Links for fog lights and DRL+ turn signal is not working. Cant wait to do all this on my Brera
Love the video!!
works to me :) @@JutKip
Hi bro, amazing job, i have a question. which option i have to buy of the can bus resistor soft shell o hard shell?
@@NikolasKolisdoesnt work :(
Hi bro the adaptors are not the same are not the same, there are metalic , yoy have the video with the others adaptor, or do you know how to use it??
this is golden my friend, I have a 159 and this is happening very soon.
Good luck 👍
Great job , greetings from Italy 🇮🇹.
thank you! Saluti
Дуже гарне виконання💪 Автору респект за витрачанений час🔥
Чувак. Вообще пофиг на фары. Монтаж просто пушка. Музыкальное сопровождения просто вау!) все так подобрано что как будто не какой то diy ролик а начало какого то фильма
159 is more timeless than giulia
true
Szanuję za jakość materiałów ❤
Dziękuję!
Love you car , and your work keep going with this work❤
thank you so much
👍👏 It's a remarkable piece of work that you've given us here, with top-notch video production to boot! Thanks also for the step-by-step guide, as I'm planning to make this modification to my Brera. I'm just wondering if I'll get any Canbus errors if I fit the second projector on your list (laser)?
thx for your words :) no any canbus error with this setup
Saving 159 drivers globally from candle light driving ;)
Very nice.
They look great. If only penalty wasn't 3k pln even for just good quality retrofits...
fck the penalties :D
how and from
where i can buy this kit please i need help . thank you
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

С оригиналните капачки на фара, как побираш крушите с вентилатори? При мен не остава почти никакво място, когато ги затворя. Така си счупих рефлектора докато спускам и дигам фаровете от врътката в купето.
Love the video . Hope to try this on my 159 . The link for the DRL and turn signal bulbs cant be found on ali express, could you recommend alternative?

Fajnie to wygląda : ) Tylko ciekawe jak z żywotnością tych projektorów. Radio nie szumi od tych ledów?
1,5 roku - wszystko w porządku. bez hałasu i bez problemów
Hi bro, Amazing Work, thanks for sharing. I have some question that i hope you can anwser.
1) Led can Bus T10 , I have to buy hard or soft shell?
2) LED DRL bulb + turn signals, wich version i have to buy PY21W (1156 150°) or P21W (1156 180°)
3) To conect and route high beams, i have to conect in a especif sequence ? i need aditional wire? wich especification has to be this wire? i need new adaptor to conect the wires?
4) where i have to conect the terminal of DRL bulb?
Regards, bro
hi!
1 - any
2 - p21w
3 - yes you need additional wire, 0.5 or 0.75
4 - to the computer's fuse in the fuse box
@@NikolasKolis Regards for your answer, can you share in wich part of the computer´s fuse i have to conect the terminal
Hi, thanks for your video.
I actually tried to find how H7 led bulb perform in alfa 159 low beam projector, and found your video instead.
Have you tried regular led bulbs for low beam, prior to changing entire projectors? Is it that bad that I shouldnt even try with easy/cheap solution?
Montując w ten sposób soczewkę bi LED tworzy się szczelina między soczewka a pierścieniem chromowanym do którego oryginalna soczewka dochodziła . Przynajmniej u mnie tak było. Przybliżylem soczewkę bi LED do tego pierścienia za pomocą adapterów i śrub . Jak to wygląda u ciebie patrząc na przód lampy ?
Do i need the cambus resistor for the position led lights, i want to change just that, notfing else because i will instal angel lights
yes, you need
które soczewki wybrałeś? BiLED czy laserowe? jest możliwość wrzucenia soczewki w reflektory światła drogowego? fajnie by to wyglądało :D
Svaka čast na videu! Kako si povezao drl, da se gasi na kratka svetla, a pali na duga? Hvala!
hvala!
svaki aftermarket DRL ima trecu zicu koju treba povezat sa pozicijom i onda ce se gasiti kad upalis pozicije/kratka. da se pali opet na duga ja sam dodao relej
why did you switch from the triple projectors to these?
Jak jazda na tych kołach? :)
Link do drl nie dziala. Pytanko, po co ta wtyczka wychodzi z drl i jak ogarnac zapalanie tych drl? Rozumiem ze na 0 sa drl a po wlaczeniu swiatel gasna?
Hello. The first 2 products from you list are out of stock i think because the link dosen't work anymore. can u provide us with an alternative Bi led projectors and laser high beam? thank you
updated: ali.ski/gMfIw
hey, where did you get an update for the gearbox? Qtronic
hi! Official Alfa Romeo / Fiat servis
@@NikolasKolis does it run different/better with this update?
@@Pow3rLJ yes, a bit different and better, changes gears faster and cleverer
Hello, great video? One question, what is the difference between the first and second projector on your list? laser?
thx
yes
Czym kleisz lampy? Chce się zabrać do montowania pasków ledowych na tyle ale nie mam pojęcia czego użyć do zaklejenia lamp żeby nic mi nie parowało
w tym przypadku nie było potrzeby niczego odklejać, bez demontażu
Дякую, можна таке саме але про задні?)

I bought the fog lights given in the link, but the sockets are not compatible😟159 is not a H11 socket
strange
but you can still have + and - wires and can connect it
Could you please send again the link for low beams? It says it is unavailable for me. Or write model number so I can search for it.

Great video, you think can install angel eyes type in alfa 159 proyectors?
just replacing the stock projector you cant install angel eyes (because it will be inside the headlight).
to install angel eyes you have two options:
1 - disassembly the headlight and install it
2 - buy bmw 😂
😄Ty . I take my own design "semi angel eyes" ¬¬¬
interesting, do you have any picture maybe ? @@jjar5690
Hey, will these fit under my alfa? Front - 235/30/R19 rear - 255/30/R19
Front is better 235/35 and rear 255/30
also did you get wheels with 5x110 or did you use an adapter?@@NikolasKolis
@@icedigger yes, I had. Wobble bolts without adapter
Hello! In what fuses did you connect the DRL lights? Thank you so much!
PD: The foglights in the description are not compatible with the 159. I bought it, and they don't fit
@NikolasKolis I need to know that as well, where did you get the power for the DRL as I need to connect mine?
mine connected to the gearbox fuse, but there are another fuses you can connect it
foglights fit if you install it not from front side but from the inner side
@@NikolasKolisHi again, It fits, but the connector is different, at least on my 2011 159
@@Pepo159 mine was ok, but anyway connector is + and - wires, you can easy change it with the right one
Anyone know if this upgrade is legal for a UK mot?
Strictly speaking this should fail the UK MOT as section 4.1.4 of the testing manual states "Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs." However if you just fit the projectors it would be difficult for most testers to tell, you would need to make sure you fit RHD projectors though.
What's the difference between the first projector and the high beam laser as I only see you fit one of them?
the first one has regular high beam LED unit, the second one has laser LED with separate lense
Ordered the first one. Will see how they are when they arrive in UK
@@NikolasKolis Where do you connect the power for the DRL?
А яким чином денні ходові підключені? На пряму до акумулятора?

Could i use only the bi-led projector? i guess you changing the stock high beam to LED is for looks only?
sure, you can use each of the component separately depends of what you want as result :)
LED in high beam not only for look but its brighter too
@@NikolasKolis isn't the biled high beam bright enough?
@@mihailivanov4162 If there is an opportunity to have more, why not take advantage of it?
@@NikolasKolis Ok, you may be right :D Thank you for the video. That's literally the next project I wanted to do on mine. My only concern is the wirirng but I guess I will figure it out.
@@mihailivanov4162 abut the wiring it needs only 2 additional wires for the projector's high beam, but nothing special. good luck with your project!
Откъде го купихте и цена моля

The problem with these LED conversions is that they blind the oncoming traffic if the LED bulbs aren’t designed well, and those cheap chinese bulbs aren’t the best I would guess… I’m using the high quality Philips Ultinon Pro9100 LED H7 bulbs in my Brera for Low and High beams and they even passed the DEKRA annual check.
It seems to me that you didn’t watch the video carefully, I don’t use light bulbs in the low beam, but I use (replace) a FULL projector with LED chip, which is designed to make light according to all standards
