so my LED strips that i bought on ebay have arrived from china hahah. i ordered 4 strips with 24 LEDs each and am going to double them up so its 2x24 on each side. might be able to put them on tomorrow so pics are comming

 

Shipping's expensive huh?

Nice choice for the 24 strip. I hope they turn out as well for you as they have for me, if not better

 

i was thinking of using double sided tape to stick them together and then also using the tape to attach them to the lower grill. i am also not sure if i am going to have to buy some wire cuz the one thats on the LEDs seems kinda short. BTW where did you attach yours to? i was thinking on hooking mine up with either the parking lights or the regular low beams. if i do it with the parking lights do you think the LEDs are going to blink when i turn the turn signals on? hehe kinda weird

 

I super glued one on top of the other and then immediately connected the wires together so there would be less confusion with wiring later on. I drilled small holes in the lower fog grilles and ran a thin black wire through it and around the LEDs to pull them close to the fogs; not permanently attached incase I pick up some fogs later on.

There's a bolt on the drivers side that I used as the ground. Make sure you use a larger gauge wire for the ground than for the power. As for connecting them, I wanted mine totally independent so they are connected to my broken sunroof power wire. I have a switch near my steering wheel to turn them on and off.

To get past the firewall, I ran the wires through the ECU box (I think it's the ECU), and down through the stock hole behind/underneath it. Just take off your fuse box cover and you'll see where what I mean--hardest part.

I'm really not sure about the parking lights and turn signals question. It may cause them to blink, and it sounds easier than routing to the cabin like I did. I would ground them first and test it.

 

thanks for all the info but i got one more question. how do i know which is the power and which is the ground on the LEDs, or does it not matter and i can use either one?

 

You'll have to test it and find out, if it doesn't work switch it. LEDs have polarity.

 

No problem

Check in/on the LED strip. It may have + or - in little white print on the brown wiring inside the clear rubber. If not, take a 9 volt battery and connect the wires to it to see which way it runs

 

To the guy that already has them led lights installed,you need to post pics of them working,how can you do such a cool mod and not share with the forum?

 

skythe already shared some pics in his first thread on this forum.

 

how can you say such a thing and post no link to those wonderful pics?
