Nice! I'm not a fan of sequential turn signals, big props on using non-sequential
Thank you! I agree, I’m kind of going for an OEM+ build want to keep it original.
Great video
Great video bro keep them coming I also have a TL as well this is alot of work I will try one day
It’s really not that bad! Just take your time with it and you should get it done in no time! Thank you for the support!!
@@c-dubs9968 what length did you use for yours I got a 05 tl can I do it to my headlights I really wanna get the type s ones but there way to expensive
@@pedrogonzalez-mw4jn its 12 inches
where did you put the capacitors? idk where to mount them
How did you wire it all?
About to do this with my 08 tl but with the sequential 12" strip. Great video! The wiring should still be the same no matter the led strips, correct? Its that the sequential will match my sequential mirror setup better imo. Do you route the drl wire to the factory drl wire?
Thank you for the kind words! It should look amazing I thought about seq. but I decided against it. I agree it would look great with the mirrors. I believe the wiring should be the same, you have power ground and blinker.
My 04 doesn’t have the center DRL but that shouldn’t change for you. The wiring was spliced through the blinker wires. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
@@c-dubs9968 I'll try a few different options before i wire it all together for good. Im gonna wire the halos so they're always on with the acc fuse and pull the fuse out for the drl's. That way the 4 halos will basically be the new drl's. Id like the white part of the strip to always be on with the halos. When does your white strip turn on? Turn of the key or when you turn on your headlights? Either way I'll do some tinkering and figure it out, just curious how you have yours set up to turn on
quick question so I see you removed the turn signal bulb to route the wire what then fills in the hole? seems the opening will be quite big
I’m sorry, I actually thought of this after the video. So what I did is I used the old bulb holder I cut a notch in it and routed the wire through the notch and was still able seal it pretty well.
Nice work. Any updates on the strips? That is if you still have the car and setup.
They’re still holding on strong! I turn them on every chance I get.
Dude quick question, did you get two profile pívot strip W/ driver (switch back sequential)?
I didn’t get sequential but I got 2 profile pivot 12inch switch back
Great video I just wished you showed the car
I guess I could make a CZcams short or something for you guys!
can you do a follow up vid on how it looks on the car at night
It looks insane…. I think you should do it and find out 😉.
@@c-dubs9968 I am I already bought the led switchback I was just curious on how it looks on the car
Any mosiuture problems? What silcone did u use?
So, on my first one I used silicone. The problem with that is that it off-gasses, so there’s a weird haze inside that headlight. On my second go around I used 3m window sealant in the video. No moisture problems because I didn’t cause any openings. Just make sure you give enough time for the window sealant to dry.
Bro needed to change his shirt. Damnit pickle rick
Do you have pictures of this setup on your TL on Instagram or anything?
I actually do not! But if you dm me on Instagram I’ll send you some!
Whats your insta? I definitely have questions hahaha
Could you cut the length of the led strip?
Yeah, but only at certain spots I think there is a tutorial on CZcams somewhere.
@@c-dubs9968 if you come across the link I appreciate it as much as I appreciate your reply! God bless 🙌🙏
@@c-dubs9968 oh and happy new year 🎉
3inches on the length?
12 inches!
Can you show how to wire it?
It’s in the description but if you want you can DM me on Instagram (cwbodie86) and I can send you pictures.
Just followed you I’m @mikkodator
Did you figure out how to wire it I need some help
Bro stopped CZcams right when he was about to start taking off smh
