This is a great video, very useful information. Also, when it's hard-wired does it always turn on when you start the car, or can you set it to be off when you turn the key?
What happens if your car doesn't have a foot well lighting in the car, would I would have to use the fuse box to hardwire for the front cig. lighter slot. But not sure if i need to use a 22-16 awg connection to crimp and connect the wires or use a 16-14 awg.
you said that you used two led heads to avoid hotspots; i can see the hot spots are mostly in the bends and curves of the cable, but using two heads? what does that mean?
How do you connect app with installation? In my car it’s manually on /off via 12V socket but now it’s flashing all colors red green blue all the time it is very annoying..
If it's the same lighting I have. Download the Happylighting app. Make sure you lights are on. Wait a few seconds for the Bluetooth to turn on from the controller box. Turn on Bluetooth on phone and connect to the controller. Then open the app. On the top left side menu make sure you are connected to the controller. Now you can control the lights. Hope that helps
The kit comes with 6 meters. At first I didn't cut but I ended up cutting so I can use some for the doors. No cigarette cable. I connected to my existing footwell lights.
@@AutoSensation but its diffcuilt when cut it, doors not nessecery, you can just do all areound the front of the car and use cigg cable, otherwise some exprienced told me when you are takin off them, it will be hard work!
Can they be wired into the door switches. So when you open the door and close it they turn on and fade when the car is started. Then turned on when desired??
@@AutoSensation thanks, wondering if you could use another switch wired in to use them for both door entry then switch at will when wanted. Really want the factory look of lights when entering and at will when parked. Was the install difficult? I have a corvette and there aren't many gaps to tuck anything in to. And most factory lights are hidden by a shelf above like a recessed lamp where as you don't actually see the bulb. You just get that beautiful light coming down from under the shelf without actually seeing the bulbs themselves. My father's Mercedes e400 had well hidden lights and looked awesome except for the ugly burnt orange color they were. But the layout looked great. Thanks again.
@@chrisperry9002 yes. Use this kind of switch. I did it for my underlights. th-cam.com/video/Kac_eJwdwXs/w-d-xo.html here is part two of the video th-cam.com/video/Tos45u2ct5Y/w-d-xo.html
This type of lighting is good,, but don't over do it, like you did here.... try to keep it more ""OEM style "" I seem videos where they wrap the entire interior of the car..

How many amps should the mini fuse be for the Chasing ambient dreamlight strip LED's?
@@iAmsha 5amp should be good
The best video for this work that I see until now
nice
Nice job again - you are a true gadget guy. If I didn’t hate my wife’s Pilot(19 touring, electrical issues) I would do this.
Thanks.
It's not bright enough for a corolla cuz u gotta bend it a lot :(
Does this drain car battery!
No it does not as long as you don't connect directly to the battery.
good job man
Thanks
A little trick leave the tube in the sun or heatgun it a little makes corners much easier
Yes that is a great tip. It does get difficult in tight corners. Thanks
These products are more complicated to me than installing a double din apple car stereo
Lol I thought I was the only one. I can drop an engine and tranny but can’t seem to stuff the wire in my interior
@@dannylopez528 lol takes a lil i’m getting used to but basically just shove that shit up under there
@@dannylopez528 you kind of want to get that little scraper thing in there and then push the plastic bit in as you’re pulling the scraper along
Pretty nice job Sir
Thank You
This is a great video, very useful information. Also, when it's hard-wired does it always turn on when you start the car, or can you set it to be off when you turn the key?
You can set it to turn off when the key is off. You just connect the power wire to a fuse that shuts off when the keys is off.
@@AutoSensation Cool, thanks!
Can I just use the 12v cigarette adapter to power it on? So I can manually turn them on and off without being hardwire.
Yes you can

22-16 awg should be fine.
How do you hide the wire from the doors into the main cabin?
How do you like this over the EL wire? Which one do you recommend?
I love these over the el wire. The ability to change colors and control brightness did it for me.
@@AutoSensation thanks glad I seen your videos
Thank for the video! Does the app/Bluetooth have to open for the music function to work? Or can I just set it once and forget about it?
Set and forget
you said that you used two led heads to avoid hotspots; i can see the hot spots are mostly in the bends and curves of the cable, but using two heads? what does that mean?
Using two led source head. One on each end.
Is it the same process to ground the wires to the car? I drive a 2014 scion tC
Yes

@@AutoSensation what is the controller name for the lights to connect via bluetooth?
@@alex_garage Triones or something like that
It looks good, I also want to buy.
Does this work on 2016-2018 as well?
Yes. It's universal
Could you please do a door video please
Yes. It is next on the list. Give me about a week or so. Subscribe so you know when I post the video. Thanks

Question: can you see the reflection of the light on the windshield or side windows?
For this set up not on the windsheild. Low enough that it does not reflect. On the side windows yes but not much. Only at night and only the corners.
I Saw a cuttable light set on internet today.for for doors etc...
I don't have the footwell lighting, how would I connect the wires? I've only seen people use the cigarette lighter, but that is ugly
You can tap into the fuse box. You will need to figure out which fuse is the cigarette plug fuse and tap into that.
Where can i purchase the ambient lights from?

@@AutoSensation are those el wires??
Where can I buy it Bro

How meters was it?
So you didnt cut the wire at well, you just went on all arrround the front with out cutting it?
Dont you use cigg cable?
The kit comes with 6 meters. At first I didn't cut but I ended up cutting so I can use some for the doors. No cigarette cable. I connected to my existing footwell lights.
@@AutoSensation when it comes the doors, where do you connect them thoughe?
I have not done them yet. I have that on my to do list.

Not hard at all. I will order another kit and upload a video.
Can someone send me the link to this product

Why does it only laminate at night
I connected to the parking lights which automatically turns on at night or when I manually yurn them on.
Can they be wired into the door switches. So when you open the door and close it they turn on and fade when the car is started. Then turned on when desired??
Yes they can be wired to the door switches. But will not turn on when desired. Will only turn on with whatever power source you decide.

@@AutoSensation great. Thanks again. Another project for the list.
What is the 12 volt doesn’t work ..
What do you mean if the 12v doesn't work?
@@AutoSensation it comes with a 12volt cigarette thing and I plugged it because I thought that how it would turn on but it doesn’t work
@@stocke5060 on the back of the cigarette plug is a button. Push that. Make sure it's connected to the control box.
What app can I use?
Happy Lighting. If you have the same kit I have.
This type of lighting is good,, but don't over do it, like you did here.... try to keep it more ""OEM style "" I seem videos where they wrap the entire interior of the car..
Thanks
Yeah. It looks tacky af. Can’t believe so many ppl think this looks good.
Is there another place I can hardwire ?
Yes. The fuse box. Look for INST PANEL LIGHTS in the Honda pilot.
@@AutoSensation thank you !
in daylight the installation looks awful for me
Pilot ugh how bout a civic!
It will work on a Civic too
N y h
Ttaps are garbage as they're unreliable just use butt or plug connectors
Agreed
