Halogen bulbs are so hot that the glass has to be perfectly clear and clean because the slightest fingerprint smudge will partially block the light from escaping and that causes heat buildup and glass cracks from too much heat. The COB (chip on board) LED headlight bulbs also generate heat, sometimes as hot as a hot cup of tea, which one shouldn’t touch needlessly if one can avoid it
My car is a nissan 300zx Z32 model. My car is not DRL OEM. I noticed I have a pair of Fog lights that have been removed but the connections are still there, there is a white and black from the old fog light connection, I just want the white DRL light not the Amber to work so the current amber hooked to the car will work via its OEM, so based on this which wires do I connect to the old Fog light connectors which are black and white and will it work if I only connect the DRL white not the amber. Thanks excellent work
Love these LED strip lights, my only concern, here in the UK, when you jet wash your car, eventually, those strips will come loose at the worse possible time!!
The only reason why some people have to tap in the fuse box is because some cars don't come with DRL already, so, you would have to use an ACC connection from the fuse box like the radio to be able to install DRLs
What does ACC mean? I bought some DRL’s and it has a control box with it but in the instructions it says to wire the black and red wire to the battery and the white wire to the ACC. What do they mean by ACC?
Can you tell me- can I put this stripe over my lights where I already have a fabric led stripe on top of headlight, but this one is way prettier. Does it mean if I put this kind of additional light on car, it will substitute some initial bulb, or I can have all lights I had before plus one additional more? Thanks
Thank you for the video. Question, my headlights have a sharp turn(angle) and I wonder how flexible is this strip when laying flat. It will lay almost like yours but I need it to curve a little more
So you only need to wire tap the three wires going into each signal light and that also makes the white L.e.d' s light up too even though they work from a different switch ?? 🤔
I prefer your wiring method by just using the wiring already provided for all three leads. Was there any long-term issue with any fuses blowing or not being happy with the small extra load of the LEDs? Thanks in advance
Iv fitted these to my car , I put the red wire straight to the ignition feed in the fuse box and the ground to the chassis then found my indicator wire the lights work fine so do the indicators but wen I start the car the indicators don’t work but the drl still light up?

Hi.. Could you give me the name of a good brand for these LED LIGHTS because most of them are just cheap replicas. I wanted to buy one from a good company.
Putting the strip outside of the headlight will make it stain the headlight itself, threw min away after a few months because it was stained and looked ugly

For led strip’s running light (red one) wire, don’t you have to tap to head light wire? I just wonder how does the led strip’s running light wire works just tapping to turn signal wire..
My car has the same three wires but I don’t know which one do I have to connect together plz can u explain me plz there’s black wire and the others one has white Nd yellow Nd the other one has white and green let me know plz 🙏
If I want to use these lights for DRL, can I just wire it to the high beam light (since it’s also the drl light) and it would work? I believe it gives our 6volts so I’m sure if that would be enough to power these strips.
not worth it for DRL since it not really that bright in sun light, but really help at night. I have it install in camry 2016, and rav4 2020. the strip on the camry is old and hazed quick, but still work and look great at night.
can you also give me info on the wiretap and the wire that you use? I bought some on amazon and it seems the tap is too big and the wire is very small it didn't cut to the core of the wire when closed.
It is safe but it will eventually corrode the wires. Btw if you are still planning to tap the wires, DO NOT do it so close to the plug/socket. Give yourself room for error and space to work, maybe offset the taps a bit too. I’m sure it must’ve been tough to fit all the taps so close together, now imagine having to service that in case of failure. Lastly dielectric grease might help with corrosion.
Bro what are the clips called pls? My pack did not come with a clip...also, do i need to make a cut on the wires for the turn signal or i just attach the clips?
"plug and play just switch them around" lololololol

Pinned!
does it need for relays?
@@beausky4100 no
You tied all three wires to the connectors on the turn signal?
Thats actually better looking than most cars that have them from factory, great job bro👍
LED’s are the ones that are safe to touch halogens blow when you touch the bulb because the oil from your fingers ruins the gas in the bulb
yeah
Halogen bulbs are so hot that the glass has to be perfectly clear and clean because the slightest fingerprint smudge will partially block the light from escaping and that causes heat buildup and glass cracks from too much heat. The COB (chip on board) LED headlight bulbs also generate heat, sometimes as hot as a hot cup of tea, which one shouldn’t touch needlessly if one can avoid it
OMG I’ve been waiting for someone to show me how to install these! Thanks dude!
The way the turn signal flows with the stock turn signal looks amazing
It's called Sequential Turn Signal. Usually a yellow wire and red and black
Oil from fingers does in fact affect halogen bulbs. You have your facts mixed up.
Matthew Martin yes
came out amazing for me
I think it's a good addition to any car. It Looks really cool 👍🏼

no. you don't touch halogen bulbs. oil from hand etc destroys their life. not the LEDs.

Having the lights on the outside is pretty dumb. How do you put them inside of your headlight?
You’d have to open up the headlight and seal them back
I thought about doing a video on that
