Audi Style LED DRLs (Warning Lots of Large Pics)

MojoNojo · 03-15-2009, 07:50 PM

Kind of DRLs... more like... All-Time Running Lights... I wired them into the red wire from each separate parking light, tapped into the ground, and left the 3rd wire (for the double filament turning signal) untouched...

I turn them on by turning the "parking lights" on... and instead of the orange lights coming on, these come on...

Let me know what you think... I used LEDs - underbody kits, cathodes, flexible LED strips, dome lights LED Strips... cost me about $60 because i was impatient and got long enough strips to cover the entire light, but realized it looked nicer when they stop at the turning signal... plus they can't go all the way to the corner of the light due to the bumper plugging in there...not enough room...

Lights are a lot brighter than in the picture and especially at night... You'd think you could drive at night with just them on... but... no... they're not that bright... lol

What it looked like when i put it on the right side without the bumper on...

Lights not on...

Close-up lights not on...

Lights on... (Parking light power on)

Close-up

Side shot

Headlights on...

Close-up

Side

When i finished putting them on...

LEDs on alone at night...

MORE PICS (NIGHT TIME) AND A VID COMING SOON if anyone wants them...

Any questions, i'd be happy to answer... love this forum, lots of creative people with amazing cars...

looks pretty weird in the day time, but at night.. that's a different story. In for more night pics

vlcmdude · 03-15-2009, 07:59 PM

Nighttime shots look awesome.

KameraBoy · 03-15-2009, 08:00 PM

looks like the bumper covers them too much.

raybyduhbay · 03-15-2009, 08:05 PM

Dar-Dar · 03-15-2009, 08:09 PM

Nice. It will probably look alot nicer in person and with HIDs.

I feel like my EnV2 Camera phone really doesn't do it justice...perhaps i'll break out the cannon and get nicer pics, night pics coming soon... Doesn't look weird in the daytime... An FA5 was gawking at me on 684 near White Plains round 7pm tonight...

I was also creepin' on Cross Island and Long Island Expressway tonight wit just the LEDs on... lol

Cool idea but not feeling it.

Not feeling it because it reminds one of an audi? or literally the look of it is not appealing?

LED's are spaced a lil too tight on the strand but it still came out good. nice job.

btw, next time uploading pics, you should resize them, they're rather large. you can change the upload size right on photobucket.

I didn't make the LED strip, they are a little tight but the space is rather tight so i couldn't get the bigger ones that i could individually space apart...and in the strip they work in 3s...so.. u take out one...u take out 3...

Anways, thanks for the feedback and the tip, i thought the pics were big too but i didn't know exactly how to make them smaller, will be sure to fix that next time.
