Nice, one small thing, I would buy a cheap xbox360 adapter cable to avoid cutting the power supply. You can get xbox360 to xbox360E adapter, so you cut the xbox360E plug instead. Also now you can remove the bulky PS when not needed. The ferrite is a filter for EMI/RFI interference, to lower the electric noise level. Can be also very usefull in car when you got a cheap voltage buck-boost converter or anything that send noise in your car radio. Can buy tons on any chinese website for cheap. I added some on my LED bar, LED ditch LEDs, 12V to 5V USB adapter (for hdmi splitter and amazonfirestick) and headrest monitors. Make a huge difference.
If you use a cell phone adapter and dismantle it then you’d just change the zener diode or add an extra one 6.2v + 5.6v in series to get you around 11.8v. This would save messing about with boxes and there’s only 2 wires out + and - not everyone has an Xbox kicking around but most have an old AC cell phone adapter laying in a draw somewhere. And if your clever enough you can also use a laptop adapter as well with some mods applied.
See when I was comin up little kids bought the xbox, when u were ready to step up to the big boys toys u bought a playstation. Lol I bought a solar tickle charger hooked to an old battery mounted under my desk. Then I ran 2 remote battery posts that stick out of the corner of the desk to test electronics. We really need to link up for an e36 application. Either something different than the halos everyone does for the headlights or we figure out the crazy tail light setup and finally come up with tail light set up and ride it all the way to the bank.
How I wired mine I have it to flip a switch to turn on the green light using a rocker switch. The red and blue you have can be used to switch it on or off. Mine had a green and white that I wired to a rocker switch. I've used it to turn on leds and itll turn on hids ballast just fine.
I don't have an Xbox 360 power brick. I'll be looking for one to light up any led effectively and I like to know how you get one of those module you have on your hand.

awesome little hack, Chris your content is spot on and in great detail 🤘
I’ve been using a pc power supply for a while I think this is going to be the next one I do! Thank you for the video
I knew this was coming as soon as I saw the community poll lol

I have one and definitely plan on making one.
Great stuff, Chris. Glad that you took up the suggestion! :)
Been doing this for a long time. I grab these at the swapmeet for a few bucks. I use them for car amplifiers in the house also.
Wow we both have nearly all the same tools 🤣... Love the pistol strips
