Angel eyes and dynamic LED turn signals [Tail lights retrofit modifications HOW-TO] Alfa Romeo 159

- Something really new and unusual for Alfa Romeo 159/Brera/Spider - tail lights retrofit modifications: angel eyes and dynamic LED turn signals.
How to DIY step-by-step instructions without opening the lights:
00:17 Step 1: Remove the taillights
Remove the tail lights. You need to disconnect the wire connectors, unscrew 3 nuts with wrench number 8 at each light housing part and push it out.
00:28 Step 2: Remove the bulbs and wipe the lights
Remove the bulbs holder and a sealing rubber, wipe the lights.
00:35 Step 3: Measure and cut off LED strips
Flexible LED strips in a silicone transparent casing with side glow will be used as an element for the angel eyes.
Link to buy: ali.ski/Otpoy
Measure and cut off 2 strips 13cm long (for lights on the trunk lid), and 2 strips 15cm long (for side lights)
00:41 Step 4: Stick matte tape
Also, for better and softer light diffusion from the LED strip, stick a half-transparent matte tape on the top side.
00:48 Step 5: Stick double-sided tape
Stick double-sided tape for secure to the taillight housing.
00:55 Step 6: Measure and cut off silicone sticks
So that the light from the LED strip does not look too thin inside the taillight, on top of it add silicone flexible sticks with a 10mm diameter, cut them in half, two 14 cm long and another two 16 cm long (respectively for the lights on the trunk lid and for the side ones)
01:02 Step 7: Put LED strips and silicone sticks inside the tail light
The most exciting moment is stuffing LED strips inside the tail light. With my medium length fingers and thanks to the flexibility of the tape, all this can be done without opening the housing - through the hole for the bulbs.
After successful placement of the tape, place previously prepared silicone sticks on the top of it.
Repeat this for the rest of taillights with strips and silicone sticks into the holes with a red reflector.
01:16 Step 8: Final check
Performance check - connect to 12V power source and look, check that the tape is installed and shines evenly.
Done!
But that’s not all...
01:21 Dynamic (sequential) LED turn signals in 3 steps
01:23 Step 1: Sequential lamp ignition modules
For this we need modules for sequential ignition of bulbs for Ford Mustang.
Link to buy: ali.ski/vdggQ
The module has a wire for incoming voltage (+) from the turn wire (red color), and a black ground wire (-).
And 4 outputs - 3, respectively, for each sequential light bulb, and a ground (-) wire
01:26 Step 2: LED bulbs with dual function
Also we need LED bulbs with dual function (used for DRL + turn signal) - white glow (for brake lights and rear fog) and orange - for turn signals.
Link to buy: ali.ski/uCd7Z
Standard turn signal bulb lefts without changing and stays in place.
01:29 Step 3: Install the bulbs and connect wiring
Install the bulbs in the appropriate places and connect everything to the car's wiring.
Angel eye power wire (+) to the position lights wire, ground wire (-) to the car’s ground wire.
Bulbs additional power wire (+) to the brake/rear fog light wire, and the main power wire (+) to the sequential light bulbs module, ground wire (-) to the car’s ground wire.
Done!
Let's see the result: 01:35

The niciest 159 ever existed. I simply adore it.
thank you very much!
The product quality of this video is next level
I am very pleased to hear that! 🙏🙏
BRUTALNO!!!
Kao i uvek... SVAKA CAST!!!👍👍👍

dzięki bardzo!
It looks AMAZING! Svaka cast💪🏼
thank you puno!
That back end is looking mean!
and a little tricky :)
Perfect work! Congratiolations from Portugal!!!
Thank you! Greetings to you!
I used to do a lot of modifying of my own, many years ago on Alfetta's, 75's and Giulia's, but grew older and tend to prefer keeping things stock on my current 159 SW. Yet, probably also because you've presented this in another highly professional footage, I'm tempted.... great job, looks the business! 👍
I understand and accept your thoughts, but I think that 159 is not yet quite old to add something fresh, so I'm experimenting :D thx!
@@NikolasKolis I hate most of the tuning parts being offered nowadays. Especially bmw like angel eyes or back lights made in Poland or Turkey, but your car, in spite of all the modifies you made, still looks like a fabric model and this is what I love about it. Special respect regards to the fact that you made all by your own and things like front lights are unrepeatable for most of the 159 owners like me. Great job, Nico! You've made a 159 icon.
@@tamerlanibragimov1611 totally agree with you about things that are looking strange and alien to Alfa Romeo, but, since I love something unusual, I try to do it the way it would look if it was done at the factory! Thank you for such pleasure words! Большое спасибо!
great job, great car, and this look....
thank you so much!
Odlican video, velika pohvaka za objasnjenje i ne moze prostije da bude, bez muke za otvaranjem stop lampe, prosto jako, bavim se autoelektikom i to mi nije palo na pamet, sad je vec kasno da se igram sa mojom Alfom 159
Ali vec sutra i ona dobija angel eyes stop.
Samo tako nastavi sve podrske
hvala lepo! srecno!
That looks fxcking epic! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 👍👍

@@NikolasKolis ya zdes.
Congratulations are a sight. I like how you did it because it is a minimally invasive job. You may have spent time on rehearsal but you haven't opened the lights. Now I would like to do it too and I would like to have all the links to buy the right material and a description to do a good job.
Bravo really good.
thank you so much! you have all links to buy parts you need in the description to this video ;)
Super👍😎

I must do this on mine 😍
let's do it!
Не столько сама переделка понравилась, сколько видос.:)
Хаха 😂 спасибо!
Круто смотрится
благодарю!
Hey mate, love what you have done to your Alfa! Looks great! What are the silicon sticks and tape that you’re using? Thanks.
hi! thx :) silicon sticks are from hardware store, tape is usual semitransparent tape
Она восхитительна
благодарю!
When will you produce a version for the Alfa GT? These look fantastic and really enhance the unique Alfa look. A Front Lights option would be amazing too.
uhh good question :D I'll think about that ;)
@@NikolasKolis - thanks Nik. Just thinking how it would transform my GT 3.2 V6 :-)
Bellissimi
Grazie!
TOP!!!
thx!!!
This looks so sick. Love the style the video is filmed! Gives me an idea if it would also work on my lancer
thank you! yeah, it will look great on lancer x too, we have a bit similar tails :D
@@NikolasKolis yeah exactly. Just have to see if the insides are the same if it will work
@@BlazingMusic01 let me know ;)
Absolutely gorgous, gives a different edge to the rear, extra mean. The way you created the video and angles you shot, superb.
One question, if you're still running this car or perhaps someone else please.
Confused about step two. Do we need replace all the bulbs with some type of dual function or just one dual bulb each left and right?
Plus I'm so confused on how its all wired. Also what are the silicone sticks? Thanks
Nice job! #LaMeccanicadelleEmozioni
thank you!
Greetings from Italy 💪🏼💪🏼
Salutare!
Отлично смотрится, спасибо за видео. Не так уж и много подобной инфы по красавице 159

Take all of my money now! This would look awesome on my SW
ahahaa :D its true, will look awesome on SW too ;) you have links to purchase all you need to do it in the description for this video
@@NikolasKolis just none of the skill to do it 😁
@@snoopdutt1985 just try :D not so complicate
Hi love the lights makes it look alit more modern I was wanting to do the same on my 156 but how do you wire the sequential indicator when one of the lights in the boot?
thank you! I put additional cables to the boot :)
Супер се е получило!
благодаря!!
Мислил ли си за монтаж на Touch Screen навигация/музика/телефон?
@@vininio имам такава instagram.com/p/B4kk_AJgX_C/?igshid=b6gf2o23kd4g
Трябваше да предположа🙂
Каква марка и модел?
Ти ли я монтира или в сервиз?
Аз не мога да се реша, страх ме е да не прецакам нещо🙄
My problem is what kind of modules did you have for sequential ignition? If you can tell me the exact type i can made the same as you but mine now not blinking just when i turn on it's just on whit the led strips. :) I hope you remember the modul types. Thanks in advance and awsome videos.
Браво чудесна работа, бързо, лесно, евтино и най-важното - ефектно! 😃
Понеже знам колко си обичаш и цениш колата, искаш ли да ти отправя едно предизвикателство!? 😃

Helloo, best and top modification, i have 3 questions, 1: Led strip needs resistors for no error?... 2: Where did you get silicone sticks? And 3: Led strip color is only white?.. thank you
Hi! Thank you!
1 - Yes, need resistors 50w6j
2 - in a hardware store
3 - yes, only white color
Show more details about wireing and where to buy the products
please check description to this video, you will find links for purchase the products and info about wiring. If you'll have more question feel free to ask me there
колата е брутално яка
мерси!
I like your car
Thank you!
It look amazing. Whis alfa is AWD?
thx! its FWD automatic
Золотые руки
Благодарю!
Looks great! I bought all I needed, but when I connect the right side bulb of the outer tail light, which should only light up when the break is pressed down, it flickers all the time. When I press the brake it lights constantly as it should but all the time when it's not pressed it flickers. Did you put additional resistance?
And also how did you fit the drl lights under the plastic bulb holder? Does it even snap in place?
Hi Nikolas. My last message does not appear to have posted. Could you
provide a video or diagram for connections for the dynamic turn signals.
I've got all the parts but the connectors are not common so it is a bit
confusing! Also the comments regarding resistors are only for the angel
eyes, correct, as the bulbs have resistors already connected? Thanks.
Bonjour, merci pour cette vidéo qui et superbe j'ai une question je suis entrain de faire la même chose que toi et je bloque sur l'alimentation de la veilleuse stop car j'ai toujours la veilleuse allumé de l'ampoule ! Comment tu fais pour le branchement merci
VOT MASHINA,,,,,,,, SUPER!!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍
You bought white or red led strips? Congrs , great work!
white for more warm color in finish, red for more cold color in dfinish. both will be red but with a bit different shade& I used white :)
@@NikolasKolis thanks!
Super ! Pour les deux feux de reculs, vous avez simplement commandé le feux arrière de la version anglaise ? Cela nécessite un recablage du feu ?
Sur quoi avez vous repiqué l'alimentation des leds ? Sur le faisceau directement ou avez vous remplacé la cosse originelle ?
Merci d'avance !
yes, GB version second reverse light, and 3 min with wire change for that.
The original output did not change, I connected it directly to the wiring
Hi there. I did this to my 159sw and it’s awesome. But these days the temperatures are very high and I see the silicone sticks are melted down. I don’t know what is their melting temperature but be sure you use sticks with higher melting temperatures.
Hi! Yesm I use 300+ celcious degrees melting, and have no any issue with them. Try to find similar and change
Thanks, I’ll change them.
looks great!
Can you add the link to buy the led strip and also link to buy led bulbs just to replace the existing ones without the sequential ignition (this is not legal in my place)
thx! all the links you can find in the description to this video
@@NikolasKolis i am looking to replace the backlight brake bulbs with led, similar to what you show but not dual function
Hey, really nice project! I have a few questions regarding this:
The LED strips are always on as soon as your turn on the car right? If so what color are the LED strips and where did you connect them? because on the link you gave they also have the ones that change color.
The silicone tubes are glued to the lights or they just fit in with pressure?
Hi! Thank you!
LED strips are not always ON, only when position lights ON.
Color is only white (they have more variants, select "only white")
Silicone tubes are just fitted with pressure, no glue or tape :)
@@NikolasKolis great, thanks a lot! Love your project and what you did to the car! Keep at it! ;)
@@Ricardo-zz7mz thx mate !
Heyhey! I've got a question for you regarding the remapping of the ECU and the clutch. How long ago/how many km ago did you remap it and how's the clutch on that?
I dont have clutch because of automatic transmission, anyway I made remap 80 000 km age and everything is just fine
More beutiful angel here ❤️
But how about evaporation?
thank you!
no evaporations, everything is fine ;)
Like Calibra tuning...
what does it mean?
Have you been in Montenegro a couple days ago? I think I saw you in Podgorica, I recognized your alfa and BG plates
right, I'm still in Montenegro :) love this country
@@NikolasKolis you are welcome here :) This is one of the best looking 159s :)
@@pedjaboskovic5554 hvala ljepo druze!
Hello, thanks for the video! I've noticed that the parking light and braking light are on the same bulb. How did you manage to keep only brake light on that bulb? thanks
Hi! Parking lights connected to the "angel eyes rings", and brake light becomes only one
@@NikolasKolis Ok thanks, I'll try that 🍀
Hello!!! I have a 2.4 jtd van and I will try to do what you did! but I have doubts... what light exactly do you order in the leds for the half moon?! red to orange or white to orange? and another doubt is which number of the 3 available for purchase you choose in the last link!!? already in the description you mention that there are 2 for the brakes and 2 for the change of direction, but in the link you mention, it only has for the change of direction!! use the same?! there are 4 led lamps I have to buy?!
Hi ! I saw the alpha 159 tail light tiing video! Let me ask you a question: where and what is the name of that sequentials module! Where did you order!
Hi! Check in description to this video there is a name and link to order
Looks great I want to do this but how did you get both the left & right side reverse lights to be white. On the original light the left side is white for one reverse light but the right hand side is red for one foglight.
EU and GB versions has different sides for reverse/fog lights, so I found one tail light with reverse white section from GB version and changed mine EU version tail light with red fog light section.
@@NikolasKolis Thanks do you have an updated link for the LED strip as this one doesn't seem to work for me, also how do I connect the sequence boxes into the car wiring & how many boxes do I need? Also how did you get your TI side skirts to stay on? Many Thanks
Show!
👍👍
Nice work 👌 whitch size of exhaust pipes, 100or 114mm,,?
thx! 105 :)
Top
thx!
everything is fine, but show you how to connect this module. where and what wires should I connect with each other ...
готово! все сделал, но вот столкнулся с вопросом какие нужно ставить резисторы и на что? только на стопы или на габарит тоже?
короче сколько нужно резисторов? и каких?)
По одному на стопы и габариты с каждой из сторон (4 всего). Резисторы 50w6j. Один провод к минусу, второй к плюсу (габарита или стопа соотвественно). Сами резисторы закрепить саморезом к кузову
Where do yu connect the cables ?

Who did software for u?
thx! 👍
which software do you mean?
Światła świetne :O , zmiana przeciwmgielnych na dwie strony i wstecznych również na dwie jak najbardziej na plus zwłaszcza że te pojedyncze wsteczne daje bardzo mało światła. Kierunkowskazy ? Hmm.. jak dla mnie to trochę przesada, myślę że styl całych świateł czyli te trzy osobne hmm komory nie pasują do tego typu kierunkowskazów. Tak czy inaczej, bardzo fajny pomysł, podoba mi się i chciałbym takie :D (bez kierunkowskazów :P ) Pozdrawiam serdecznie :) Bardzo ładna alfa
bardzo dziękuję za komentarz i opinię! doceniam to
