How To Build Custom SEQUENTIAL LED Tail Lights - Nissan GTR
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 01. 2018
- Almost nobody out there has really seen the process of custom building sequential LED lights. You may have seen the end result floating around Instagram and Facebook, but the process of going from stock lights to fully modified wiring, isn't really something you'll find a guide, or a kit to help you with.
If I were to break this down into steps, it'd look like this:
1. Open the lights
2. Trace down all power and ground wires for each LED
3. Strip, solder and heatshrink all ground wires, each with its own resistor
4. Connect all power wires together
5. Solder ribbon cable with connector for Ghozt sequencers
6. Reassemble and Reseal the Lights
7. Build Wire Harness to power Ghozt

Yes, please do a course I want to do this to my car.
This is cool. Video quality is dope. Going to try something custom on my integra soon. Thanks.
I think a class would be dope! I'd sign up for that.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Randall Wallace instablaster ;)
@Bruno Case i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Bruno Case it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Randall Wallace You are welcome =)
I'm a truck driver looking to get into customizing semis within the next few years, so I'm definitely interested in a course in custom lighting.
Excellent job Chris. It will be awesome if you do the course. Even it is step by step in several videos... I'm really interested on it. I'd love to have this in my car.
I'd be down for that course as well. What you're doing here is great! Inspiring the next generation of people who want to do stuff like this.
Jarvis Tang thanks brother! I’m excited about it too 👍
Just what I was looking for.
Anything that people want to learn is never boring
Very cool led lights
What type of led did you use and resistor
I would say your on the right track when thinking about offering a class to learn your trade. I am a old Gearhead, and still enjoy learning new things. Thumps Up...
Thanks so much! I'm launching officially over the next couple weeks. Wish me luck!
@@flyryde could you do my taillights if I sent them to you ? For a Chevy suburban 2001,I want the sequential LEDs......
Thats the first video that uses good music.Good production.I was planning to do some for my 300zx TT
Can't you run a common positive wire from controller board and daisy-chain the LEDs inside the lamp body? Would be easier and neater if you could.
It looks like each individual LED needs its own independent source of power from the ghost module to utilize the sequential modes. I don't think a single power source daisy chained would work.
Ready for the course!!
Email sent!
What is the part numbers for the led's and the (control) box? Ive been just ordering delay boxes some from China in Chinese language other will only allow me to use with turn signal(3 wire's) and thats not what im looking for
I'm in sound grate.
this is great ..so useful..👍🏻 and absolutely I'll sign up to learn if it possible 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+1 would be down for a class. Taking electrical engineering in school and this is still something id be way more interested investing my time into. Grew the balls to watch and learn how to cut and mod my own bk2 tails, now learning sequential and where to install resistors etc. going in depth is something id want to learn more about.
Great video
Ayman D sweet! Glad to hear it 🙏
Yes!!! A course would be amazing!! I’ll sign up for it!
I'm down for the course!
This is something I am really looking to do. I have a few vehicles I have some idea's on lighting, but not the knowledge to know where to start. That is why I clicked on this video. If you did a course that would be awesome and much appreciated by lots of people looking to do this to their own vehicles.
Need a help I have Lexus ls430 led taillight some of the leds r off I don’t know what kind leds r installed
I would definitely be interested in the detailed lighting videos!
Also, what watt resistors do I use for the GTR tails?
Definitely I will sign up for the future classes.
i wants to led sequencer circuit board/ kit
how can I get
Please help me
Is it possible to contact you guys to make heart shape brake lights for a 2013 Scion FR-S?
What would be a good place to get all the materials? Are those custom housings or 3d printed?
I wanna learn this kind of LED customization for my motorcycle. I subbed and clicked the bell icon 👍
Hey Chris, I'm sure you've covered this but what resistor do you use on these led's? thanks!
So do you solder the resister in between the power wire? Also were do you buy the resisters?
Seen some of these for g37 tail lights. Can you do these on a DIY?
Thanks for sharing these videos. I build props for movies and haunted attractions and have done a couple of sets of 2015+ Charger headlights. Question about your method for wiring each LED ground to the ribbon cable you use to plug into the module. Why not just build the 30 pin connector with the wires coming out of the tail lights? By that I mean, instead of soldering each wire to a wire on the ribbon cable, just push the wire from the tail light into the ribbon connector and clamp it down. The metal clips inside will make a connection to the wire and it'll look much cleaner.
Do you prefer the ghozts sequential controler or Corsomotion? I ordered last week from both of them ghozts sent them a day latter corwo 8 days latter but I accidently ordered the new led strips instead of the controller because I had been driving for the last 17 hours from Indiana home and was tired didn't notice what I kept in the cart. Asked them to change it since they had plenty of time but they didn't. So I'm wondering which you think is better cuz I might give them another chance if they have better controllers.
You accidentally made a really good move. I would play with those LED strips and the ghozt. The Corsomotion controller is awesome too, but it sounds like your mistake may have been for the best.
How do you determine what size resistor is needed to use for your leds?
Hey mate so for the this particular project you used 4 x ghost modules. One for each light ? Is that correct ?
No this set shown has 2 modules total, 1 per light
I have a noob question. The Lexus RC350 has LED turn signal in the front. Can we make them sequential by adding a sequential driver? 🤔
Hello, what would you charge to fix my led taillights to make it brighter? On a Chevy suburban after market for barn doors ?
SHO/N/OFF / Ronnie time I just wont my man. I’d rather be straight up.
Absolutely do the video! I want to learn! PLEASE!
Thanks! You might be interested in some of my recent videos as well. The beta group is formed for my training program at Lightsmen.com and I’ll soon be opening the doors to new members 👍
I think a course would be awesome great stuff
its comin!
Man I need some help. I'm looking for 17 inch 20+ led tail brake turn light bar surface or flush mount not something that's gonna cost 800 bucks or more
i would be down for an online course please, i need in depth on how to do sequential tails aka what all does the ghost module do and how does it integrate into my stock harness?
Hope the recent videos have helped with that a bit.
yes you should make the course. more info on the ghozt
Definitely a Ghozt video really soon. How did you like the last How To video?
Wow, this is amazing. I've tried looking up videos before of how to even do basic taillight modifications. And they all used strips. Quite irritating. Thanks for the video This is really going to help me build my taillights!
+Zac McCleary thanks bro, I’ll have a much more in depth video posted up in a mini course really soon. It’ll be boring, but 10x the value of this video if you’re trying to do the same work
FlyRyde yes it'll be close to this. Can't wait to see the videos! I'm doing this on my 02 Subaru Legacy it'll be my first time ever attempting this. Really hope I don't mess it up.
I have a stock acura integra. I'm looking to turn the stock tail lights (3 bulbs) into a sequential turn signal but also keep their stock brake/parking light function. Would I just need the ghozt module to do this? If you could direct me to a link on your webpage as I'm really interested in buying the parts. Thanks
You'd want to convert to LED bulbs, but honestly, I dont think Ghozt would be the best controller if you go that way. I think going full custom LED is going to give you the function you want with Ghozt, it just involves a lot of little tedious work to pull off, where as LED bulbs and a more basic sequencer would get you the look, without the super custom work.
I would absolutely love to do the course
I would definitely sign up for the class!!!
I would love to learn how to build custom lighting. I would sign up in a heartbeat! There isnt anything like this in st.louis and I want to wow the car and bike scene with these builds💯
How much would charge to a set for 1999 accord sedan.
How do you get custom work done by you.
I thought I could enter the course, but it says enrollment is closed. I enjoyed working with LED’s at an aviation company, and I’d like to do custom work for myself and our family cars. Any help is appreciated. I also got lights for my Tundra, but I’d like to learn how to do the sequential lights before I put on the new headlights.
Thank you Chris!
-Hugo
Do you do the addressable led on lights, would like to understand
I haven’t really played too much with them, but I need to!
Were can i get tha ghost mod from???
Awesome, if you decide to do the course I'll def sign up 👍🏻
We're starting the course website this week, so it'll launch soon!
Yes I would love to learn
I endorse your course!!!
YES! Check this out if you haven't already: czcams.com/video/_luUCXGFTQ8/video.html
I think your little classes are kind of cool I spent 3 years in automotive school to not learn anything like this.. yeah I can build an engine but I barely knew anything I actually wanted to do to my car.
im keen!
Quick question how do i wire the rgb halo to function as running light and brake light
The halo only has two wires and the factory harness three wires: ground, brake and running. Im new to this led wiring world lol
A course on this would be siiiiiick
great video. Annotated link is broken (refers to page that is no longer there)
just a heads up
Thank you! I’ll jump on that later! Lots of new parts I’m adding to the site for all the DIY guys that have been asking for it 👌
How do you know what resistor value to use? I'm down for a course too!
Johnny Bouldin there’s online calculators to help you figure shit out, but you should really do your best to dig in and do your homework on exactly what type of LED you’re dealing with first. It SERIOUSLY helps to not be the 1st guy trying to pull something off. Best bet is do what works for others. My way involves wasted money, heartache, and breaking shit before you find the right answer. I don’t recommend it.
FlyRyde thanks for the quick reply Chris!
idk bout entertaining... but one could definitely appreciate the amount of work that went into these
Not the dude that said you can pull this off with universal LED strips, lmao
Hell ya I want the course
How can I know what resistors I have to use?
Awesome work mate! What ohm resistor you use per led?
I'd be very interested in a course and could it be computer based with messenger assistants ?
I just put up a mini course for one of our new parts: www.lightsmen.com/store/M8fzmQyU
What resistor did you use?
Classic would be nice as long as it affordable and it let us know where to get the gear we need sound grate love to c your work very cool thanks
Those lights are so awesome. I wish I could do something different to my Jetta but idk. Idk what
I think you are doing an awesome job!
Especially giving all your knowledge out for free.
I am relatively new to all this and have an easy question for you - are you using one Ghozt sequencer for each tail light or just one Ghozt sequencer for both tail lights??
Also, can you give us a link to where we can purchase the required resistors?
Thank you once again!
What's name of the first song ?
No Money on My Mind Lvly. Dai & Chez...sorry I'm late to the party.
RE: Course - Oh Hell yeah!
Good vid explaining the process well - was the comment at 9:20 a Tardy Turtle from Greg the Bunny impression?! heh
I would love to sign up for this LED lighting course!! Sign me up!!
I'm down for the course! Also, how about a video about strips?
How's this? czcams.com/video/_luUCXGFTQ8/video.html
Hell yeah I'd take the course
Can these even be done for the r34 ??
Hey bro., i love your hair.. It's look so cool😁😎
Can you do a video on how to remove the grey glue from the lights please.
A course would be AWESOME. But need to be for dummies!!! I'd love to learn how to do this and will this work on a motorcycle like a Harley or any motorcycle ?
I'd like to learn to build lighting like this! I'd take a class.
So where i do I sign up for class? 😀
Just a question? Can’t you use LEDs with individual adresses? And loose all the wires ?
Great job , man!!
yes please course!!!!!
Bro, I might be late with my reply regarding this video but I'm down on a 'how to course'.. Let me know. Tony
Would love to see how to single out leds on a circuit board or strip. Like the '13+ genesis coupe tails for example. Single out those leds. Or would it better to just start fresh and build my own?
+MrDaavee I’m down. I’ll make that exact video. It’s a BITCH to isolate grounds on those Tails, but you can’t really make a stand-alone replacement board, so you have to mod the factory ribbon board.
FlyRyde awesome!! Have done a TON of bk1 and bk2 tails as well as the aftermarket tails (not too mention headlights on various makes of cars) over the years up here in Canada. The one thing I always wanted to do was a full standalone sequential on the bk2 tails. Never had the chance and didn't want to try out on a customer set.
Dave, this is what you've been doing for the BK2 tails right? czcams.com/video/_luUCXGFTQ8/video.html
FlyRyde yea, stuff like that. Adding in the power led bar across the bottom and curve up the side. I want to get the oem LEDs to do that.
What kind of led bulbs r those
Yes
What's the song at 12:18 ?
thanks for taking all that time in the video if I had a chance ill sign but im really to far from you buddy and Love working with cars love all your work im looking all your videos just sign in and sub to you buddy thank you Im really looking forward to learn at least from the vids you put in thanks again
How long did you bake them to separate the lens??
GTR tails take 5-7 minutes at 220° F
@@flyryde thank you kind Sir.. it is 3:30 am here, and the stove is getting fired up.. lol thanks again.
Yo I enjoyed watching all your videos.
I’m from New Zealand and would like to contact you to do my tail lights for my R33 skyline. Will this possible? How can I get you
I love this kind of stuff do more in-depth
up for the class too
I love watching you work and the end results are stunning to say the very least, but I wouldn't be working with a soldering pen and molten solder that close to the twins...........one minor slip and hello to a new level of pain.
I would be down for a course! please do it on youtube, because i am from the netherlands and won't be able to go there.... i love your work and really want to do things myself as you do for my own car! one question: what kind of led lights did you use because they are like square ish haha! keep up the good work man!
+StrayMinded those are called SuperFlux LEDs if you look them up. I used to use those back in the day if you look at my OG sequential stuff from years ago.
Thank you so much man! i would love to see more how to stuff on your channel! your the LED guru haha
Is this class still going to get setup?
The course is about to open up very soon. I have a lot of new content being added to it next week 👍 I’ll make sure to make a lot of announcements about it.
Bro!we love your work too bad you don't have a workshop in Australia GB
Would be cool to learn how to do these as I wont be able to find anything in the UAE. But could try.
Did u build ur eyes too? Theyre trippy
