a lot of us think you're a craftsman. You're awesome bro!
The people who disliked the video were probably the guys that said “take my money 💵 “ and you refused 😂
LMAO
If those are 12V leds then they are WS2815. The BI and BO channel is backup signal. If one chip burns out then the signal will bypass that led and the rest of the leds will continue to work. I tie both channels together where I inject the signal and then run them parallel for the remainder of the run.
Scott Petty they’re CS8812b 👍
@@flyryde very similar strips! Good job on the video!
Yessss keep making more addressable led videos soo cool....but 1000 thank yous for sharing everything with us I love the knowledge you drop and where to get more ....thanks
the BO and BI is Back-up Out and in, it is for when a chip fails. Normally when a chip fails no data is pushed to the next LED so every chip after the broken one just stops updating. BI is in parallel with DI before the chip , and I would assume BO is in parallel with DO but I'm pretty sure that this is his proprietary design because the others don't have a BO. The point is when a chip fails the BI signal still gets to the DI of the next chip, allowing the rest of the chips to still update color.
I pick up cool little tips and ideas from almost every video of yours I watch but this episode saved me a fuckton of money and time soldering. I've known about ghost sequencers for years but had no idea they had come up with something for neopixels. I actually started programming my own sequences manually from an arduino and it was time consuming to say the least. I'm working on some custom rx7 tails and have over 60 channels to control in just one tail, not including the middle section with the third brake light. Love the knowledge man, keep doin you
Bro been waiting for this video ever since i was born! You're the man! Man.
Brian Low haha, I’m sure you were sung lullabies about addressable LEDs as a baby 🤣
@@flyryde haha a dream come true.
2 years ago i told you to use addressable LEDs have 3 wires and ditch all this soldering dozens of wire ribbon cable nonsense... glad youre going in that direction.
Alan S lol I’m not bro. But I do want people to know that addressable exists. Definitely not going to be doing a lot of it in place of dedicated sequential with wires though.
FlyRyde we should design a board that comes pre assembled from my manufacturer that you can cut to length attach power ground and signal with a simple arduino, and then wirelessly update software. Sequential is easy with addressable and a little code. Let’s do it sir, my company prototypes and brings to market products I can get this done for you.
@@user-zj2mb3sp3x still do this man ?
@@ochoajaime938 yes sir.
Dude...you are an amazing Mad Scientist...TAKE MY MONEY! 🤣
Ronte Foster haha thanks 🙏 I’ll keep learning and teaching as I go 👍
Thank you for the code just got me a BlueGhozt Plus Smart LED Controller for the rear lights on my project car will fit in well with the ViVi Music LED Controller and the xkglow LED Fiber Optic Kits im also fitting to the car
Love the vids have helped me loads with planning how to do my lights thank you
alec shewan I love hearing that 🙏 thanks so much dude! What car are they going on?
@@flyryde mitsubishi gto still got a lot to do before shes finished mind lol
good to see ya plugging away on projects!!
I've seen a few of your vids now. Great stuff. Have you done a vid specifically to talk about the light circuit or color driver unit that makes it all work?
Charlie Rumsfeld thanks dude! I’m not sure I follow the question though. You mean like a step by step of how I wired it all up?
Great video Chris! I need to research this more, hopefully your learning curve is better than mine. Please do more on this. Thanks big time dude, much appreciated...
Paul M Regets you’re welcome brother, thank you for watching!
Dude.. absolutely awesome video! I have a 2006 Charger with 2010 OEM projectors swapped into it and have had a killer idea about some LED placement, and those addressable strips that can be cut are perfect for it! I've done a full blown flow series (addressable) halo set on the car but want something that REALLY stands out.. and I think you just showed me how to make it happen! please PLEASE post more vids! I want to learn!!
Cashman800 thanks dude, I’ll definitely do that. Looks like people are responding really positively towards this video 🙏 How has your experience been so far with the Flow Series products?
@@flyryde I've loved them so far! I've had them for 6 months and the only had one issue and that wasn't any fault of the lights. We got hit by a tropical storm and I submerged a fog light and flooded the housing. The company I got them from was super nice and sent me a replacement halo and all is well. My only complaint is that aside from the usual solid color wheel their control boxes are all preset sequences and colors (even though it has 200 presets). I was really hoping for the ability to create my own sequence/color combinations that fit my car better.
Vipertruckguy you can create your own color combos, on the menu when you select a sequence you add, remove, or replace a color there's 6 rectangle blocks you click on one make sure it's highlighted and you can change the color in that sequence, for sequences you can slow it down, get smaller or bigger gaps etc....
Great job, I ask you a few months ago about why you don't use that kind of leds.
Pablo Llarena So far I haven’t had a good reason to until this build 👍
Wheres the link for the addressable LEDs you got?
was thinking the same thing lol
Hello! You do an exceptional job, congratulations! How do you glue the headlights after you cut them with ultrasound cutter ? If you already have a video can you leave me a link? Thanks!
I'm going to do this style of installation on my crusty nugget in Australia,
Thanx fo all the learnin thingoz
Awesome 😳
💡always amazing ideas...
Have a blessed weekend 🤘🏼😁
Heinrich Vijsma thank you my friend 🙏
Great video. Thanks man. There really is very little difference between the WS2812b and your SK6812. Even the protocol is the same and in most cases, they are a drop in replacement.
Scott Dann I’ve actually never even touched an SK6812, lol, though I’ve been told it’s the better option due to heat based failure on the WS2812b
I used a 12v CS8812b for this video. I’ll be updating the description with a link and promo code to ACLs website 👍
@@flyryde SK6812 are 5v RGBW
This is insane Chris! But I'm really stoked about my DRL's. Hopefully you can send me some footage about them 😊
DJ Boom people are gonna LOVE the video for them bro! I think it’s gonna change the game for DIY guys 👍
Cutting edge with ideas, designs and my favorite, sharing of the knowledge. Keep that up and one day, I may even try to do it myself. Glued to the channel:).
Karopine sweet 👊 what’s your favorite topic so far?
@@flyryde I'm one of those computer geeks, so anytime you mention programming. lol. But I'm so far away from needing that to be honest. I'm seen enough videos to know I want customized patters/turn signals/brake light patterns/F1 braking flash, but don't know the whole process well enough to try just yet. I'd very much like to know more about how you do your design process as that's the part I'm the most nervous about. The last thing I want is to design it/buy all the parts/build it and it looks like a drunken 4th grader did it when I'm done:). Like in the headlights above, you mentioned the angles of seeing it/not seeing it and how that brought you to choose the top for drop down lighting, leaving the stock ones in, I thought that was pretty damn clever of ya:). I'm eons away from building mine, but when I see the wires soldered and your cable management, I think I could give it a try:).
@@flyryde Oh and it will be for an SUV (Chrysler Aspen), so the lights will be huge both front/rear, so with the acreage of them, design will be crucial I think.
Karopine haha, glad you liked that. I’ll give you one little piece of advice to put you more at ease with it all. Just do what seems to naturally flow. I think of customizing lots of things with the same idea as Judo, where you don’t force anything, or go against the natural design. I like to enhance what’s already there, as though it were meant to be that way.
I see LOTS of mods that have no place in lights, like big ugly tubes, or shapes that don’t naturally compliment each other.
If you can chop things up that are never seen, go for it. If you’ll have to try too hard to make it look right, don’t do it. Subtlety beats out Tackiness every time 👌
looks great! you wrote few weeks ago that adressable LED weren’t enough powerful and dangerous since if one fail the others leds will not light.. I agree but adressable is so nice to work with. do thoses led has comprable lux output as the one you normally use? regards
Sebastien D'Amours what I mentioned before now was that the addressable aren’t as bright of a solution as normal LEDs. That’s because tons of crazy bright LEDs can be packed super close together without heat issue. These addressable will suffer from heat issues as it is, especially when sealed inside an HID or Halogen.
I wouldn’t sell custom tails with addressable for brake lights, since it’s then a safety issue. If someone slams into you from behind, and says they couldn’t tell you were braking, sues you, and wins... you’re gonna want someone to blame. Not worth a few hundred bucks to sign up for all of that nightmare. That’s my take anyway.
Addressable is cool, but mainly for special bonus effects that can be enjoyed in low light, like at night.
Addressable is the way to go, period.
Nice video my man, How did you secure the LEDs in place? I've heard Epoxy glue may harm the chip?
Got a question I have a 2019 road glide special I want to put rgb strips on it but I’d like to have a Bluetooth controller on it with 3-6 channels to customize the color on my bike, but I would also like to have the LEDs have a run, turn, break mode as well. I can’t find what I need. Can u help explain to me what all I need so I can get in the right direction? I don’t wanna pay hardly 200-400 bucks when I can build it myself. Thanks! Awesome videos love them
Is there a description sheet on the led wording for which wire or solder does what?
What leds are you using I’m currently doing my veloster headlights and the solder point being on the front side make it a little difficult to glue them in place
Killed it man!
Charlie Berger thanks bro!
Chris, should we expect a more detailed installation video in the lighting course?
Ivan Atanasov yeah, absolutely. However right now, I’m learning a ton about it myself, then teaching what I know. There will no doubt be a noticeable progression as I form my own likes and dislikes in the space.
@@flyryde Fine by me... I would rather you do the experimenting, testing, get it chewed and ready to swallow and hand it over 😁
Ivan Atanasov you got it 👌
You should've hit me up about ws2812b, you can buy the individual chips too, so you dont have to chop down strips, I have just about every form of ws2812b leds, I have strings, stips, squares led display, rectangle led display, and 100 individual chips I will start experimenting with soon.
Beautiful intro video of build
Yo did you have to use a 12v - 5v step down or did you use a 12v addressable strip? It doesn't look like the blue ghost will reduce the voltage but can just use both voltages
Those r just 12v leds so straight 12v to the ghost, you only use the 5v step down with 5v leds chips/strips
Another tip make sure the arrow is going all in the same direction!!!!
Hey Chris check out this Mercedes build I did with BlueGhozt!
th-cam.com/video/qe53XJgc5-I/w-d-xo.html
Marine Kustomz I saw that when you posted on FB I think! Crazy stuff bro, you’re doing amazing work! Glad to see you posted it on TH-cam as well!
What's the size wiring you're using to soder the leds??
New sub. I've been playing with 2812s for a few years now and they're a blast. I installed some 'flow sereies' halos in my headlights only to have 2 different pair fail after a couple months of use. Before this video I wasn't aware of any other brands on the market, so thank you for the info. I just sent an email to ghoztlighting, and maybe I can get some quality stuff now. Cheers
can't you program to skip those led at 5:00 to flow better?
If you were writing custom code, sure, but that kinda defeats the purpose of using a BlueGhozt (which simplifies addressable for cars big time). I was just testing ideas at the time I filmed that part, and later showed how I cut them up and placed them one by one instead of on an uncut strip.
Bro how do you secure the single led chip to each individual hole when your mounting the led from the top looking down ?
maybe a glue gun.
They will be wedged in by the bezel that's one option lol 😂
How do i know what halos can i use with the ghost plus? For example if i use litlights halos or profile halos, would all those platforms work with the ghost plus?
I believe you can only use a 3 pin addressable leds aka neopixels/flow series/chasing lights/dream color - whatever the company you buy them from name them lol. You can get the ghost plus and will work with standard single color leds. Go to ghost lighting on yt they explain it way better and show the 2 ghost boxes they lite and plus versions.
Loved the end result, but if you would've used the individual chips, it would've been 1000 times easier to work with.
How are the added LEDs sealed for water resistance?
Charlie Rumsfeld they aren’t at all. There’s never going to be water inside the headlights.
FlyRyde well not supposed to lol 😂 tho if they go and diy themselves this or similar kit n moisture comes and says hello 💨 they done 😂
What car are those lights for?
Thomas Castillo they’re the Turbo edition Hyundai Veloster
What are the best addressable led strips you have found for use in headlights, I want to avoid the unreliable China stuff and get stuff that will last as well as look good
It’s all China stuff my dude. But no, I’m not your guy when it comes to addressable know how. Just learning myself 😅
Thats cool, im learning with you I've just ordered a blueghozt and addressable leds to work on a set of e60 lights so will see how it goes
Where the strip for sale?
got a link for the strip chris cant seem to find it on the website
me either
Those are dope
Tail End Customs 🙏👍
Can you make tutorial for instalation?
Anton Sujarwo I’ll definitely do that soon. Would you like to see how to work with the Amazon Strips?
@@flyryde ok thank you very much. I have missun auto led strip.
AHHHHHHHHHH THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!! So worth the wait🥰🥰
Ps. Thanks for indirectly saying I’m not an idiot lol
Cory McDonald you’re as patient as a saint my friend 👌
Ooo la la!
Gamma Light 👍
WS2812B and SK6812 are outdated and should no longer be used in a vehicle application... SK9822 and SK6822 are preferred over SK6812, and WS2813, WS2815, or WS2818, should be used instead of WS2812B... But HD107S is probably the best addressable chip currently available, it is an upgraded variant of the APA102, APA107, and APA102C chipset... APA102 and its variants are commonly referred to as Dotstars (adafruit), while the WS2812-13 and the SK6812-22 are often referred to as Neopixels (adafruit). Neopixels are the older style... I would recommend a HD107S or other APA102/107 variant, especially when attempting a more permanent installation on a vehicle.
EDIT - There had been a problem with Ghozt Lighting's discount not working correctly with the Flyryde promo code, but the issue has been resolved and entering "Flyryde" at checkout gets you a nice 10% discount on the Blueghozt controller.
Imdb Truth what did you buy?
@@flyryde I was about to buy the Blueghozt Lite controller for $99.99, which actually comes out to $113 with shipping and tax.
But yeah, you should tell them to forget that promo code... It's just not a good look for them to be issuing coupon codes that only offer a 0.3% discount, I'm offended on your behalf... But it's also not a good look for you to be cross promoting for them and telling people to use your brand's name as a promo code that's only worth 0.30 cents for every $100 spent... No discount is better than that discount... A 0.3% discount just makes people be like WTF why'd they even bother with this promo code...
Imdb Truth Thanks for catching the bug. They fixed it and are issuing you a refund for the amount that should have been discounted.
@@flyryde Thanks bro, but I hadn't actually placed my order yet, so there's nothing to refund at this point... I did go back to their website and tried again this morning, but unfortunately it still only gives the same 30 cent discount... I've contacted Ghozt Lighting via email to ask them what's up with this...
The only reason I'm even aware of their products, is because you featured it on your channel... So I just don't think it's cool of them to only offer a 0.3% discount for your subscribers... I'm not looking for a huge discount, I mean 2 or 3 dollars would be better than nothing, but 30 cents, that just kinda irritated me.
@@flyryde Ghozt Lighting just contacted via email and confirmed that the discount code should be good for 10% off, which is a very nice discount! I'll talk to them and get it worked out... With a nice 10% discount, I'll definitely be buying today. Thanks for your help bro!
Hell yea. Welcome to 2011 bruh! Minus the BT of course
Custom headlights I'm building for a Chevy avalanche. I will be figuring out some type of diffuser I just can't figure out how I want to do it I should have bought denture LEDs but it still looks pretty cool. I use Arduino and everything runs off of ESP 32 so pretty soon the whole truck will be done and I'll sinked together.

Your previous videos you talk smack on any adressable technology, but now (with your vendor hookups and shoutouts of course) they're dope and the shit? Meh..
Matt Young pay attention. My video didn’t talk smack, it poked at dumb ass comments from know-it-alls who shoulded all over over me with theoretical ideas and pontification about things they clearly haven’t experienced with their own eyeballs. “You should just use addressable LEDs instead of all that wiring.”
I don’t know dude, pretty ignorant comment if we’re gonna play the call people out game. I don’t, and won’t use addressable LEDs to build GTR bolts, as I stated in that video. I will use the thing my buddy Cory said he really wanted, and I’ll use the best possible parts available, not just something a rando company hooked me up with.
You always know if I said it I think it.
