I attempted to install LED Halo Lights on Alfa Romeo 159 Ti. How hard could it be? Well, not quite as simple as I thought...

Also just to note: don’t be afraid to use a little more glue than I did because one of mine have come loose in the lens and opening that back up to re-glue that is a headache 🥲 sooo yea a lil more glue should do the trick 👌

@todorivanov2272 2 ай бұрын

Wouldn't use hot glue for that because the heat from the bulbs will melt it

Make sure you are using a proper LED driver, not straight onto 12v, otherwise they wont last long. The drivers will strobe the LED's very quickly with PWM, but it will make them last a lot longer. In addition, DRLs should dim when headlights are on, otherwise you blind other road users. I've actually got some custom drivers somewhere I never used on my Brera from 'Project Halo'.

It's looking great. too bad it's illegal to modify front headlights in the UK. The car will not pass her next MOT. It's probably worth it. Awesome car.

Do the fog lights on the bottom as well, I've seen it done before and it looks sick when all 4 circles are illuminated.

I own myself a 06' 159 and already did some mods with it :D I went with LED H7 retrofits in front - halos aren't too legal in most of EU (tbh neither are LED retrofits :P ) but it's somewhat permanent modification... But well, tail light LED mod might be a bit more tricky than you think ;) Removing lamps is way easier, but it's bollocks with electronics - you can't just slap LED bulbs cause CANBUS will go crazy, and some LED bulbs won't completely turn off and be lit dim even with car turned off. You will have to put resistors inline for each connector, so these are 6 resistors in total - so thats a lot of tinkering, cutting cables and soldering it back. I have been planing on doing so for a while now, just can't find time and motivation so I will gladly get to know how it goes for you :D

Do let me know if you attempt it! So far so good for me! Only thing that’s gone wrong so far is the halo has unstuck and gotten lose inside the headlight unit because there wasn’t enough glue 🤦‍♂️

Hard i wanted to do this to my 159 before i sold it, id say leave the back lights but also interested what youd do with them (maybe clear lenses?)

Do each of the halos have their own control box? I have a project in mind but for it to work, they all need to be controlled individually 🤔

Aren't afraid the heat of the lamps gonna melt the hot glue down? I mean it doesnt need much of a heat 🤔

@rayskiii 2 ай бұрын

I rarely use the headlights, I usually just keep the DRL rings on but haven’t had any problems with them yet. But as a safety measure, I would recommend putting a bit more glue than I did in the video 👌
