Yes, the way I wired it, the door lights only turn on when the headlights are on. If you want them to be on at all times, you need to find a constant 12v supply in the door. This may be hard to find though, you can try tapping into the window motors. If you can’t find anything with a constant 12v source, you’ll have to manually run a wire from the cabin into the door (this is easier than it sounds).

@@TheAutoSurgeon Thank you for the response. I think im gonna run the dash like through the ambient lighting int he cigarette socket like you mentioned and also the ambient lighting on the doors for a more oem look. Thanks again for the tutorial

Completely depends on how you wire it in. You can make them work either way.

@TheAutoSurgeon so how would you wire them to turn on when you unlock the car? Stock ambient lights turn on when you unlock the car so in my opinion it looks nicer that way.

Yes, should be exactly the same. Just make sure you order a pre LCI steering wheel. The LCI and Pre LCI ones have different mounting mechanisms on the back of the steering wheel.

@ yes, I know they are different, I was talking about the wiring and obd if there is any difference, that's what I was thinking! Thx

Wiring should be identical

Yes, you can. I installed a black fabric cover on top after I realized you could see them through the sunroof.

Only if you can find a way to attach new 4 wires and the same specific connector to the cut piece. When you cut the strip, it no longer has a connector for power on the cut piece.

@ thanks. I cut it too short yesterday lol and the supplier couldn’t send extras. Do you have any knowledge of where i can find the 110 cm wire. Thanks for ur help.

Do you mean the extension wire that attaches from the right side to left side of the dash? Here’s a link: a.aliexpress.com/_m0H4CcF if you need other replacement parts that Silverholder can’t provide (the actual light strips), you can buy them here: a.aliexpress.com/_mq6Ug4L

It’s called “Magic Lantern” on the App Store!

Shown in video, in the trunk.

Yeah i saw it right after ​@@TheAutoSurgeon

Where are you referring to?

@@TheAutoSurgeon at the cigarette lighter i found out it’s the shitty 22 gauge power supply not making good contact to car awful product was your accessory power 22 gauge aswell?

I tapped into the actual + and - for the power to the cigarette lighter. Maybe the 22 gauge wire was for the ambient lighting on the cigarette lighter. Either way, I think it would still allow for enough current to power the control module. Did you test the brown/red and red wires with a multimeter to confirm it had 12v?

@@TheAutoSurgeon I tapped into the same wire as you i’m referring to the ambient lighting main control module mine came with 22 gauge supply i might return and shop a different product it seems the ultra thin wire isn’t feasible

The wire on the ambient lighting kit itself? It’s not too thin at all, the LEDs draw very little current. It’s more than likely where you’re drawing power from, double check with a multimeter.

Made all the interior carbon trim myself via a skinning process.

If you want the lights to turn on automatically at night, tap into any factory ambient lighting for the main control module.

@@TheAutoSurgeonso i tap red to red and black to brown correct ?

Hi, sorry I’m not 100% sure what you mean. Could you rephrase a little? But from what I can understand, you mean on the little paper there were two other fuse numbers? You can plug the fuse tap into any of those fuse numbers. If you mean the two fuses on the actual fuse tap itself, the one fuse is the one we remove to plug the fuse tap in, and the other fuse is a new one you need to buy that’s going to be connected to the starlight kit.

@ right basically what I meant is - so you locate the cigarette port fuse, unplug that fuse, plug the cigarette port fuse into the fuse splitter (the wire that powers the star light) then get another fuse separately for the starlights that connect on to the fuse splitter? If that’s what you done can u tell me what amp fuse u used or wich one i need

Yes, exactly! I used a 10amp fuse, a 7.5amp would work too. Just don’t use a fuse higher than 10amp.

@@TheAutoSurgeon nice one bro

Check out the steering wheel install video on my channel

I think you just type it as: 587231

I think it was because there wasn’t good enough access to drill the hole on the top of the storage area. If you have space on your car, it would be nice to install it on the top.

As long as you tap into an already fused power source, you don’t need to use another fuse. But yes, you can install an extra one if desired, it is redundant tho. If you’re directly tapping into the battery for power, then a fuse is required to run it safely.

I think the company is revamping their website, maybe check back couple days!

I think they might be revamping their website, maybe check back in a couple days

Holding up great! No issues

Check the link in the video description!

There’s a link in the full videos description!

Any automotive store should have them in stock!

@@TheAutoSurgeon I mean the whole cable where the device and the fuses are connected, where can you get it? second 15:15

​​⁠Yes, the fuse tap, right? It should be available at any automotive or car audio store. Just ask them for a fuse tap. The rest of the harness was made using the connectors that came with the kit and some extra wire.

@@TheAutoSurgeon Okay okay thank you very much my friend

@@TheAutoSurgeon Is it enough to have the device connected to the fuse for it to work or is it necessary to have a negative socket?

How would that work with putting it different doors with the same kit

Super glue has a super low viscosity, it would be too messy and could leak through the hole onto the headliner fabric. You’d also need a ton of it and it’s not cheap. You could use epoxy or silicone-it would be a little messy and you’d have to wait for it to dry, but it’ll create a strong bond.

@ I hadn't thought about the leaks 😅 Another suggestion would be to get two kits with less fibers to also put in the doors 😉

Yes to both

Yes, you can just replace the light motor. Not sure how long it should last, I’d probably expect it to last the life of the car, but who knows for sure.

?

So the length is referring to the actual length of the strands, so for bigger cars, you’ll want longer strands to span across the headliner. The wattage refers to the power the LEDs, the higher the wattage, the brighter the stars. I’d get the 800 star 20w light motor and the 9w 3m shooting star module-just so you have some wiggle room when it comes to installation!

@ awesome, thanks so much!

:(

Thank you! Depends on the car and number of stars, probably around $2500-3000CAD

I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It looks like you might live in Canada

Yup, in the GTA!

I wish I had a discount code for you!

Yes, in the app that the kit uses, click the icon in the top right corner and there should be an option that says “startup animation” - just toggle that off

Which extra one are you referring to? The one under the radio controls? That one I just plugged directly into the main control module. The modules have multiple slots so that you can plug in multiple LEDs.

@TheAutoSurgeon awesome! Thanks for that! I've just installed a kit after watching your video! I'm trying to work out that if I bought another kit, if those modules will connect to the same main controller as the others!

Someone else asked me the same question, honestly I don’t know the answer 100%. But I’d imagine it would connect-reach out to the company and they should be able to confirm.

@@TheAutoSurgeon you've been a great help! I appreciate your help, so much!!! I'll check back in with you and let you know how I go!

@@TheAutoSurgeon it works!

You need to double check the power source. What did you tap into? If you tapped into factory ambient lighting, like I did in the video, it’ll only turn on when your headlights turn on, at night. If your door lights are connected to a constant 12v supply, change the power source for the main controller, maybe that one is connected to your factory ambient lighting power. Change it to a constant (always on when the car is on) power source and it’ll be on at all times.

That’s pretty terrifying, I’m glad it didn’t fall into the engine! Otherwise, a 3 hour job would have turned into an engine replacement 😂
