DIY: LED Halo w/Video's

Congratulations Nut N Much

In my opinion, you have done the best and most legit LED work to a 370z headlight. After years of browsing on here, the bottom led strip is exactly what I've always wanted to do. Now I just got to find somebody in Norcal to do it to mine.

Anyone try this yet?

VDC_OFF · 04-24-2014, 04:56 PM

I tried this on a customers car. Not a very smart thing to do btw. Wired everything to the parking lights (except the amber wire which went to the blinker of course) and now we are noticing the switchback is not working so well. When the blinker is on, instead of shutting off the white completely it flashes white and amber back and forth. Also there are issues when you turn off the blinker. Sometimes it switches back to white immediately, other times there is a delay, and sometimes no lights at all. Not very happy with this product at the moment. Calling the company to see what they say.

So to solve my problem the strip comes with three wires. Black (ground) Red (white LEDs) and Yellow (amber LEDs). I disconnected the yellow wire that was connected to the blinker positive completely. Instead I attached the ground to the blinker positive. Now when the parking light is on it shines white, and when the blinker is activated it blinks white.

I love the bottom LED strip. Not to keen on the rings though.

Any plans on some DIY info on installing and wiring the LED strip to come on whenever the headlight gets power? I'm ready to try this myself, just paint and the strip no halos and whatnot.

Deuces!760 · 05-05-2014, 04:19 PM

Need some help... So around feb I did the dual halo mod on my lights and used krylon fusion satin black and the UV protectant on my housing, now it's getting burned up or warped sort of by the turn signal halos on both sides only. Any tips or suggestions to prevent this whenever I repaint them???

What brand led are you guys using on the parking/running light spot in the headlight? I'm using the same ones I have in the license plate and map light #194. Works fine everywhere but nonstop flickering in the parking/running light spot.
