Hello! Sorry, I don't understand English, I write through a translator. What rings did you put in the headlights 12V? And you connected them to the wires that included the factory LEDs? Is there also 12V voltage? As a result, the rings work in the size mode at 50% and on the brake light at 100% brightness

@junseoul5033 Жыл бұрын

If ur using the brake circuit board would that mean ur halos would act as brakelights now aswell ? Without the tail as turn mod.

Did you ever upgrade your led rings? I did mine and like you mentioned during the day they are hard to see. During nightime i have no issues. Wondering what rings to get this time to make sure theyre nice and bright during daytime.

@calynhutto6424 4 жыл бұрын

Just saw your comment, I've been away from youtube for a while. I would go with Diode Dynamics Red halos, they 100% have the brightest output but they aren't cheap.

@wendymichel6770 4 жыл бұрын

So do the halos turn brighter when the brakes are pressed or do you lose that

@calynhutto6424 4 жыл бұрын

The Halos will indeed get brighter when you turn signal or hazard, and even brighter when you apply the brake.

@calynhutto6424 4 жыл бұрын

Hey guys, I didn't mention this at the time of upload but depending on the LED rings you purchase you may have issues seeing the brakes or turn signals in the day time or direct sunlight, which is a safety issue. To remedy this, I recommend either purchasing higher quality LED's than I did (Diode Dynamics and Profile by Morimoto both make LED's that are visible in sunlight) OR leaving the turn signal and OEM brake light LED's intact when performing this mod.

@sammyglo5354 3 жыл бұрын

So I did this and I wired to the black wires and it seems that maybe these wires get less power than the others because the halos are pretty dim and I noticed the black and white wire are a little bit bigger, not sure is this true?

@calynhutto6424 3 жыл бұрын

Hello, I have noticed this as well. I've been meaning to test other wiring methods to find the best light output, but I'm 100% certain the power running from the led board is feeding the halos enough voltage. Further testing will be done once I start working on more tail lights.

Nice Work but i have a concern how behind the white halo ring the light RED where they come from? Did you leave some red led connected? i not follow this step by the way which halo light you mention bring or illuminate perfect on sun light during day?

@calynhutto6424 4 жыл бұрын

So the white halos look red because of the red tail light lenses. And for the brightest during the day I suggest using Diode Dynamics or Profile Prism halo rings. They cost a lot more than amazon LEDs but they are much higher quality.

And when I connected the new halos I did not leave any of the old stock LED, they were completely replaced by the rings
