Re: Want to build a switchback led drl for my car

I wanted to build it myself because isme kick Hai!!! And another thing it doesn't have switchback feature
there are many readymade ones on eBay. they use white led for drl and yellow for indicators.

you can make one yourself, but honestly it will be cumbersome and not worth the pricing.

LED lighting

Hello guys.. I need to install LED strips to my car door handles. I need to know about the connections. I want the LED lights on the door handles to glow when I press 'unlock' on my remote along with the cabin light (cabin light has this feature already which turns OFF after few seconds ). Then I need the door LED to be turned ON permanently by turning the parking lights ON (i.e, turning the light knob to the first position). Hope to get good solutions :)

There are no ready made connections for such a setup. You will have to build a custom Power box for customizing the behavior of LED strips you want.

Your closest bet is connecting the LED strips to Cabin light via relay.

It's very easy to install these drl lights .All you need is 12V Car DRL Daytime Running Light Relay Harness Controller On/Off Switch .Just connect the red wire to positive and the black to negative at your battery ,after connect the drl with the harness and you are ok.If the conncetors of the harness doesn't fit cut the wire and connect them between.My controller let the drl open when i start the car ,when i open the lights the drl reduce to half and after i stop the engine the lights stay open for 15 seconds help me the night to get inside my House.There are more controllers at the market with different functions

Hello Sir, What is your suggestion regarding the led back bumper lights you fixed.
1. Are they bright?
2. Any wire cutting?
3. Cost?
4. Where from purchased?
5. Has any one tried led bulbs in brake and indicator?

Replies as follows
1. Yes, they r bright with two steps one for taillight and brighter for brakes.They are perfect fit to replace the reflectors on bumper.
2. Yes, stripping of wires is required.
3. Bought them for 2k
4.Purchased online through ebay.
5.I have already replaced tail/brakelight bulbs with highpower 30W led's refer pics in earlier post, they are just awesome.
Also, I'm currently waiting to recieve led's for reverse light 80W power each. Later will replace front/rear indicator bulbs also with Led's, then will share feedback.

indicators are meant to stay Amber. it's the brake lights that are red. not only you'd be breaking the law, youre confusing other folks on the road.
