The LED strips look pretty good. Usually I am not a fan.

Don't forget to clean the fingerprints off the lens. :

i should have the red led in a week or 2, just debating how to wire it, i want it on with parking and off when the headlights are on. i think that requires 3 relays and 2 diodes. i could just tap into my ground when armed on my alarm, but i still need to turn off my headlight, b4 i can put it in quickstop mode, my compustar does quickstop, just make sure u hit the remote start b4 taking out the key.
if u guys dont retrofit, u can do this to the stock like is shown here.

this is an example of how red in projector looks, i will not add the strip in the high beam, although i can, i choose not to add it. it might look funny like the taco install.

Not a big fan of the LED strips trend, but they look great

I think you should've stopped with the red LEDs in the projector. Makes your runner look like its mad! Maybe try the blue/white strips?

The blue/white strips on the bottom of the headlights looks awesome!

The LED strip is simply insanely amazing!! :thumbup:

So the ebay seller you linked to is the best place to get them? What length did you get?

I'm thinking to get them for my wifes Civic as well.

You can also get a similar LED strip that can be cut into various lengths from superbrightleds.com

just get like 4 or 6 and play with it. it doesnt hurt to put the left overs inside.

i have had my headlights off in the dark for my retrofit videos, and these still bright enough to glow the lanes/lines for me. dont add leds strips yet till you do a retrofit to complament it.

Thanks riceandpho, but that seller only ships to the US. I'm in Canada. I have to figure out another way to do this, unless I send you the money via paypal, you order it and ship it to me?

 

[riceandpho]

Hey buddy,
may i ask what bulb are you using for your signal light? In one of the video i saw it was white and i would assume that is LED but the blinking is normal. I thought by using LED as signal bulb you would get some hyper blinking, did you put in some relay for that? Also for the led strip lights did you have to slice any wires to wire them up? What was the process of tapping them in?

Thanks a lot

i used 27 smd 5050 leds for the turn signals, also spliced the led strip to the parking wire. i have changed the flasher relay for use with leds, less than 15 bucks i think.

 

[nagasami]

for the flasher relay is it located under the hood?

Thanks for the info

 

[riceandpho]

Flasher relay is located on the back of the interior fuse box

 

[nagasami]

Thanks a lot riceandpho. Pho is good
To get access to the flasher relay did you have to open the dash or the fuse box just easily be taken out?
