Hey can you drop me a quick note I got these but I assure about hooking up hook yellow to yellow but on my plug I have a black n purple n yellow on my drl plug so yellow to yellow but the red n black is it black to black n the red goes to purple idk i have a Honda can you please help i really appreciate it
Hey just wondering if anyone can help, so when I was watching this video, I seen how you tap the yellow drl wire to the green for indicator, but I have a Toyota Corolla 2018, and for the indicator I only have a black and white wire for the indicator, which one should I tap into? Thanks for the help
So far my sequential amber lights are the only ones working and not the white DRL. To clarify, please let me know if steps are correct? 1. Both black wires from the LED strip connects to a ground metal of the car. 2. Connect green wire from turn signal to yellow wire of the LED strip 3. Connect the red wire from the LED strip to the red wire that is tapped to the 10amp fuse (connected to the empty fuse space of the fuse box)
Black wire to ground or negative on battery. Green, yellow, or anything else to signaling wire (your signal light is best bet). Red to empty fuse or ACC fuse.

Hi Rajeev, Why don't you connect the DRL wire to the DRL wire of the cars headlight? In that case the added DRL is simultaniously switcht with the DRL of the car. Or am I making a mistake here? Greatings from the Netherlands.
I am trying to put these on a 2016 vw Passat. My drl and my turning signal is on the same circuit. When I use the turning signal it works. But how do I get it to go back to led?
I guess this needs separate line for DRL and turn signal. Wonder how come your Passat having it in same line, may be this is CAN controlled. Maybe you have to have a CAN decoder build specifically for this case
Nice job! Idk if you can help me but I have a 03 buick lesabre custom, I don't have heated or turn signal mirrors now, but I'm trying to add the turn signal glass with arrow pods on the back, same as factory. I bought the oem mirror glasses with the indicator arrows in them(only the limited models came with the signal mirror feature), two wires coming out of the mirror, I ran the wires up to the headlight assy and was going to splice into the side signal socket(only two wires there too). Should be easy but the arrows in the mirrors stay on constantly but blinked when the turn signal is activated and then light constantly when turn signal is off. I think this is not working correctly because of the drl system. It was darker inside of the garage when this occurred so thought to take for a ride in daylight and nothing in the mirrors worked, no light in the arrows at all! Can you help me to wire this correctly to work as it should? The signal in the mirrors should obviously only blink when the turn signal is turned on. I was gonna try splicing into the dedicated turn signal in the frt bumper but it had more then two wires coming out of that socket. Maybe THATS the one to splice into.... IDK. If the car didn't have drl, this would be easy. There is no information anywhere I can find on this, I've looked everywhere. There is one vid on CZcams on this but he doesn't show how to wire it. There must be a way to properly wire these in I'm sure, but I'm not getting it. I don't know if this matters but I'm trying this to the left side first, I haven't wired the right side yet. Will it only work until I wire both sides at the same time? I'm only trying this with one side is that creating an open circuit or something? Instead of tapping both wires from mirror into the socket, do I have to connect the black wire from mirrors to a separate ground elsewhere? I'm totally stumped! DESPERATE! THANKS!
Please can you email me at rajeevvelikkal@gmail.com or whatsapp me in the number given in my personal website www.rajeev.velikkal.com. Definitely we can work this out
Greetings sir! May I ask that do you connect both DRLs into 1 fuse tap (red) and 1 ground (black)? Or do you use 1 fuse tap and 1 ground for each DRL (meaning have to use 2 fuse tap and 2 ground for both DRL)? Amazing work BTW!
I know to mirror it to toyota touch 2 monitor that comes in Europe version. But not sure of Japanese version. What connection options do you have in this head unit, Apple car play/Android Auto?
Rajeev I don’t think it has either of those 😕. I’ve seen on CZcams that they put an additional AV input after removing the head unit or something! Really sorry I’m a real biginner to this field!
For additional AV you can look at my video that says how to enable AV on Touch 2 monitor. Since the wirings and connectors are all same should work on this head unit as well. Or try to figure out if there is an additional AV pin, or you can also use the reverse camera AV.
Last couple of months the bulb is in wrapped condition and so far no issues. Even I was thinking it will create some heat inside but looks like the aluminium foil is able to absorb it.
Can u please answer my question.. i connected the black to body and yellow to green.. now when i press signal.... it goes on and off nust like signal bulb.. it doesnt have time to glow full
Please make sure that you bought the sequential led strip and not just an LED strip, sequential LED strip will have a black box to which the strip is connected by a ribbon cable.
hi rajeev what color is position wire on a stock headlight? is it green, as shown in the video? my turn signal has that yellow wire but today I tried to connect it to the same color and failed.
This is a UK version Icon model. Maybe the wire color codings are different in other country versions. Suggest you to use a multi meter to find out the right wires
Hi Rajeev Super work! really appreciate it. I'm from Sri Lanka and have 2016 CHR, do you know any person whom i can get this done in Sri Lanka by any chance? Thank yoy
Sorry, I live in Singapore and have no clue, as this is something I did as a hobby and is not my profession. This is actually a generic product, which you can order online, and get installed from any local workshop there in Sri Lanka, or offer me a Sri Lankan Visa and flight tickets, will come and install it for you :), just kidding. As a reference you can show them this CZcams video.
Oh I"m sure most of us would like to have you here in Sri Lanka for share some of your experience ! Its a beautiful island and worth coming for Holiday if you get a chance !!! anyway thank you for the reply, I will order online and go to a local shop. By the way Rajeev do you know what type of what type of transmission ( is it CVT or normal automatic) and how to maintain it properly ? I have NGX50 Japanese domestic version imported from Japan. Thank you
The other option is to use a sharp pin to which a wire is soldered to and pierce the wire and take the connection from the pin. Can remove the pin later if going for any warranty claim. Also what I have seen is that the small insulation cut that the T tap makes is not that visible. The other option will be to trace the wire and find out if this is coming from the fuse box and use a fuse tapper
Agreeing with you. But there should be some solutions. It is a fact that most of the drivers are loosing their concentration in driving while using mobiles (bluetooth or the other way) Misusing I should say.
I guess we don’t need drl controller. This is just a connection we tap from the turn signal connections. DRL line of this can be connected directly to any ignition on line.
@@carDIYsHmm i have connect the power line to the position lights and led stirp turns on when i switch the headlights on! But when i connect the wellow wire to the turn signal lights it doesn't work...
Please try just connecting the yellow line only. Maybe the one you purchased cannot automatically switch between lines. But normally it should automatically switch off drl and jump to yellow when yellow line activated
@@carDIYs hi rajeev i bought a strip version they are 4mm thickness, but i have to cut them to 45cm because i was not able to close the front bumper, it seems they are too large, how manu millimeters.are yours ? 2mm? 3 or 4mm?

Google translator says “how much does it cost”. The answer is less than 100 dollar a pair. Depends on from where you get. Chinese sites like AliExpress sells it even cheaper
Plus he added a fuse in an empty spot,that is the best way so no other fuse suffer from power draw.i would have spent an extra few box and get an circuit fuse tap instead of welding.
I don't understand wrapping the globe in foil? Like, just remove the globe if you don't want it there. That way if you need it later you can just reinstall it, and still have a lot of life left in it. AND, you don't run the risk of losing a ball of foil in your headlight housing! Good luck fishing that one out!
If you remove the indicator bulb then the out put load resistance of the flasher unit will become less and it will flash faster. The bulb is kept to keep the flashing speed normal
@@carDIYs ah, actually makes sense. I will find this information very useful when my light strip arrives. I'm installing on my 2001 mazda 121 metro. An old car, but when I'm done upgrading it's going to look brand new.

My God , so much pointless work, without any benefit and reason !!! To disassemble so many elements from the car, just to mount some "useless lights", without any importance and use.... Sorry, but it seems very stupid to me!!! If you play with the electrical wires of a hybrid car , your car might catch fire if you don't know how to make the electrical connections professionally. Put in your mind that : this is not something to play with.
Very Nice video. I have seen hundreds of videos no one explain that much good for wiring connection. I have order already need to install.
After watching this video a hundred times finally finished installing it! Made my chr look 💯 better, thanks for the video!!
I've got an 18', thinking of doing it as well.
Was it the same for you? a Green wire to splice into?

Brilliant idea for wrapping the stock signal 👍👍
The tin foil will reflect all the heat back to the bulb and could start a fire.

No.. connect yellow wires to the respective side green wire

It was giving some issue for me and so thought of connecting directly.
Brother pruchase link de do agar hai to and kya price hai iska
Do you have to tap a fuse at fuse panel (ACC) for Red wire if you have existing stock DRL? Can you just tap into the other + wire at headlights bulb?
Actually initially I tried this and it was giving me some problem, and so decided to tap power from fuse box to be on safer side.

that's safe when you wrap indicator bulbs for the future? and you wrap just only the edge or full of bulbs? thanx anw..
Last couple of months the bulb is in wrapped condition and so far no issues. Even I was thinking it will create some heat inside but looks like the aluminium foil is able to absorb it.
Yes, you need to wrapp the entire glass part of the bulb, and better if you can extend it slightly to the holder area as well for more grip
I am trying to follow this and do the wiring for my 2006 highlander but I dont have an unoccupied space in my fuse box. Help!
You don’t need an unoccupied space, but instead buy a splice fuse of higher power and replace one of the fuses with the splicing fuse

There is that car come with built in drl lights. In the headlight you see the 3 dot led well that the drl style for that version
use some drl relay..
how can I take power to drl for the passenger side?
"Connect fuse tapper to BOTH red wires"
You need a really long red wire to connect to the passenger side.
