flex what so ever. the kit falls short as being great could be better and way easier to work with. just be aware when installing it fellas.
I am also planning to buy this, but I was just concerned about the reliability, how is it holding up for you so far?
Also how dim is it at night? I heard they are too bright, even with the lowest brightness setting, is it still not dim enough?
@@anikroy7529 please contact us on our ig page, after 3 years of installation its still great!
Where did you put the light connectors and cabling
@@SmallPaul. check my other installation videos
Hmm ... my car is an E90 LCI with beige door skins. They are beige throughout, only the piano lack trim is the different colour. I don't want to drill a hole and to be visible ... don't know how solve this problem so that it looks flawless.
thank you for explanation. though I have got one doubt. when we choose 5 in 1 means 5 ambient light? if so then just curious to know how they all will be connected altogether to central controller? and what is this 10 in 1 with 5 pieces? sorry bit confused from aliexpress. thanks in advance.
You didn't make a tutorial how you did it?
Did you cut a small hole in the trim to feed the wire thru and connect to the bulb?
Yep!
Ordering the same kit. Just wanted to ask:
Can fiber opic lines can be bent? Can they be cut?
Yes they can be bent, just not at really sharp angles. And they can also be cut!
Is there a difference in the brightness between lets say 2 or 6 cables. Or do I need a machine (Lamp) for every cord in order to be bright ?
U can only hook up one cord to each light
what's the reason behind putting electrical tape on the ends? Thanks
To prevent the light from showing on the corners
To wire it into the car try these tutorials. Note I haven't done it yet so it's up to you if you do it or not.

Can you please share the link for purchase... any newer version that you can recommend better quality and no bleeding?
Check my previous videos, link is in the description
Thank you sir
Got an A-class you reckon this would work?
Hello mate i have an E90 too. How many cables did you use? I was thinking 6 but unsure. Great vids btw hoping to get round to this soon. Do you have any photos/videos of your car with these lights fully installed and finished throughout the car? 👍
Hey man, I used 3 in total as of now. If you want to do your whole e90 i’d say 6 yes. No photos but i will take some and post on my instagram soon!
@@Azizdesign_ awesome! Trying to figure out where i'd put them, all in guessing you have 1 passenger door 1 driver door and 1 on the dash. Dont know where else i'd put them but i'll figure it out when the kit arrives! Awesome i'll give you a follow 👍
@@Azizdesign_ Making a glam video showing off the finished product during the day then at night would be awesome.
@@Lem_On_Lime great idea, i’ll create a youtube short to showcase it instead of a whole video 😅
Can you do it without the black tape on the ends? Looks kinda tacky
Hey man, you should watch my latest video. The new kit i review doesn’t need black tape or anything
fitment was decent but the light was so dim even on max brightness. just pulled it out and threw it back in the box
does it come with remote control if i buy the app option
Nope, only the app
@@Azizdesign_ what's the name of the app ??
Are these light strips bendable and cuttable?
Yes they are, but wont bend 90 degrees
The major problem I'm facing rn is the shipment because Aliexpress is banned in my country (India) by the govt. and I want these lights so badly! 😭
Damn sorry to hear that! unfortunately i don't think these are sold anywhere else on the internet
@@Azizdesign_ 🥲
I ordered via your link and I received them today, idk why but they are so crap 😭😭😭
Previously I was using EL wire in my car, saw your video and decided to get em. I received them today and the light is so weak.
Immediately near the led it’s very bright but 10cm down its so dull, idk If I’m doing something wrong
Shoot me a message on ig
How long did it take them to arrive?
i’m having the same problem, they suck and they’re super dim. i ordered the same link
You haven’t bought the newer led ones yet? I highly highly recommend them
Whats the link
Send the link let’s see!
Yo what’s the link?
Clown, what the link? 🤦♂️
what is the name of the application for the lighting kit from ali express ?
The kit can be found here: azizdesignshop.ca/
No,no,no. The car have a source at every door. Why did you do that?
having sooo much trouble fitting the fiber optic cable into the crevices. I’m afraid to break it
I agree it isn’t easy to fit in tight spots but you’ll have to get creative and shove it in
Did you ever figure this out? I just got my kit and I’m wondering if I can carve out a piece of the back to allow more flexibility around corners.
@@trelaw1235 i had to take the entire door cover off, and it got extremely difficult put it through without breaking them, i ended up breaking them anyway so i gave up completely
@@Luis-rh4tj damn, so to hear that bro
Great work… can you share how you ran the bulb to the door through the connector?
Thank you, I removed the harness grommet attached to the door, then fed a coat hanger wire through and tied my wire to it, then pulled on the coat hanger wire. Hope it makes sense.
@@Azizdesign_ thanks, is there space on the side of connector for cable or have to crimp pins inside the connectors?
@@surmeetsingh16 unsure, but since the bulb was too big to fit through, i cut it, fed the wire through, and the resoldered the bulb
@@Azizdesign_ perfect, thanks for the reply. Much appreciated and loved your work
I tried opening the grommet and can’t figure out. Do you have video or steps how to open it and also access from inside. I like your way of work best
Amazing video! Hopefully if you have learned how to wire the power source to the car ( instead of cigarette lighter), please do a video about it thanks!
Thank you! Will definitely do :)
Thanks so much man! I’ll be waiting for it
@@Davidevlover find ignition fuse in your fuse box. Use a fuse tap to take power and you can power your lights etc whenever you turn the key.
@@01imh thank you I’ll try , hopefully I can do it
Why not just buy the crappiest, cheapest, actual fiber optic cable and use that? It’s a 100 times better than what your using now and way thinner. You could fit it in a lot of places that your current setup couldn’t. You could even use it send data or music files to your radio.
Check my latest vid, this one is outdated now
That looks tacky as hell
Thanks for watching
I ordered these back in February and still haven’t received them, tracking just says has been delivered to carrier. How long did it take for yours to arrive? Is it normal for it to take this long?
It took around 3 weeks for mine to come in the mail. However if yours is getting delayed i would urge you to contact them and raise your concern
@@Azizdesign_ I’ve contacted the seller but he just says he’s “contacted the post office and still waiting on reply” that he “ urges the post office to check parcel status “ is there something else that I can do or just wait it out?
Usually from aliexpress if you don't order epacket or a decent speed shipping method it can easily take 2 to 3 months to be delivered
@@ChristianOspina I paid 40 bucks extra for faster shipping and it still hasn’t updated, don’t know what to do at this point
@@SessameSeed how long has it been? With AliExpress you can get a refund easily
