DIY: LED Halo w/Video's

Bigviet23 · 04-12-2013, 08:41 PM

Question: inside the light is the green and black wire that turns on the little amber light. Has anyone connected their halos or LED to that? When does that come on?

Question: the green and black wire on the inside turns on when? Has anyone connected their halo or led to that?

All I have done is install new switches with leads. Also wired to parking light:Parking light uses a Blue, Black and Yellow wire at the plug.

I haven't done it but the blue is not a constant power the yellow is. I assume it would make it flash. So the answer to your question above is No..

Yes this is the parking light, I usually connect the halos to that. They turn on when you flip the light switch once or when your headlights come on.

Holy Crap,
I was looking for a new product to try out, want to find something new and I found Clearcorner.com... You may have seen these guys before, the work is top notch and has a complete factory look to it. I inquired about the price and my jaw fell of

.

LED's, resistors are not expensive, the labor involved in modding them isn't that bad. These guys want $2500.00 a set, they compared it to Whiskey and Champagne.. Hell I want Whiskey !!!! $650.00 for LED Map Lights, man I want to visit the planet these guys can from, reality here just sucks !!! 09-XX NISSAN Z34 370Z (Fairlady Z) Products

Amazing

...

Anyone find any new products or come up with a new look. I just found a bunch of new LED websites but haven't found anything better than the XB's yet..

Have a kick a$$ weekend

I don't know if the lights in this pic are real or Pshoped. Here is the company that did it from what I've gathered. Ex Audi Ver3

Sorry fellas, Admin helped me out and images should be back. I was messing around with the viewing permissions and locked my albums out from public view. It should be fixed..

I have had some issues with Mod Shops using the DIY and

charging a lot of money for the mod's. I started this DIY so you would have to pay for something you can do easily on you own.

I sent you PM with a link to the album I used to make the DIY. When you finish yours lights , please show us what you did. Keep this DIY alive and updated with new ideas to share with everyone.

Stingy bastards have no business in this thread if they don't share there ideas !!!!!

Update:

I am working with a company to get a supplier that sells the sealed halo's for our cars. If this works out, we could get a reduced cost and they would also be a forum sponsor.

We are looking for the same halo's that are supplied to another custom shop that fit flush in the shroud but are sealed. The look is clean and they don't have the yellow look when they are off like the XB's.

When I did Mr&Mrs lights I had to cut that kit open and reduce the halo to get it to fit. Thats lots of work and is not simple process. Will update you on progress of our halo project..

That's to all who have added to this DIY. There is a lot of good information here, keep it coming !

Its always awesome working on a car that has a killer owner. Makes the work worth wild. The dimple fill and double halo is my favorite. Simple mods are timeless like the single halo and painted shroud. They always look good..

I went through and (edited) updated the beginning of this thread. Everything should read more clear. I took out a lot of rambling, its more strait to the point.
