Just did this mod to my 2017 Tundra. Was skeptical at first but WAY stoked now😂. Been asked 3 times today from other tundra owners what I did especially with the turn signals. Thanks for posting this video!
just got mine for dodge. you made it so simple and easy. other vids i’ve watched make all things so confusing, running cables all around and take unnecessary steps. i bought the strips, the clips and will get to it on my day off. thanks for the great vid man
Nothing wring with that, I like those better than today’s newer cars. If you want any updates, you can install the latest gadgets. Period. Who cares about star button engine or whatever
I was skeptical at first. But I have to agree with you when you say they look cool. The gap that is lit up between the hood and fender sort of splits off and looks very nice. A nice custom look for very little money.
I have been searching for at least a few months on a video that ACTUALLY showed it step by step on how to install and some tips on figuring things out if you were confused. 10/10 tutorial.
So I'm an old school add ons kinda guy for every vehicle I've ever owned. I didnt even think about little L.E.D. lights being used for blinkers. This is an awesome and easy upgrade for any level person wanting a way cooler looking head light! I am buying these for my 2018 Silverado pickup! Thanks for the post brah brah!
@@caseG80 way better than expected bro. Easy to tie into the wiring and really completes the look to the factory headlights. I also grabbed up leds for both under and inside the cab, plus white leds for the bed. Ihad way more involved wiring to do with under the body and under the bed rails( which i had to fab up my own metal in order to run the white lights). But its was all worth it!
I removed the headight and put it in the oven for 15 minutes then completely separate the plastic glass and put the strip lightening inside the headlight itself. But yours is not bad at all though!
I think a good double sided tape is more than enough, I have external parts on my car that have held up for years. If those can last, I'm sure the tape in a housing will be fine.
@@AdamGuiness Its just necessary, I've been running one of these on my rear window using double sided tape for nearly 3 years now. i104.photobucket.com/albums/m197/Jarekjt/kakumei0.jpg?hotlinkfix=1578799343013
Yeah but being as these are flexible plastic, they'll probably get dried out, discolored and crack from the sun's UV rays. You'll want to be able to replace them without scratching up the vehicle.
Thanks for the detailed video! First thing I did was pull up UA-cam after I bought them. eBay had them for $9.88 I went a little backyard electrician and just put the wires in the wedge and then stuck the bulb in. My 2012 Nissan Juke looks crazy mad at night.
I have the same 3 wire light wire on my truck will just follow what you did with the outside two wires. Got the parts but given cold and rainy weather and soon snow will wait for better weather to install. You rock man
Just a little tip mate those plastic connectors usually have issues down the track your better off twisting soldering and taping connections IV had problems with them before they corrode and don't make a proper connection :)
Your video really help with the wire tapping part. Thank you so much! All the other one just showcase the lights, before and after, not the full process. So you don't really need to get into the fuse box at all?
Good Video but not always comfortable wiring but might try. Don't like DRL on my '19 Rogue and this will give me the switchback look I want with a curve. Replacement head unit on Amazon was close to $600 bucks, for $20 bucks this is perfect. Thanks for your video and another upgrade to my Rogue.
Man... haters are always hatin’... 🤦🏻♂️ 😂 My 2017 Silverado 2500hd is probably gonna get this mod because it beats buying $500 aftermarket plug-n-play switchback headlight housing units from Anzo et al. Stay strong, LateModelTech! 😎👍🏽👍🏽
I hooked onto the headlight power wire and turn signal. They're not on during the day but they look good at night. If you do hook to the daytime running lights then at night they wont be on. Mine have been working perfect for 3 years now, different brand. Been thinking about doing a red/Amber strip below my tailgate. And T-taps Suck!
I have a 14 tundra, I installed the led strips the same way you did. 1 major problem, when I start the truck the lights turn on amber and both flash at the same time. When the truck isnt running everything works fine. Any ideas???
Do you guys have stock filament bulb taillights? I just installed these and I’m getting the same issue. With the truck off, the drl work when turning them on, and the hazards work perfect. But when I turn the truck on, the blockers are super hyper flash and if I don’t turn the headlights on, then both sequential blinkers are strobing. I’m hoping it’s my led brake/tail lights that are screwing this up
not bad man, better than having to tear the grill and rest of the stuff off. will check it out on my 2017 Tundra, Lights on the way should be a easy install as I am used to working on Harleys
Can you give review now, almost after 6-7 months. Did the outer part turned yellow or brown due to continuous exposure to sunlight , water , dust etc ?
Lights become dimmer, barely visible during daytime but still works, they collect dirt and dust like crazy so that doesn't help, they rarely shortcircuit, it's $18.
I have a 2014 tundra as well I connected everything the way it should however, my daytime running lights and my turn signal are both the same wire so I get amber running lights and turn signal, the only way I get the white LED light is if I turn on the headlights, but the amber turn signals still work so not sure what to do here, do I leave it like that or connect both LED wires to the one wire but I think if I do that I'll get both white and amber running lights and turn signal?? Any ideas????
Thanks for the vid. Did you have any issues with the lights or the adhesive? Thinking of doing them on my bike, but wondering how they'd hold up to carwashes etc.
I up graded the lights a while back so I don’t have them anymore. For the price , no to bad and had no trouble with the lights, the adhesive wasn’t bad- just have to make sure you prep really good.
Can you put up the link for the one’s that connect to the headlight’s themselves, please? Looking for multicoloured as well. The truck ended up looking sick af.
I know I'm a bit late to this vid...but could you show us how to attach the turn signal wires? I've never done that and can't seem to find a video on it
Actually installed these on my 2015 Chrysler 200.. They look very cool for sure. But unfortunately mine had a couple of the LEDs burn out on both sides in the middle of the strips. Happened within 2-3 months. Haven’t had access to my car in months because I joined the military, so not sure how they’ve held up since then.. Hopefully you don’t have that problem with yours!
I install this my self, (only running white lights, only connected the black and red, left out the yellow) but after a while I heard this heat up and start doing yellow lights. Hope I make any sense. I turn off the lights and turn back to white. I drive for 30 minutes and starts again. The yellow start blinking
Did this on my 2014 Tundra and for some reason when brake is released, it stays yellow. The DRL stays yellow and doesn’t turn to white until I park, turn off the car turn back on and switch the parking lights. If I were to release the break it goes back to yellow. Thought it was wrong wiring but a flipped it and the turn signals didn’t work so not sure if you see the same.
i would never do a hack job like this to my truck lol. rather just spend the money on a nice pair of smoked headlights/taillights with daytime running lights.
did you have any issue where the DRL(white) just randomly lights up while using turn signals but it doesnt when i put it on hazzard mine does that and idk what the problem is
Can I ask why u used t taps instead of tapping to the back of the connector (like you mentioned)? Seems like it might be easier? Any issues to that method that made you go with t taps? Thanks for vid!

"this is a 2014 it's kinda older"
me with my 1996 honda civic: (〃ー〃)
Car was made before i was even born

Put em in the hood grill and go all night rider 😂
Actually a really good idea! Although you'd need to modify it somewhat to do the left and right sweep.. Find something that already does that effect.

Great job you did there man. Simple but beautiful. Your 2014 truck now looks like 4 years newer. Thank you for this great idea.
How's the DRL led strip? Is it still working?
Could he not ground it with a t tap to the ground on the light? Great video and very detailed!!
A year later and this video is still helping. Thanks man! Gonna do this to my galant soon. Take care!
This was very informative, I learnt how to tap into a wire 😬
Your smile is infectious 😆 I was smiling watching this because of your excitement. Good job bruh!
Awesome!! Now I would like to see this with black headlamps....that would be sweet 🤙💯
Mine come in tomorrow can’t wait to try them on my 2010 Mazda 3 👌🏻
RD2 GAMING Update : I ended up buying a new headlight kit and it’s a beauty
SteveMV 01 which headlight kit??
Orlando Guevara it’s Spec d headlights
Thtas one ugly ass car
Willy Cumstream LOL
I removed the headight and put it in the oven for 15 minutes then completely separate the plastic glass and put the strip lightening inside the headlight itself. But yours is not bad at all though!
How has it held up?
What oven temp?
Get yourself some 3M automotive adhesion promoter, apply to the surface where you will be putting the double-sided tape, and it will never come off.
thanks for that tip!!
I think a good double sided tape is more than enough, I have external parts on my car that have held up for years. If those can last, I'm sure the tape in a housing will be fine.
Careful, adhesion promoters permanently mark your headlamp covers .. when u decide to remove it in the future
@@AdamGuiness Its just necessary, I've been running one of these on my rear window using double sided tape for nearly 3 years now.

Working normally. No problems so far.

They still work….

I have the same year truck. Crazy how this popped up on my feed. May have to do this.
Thank you for very detailed tutorial with explanation 🙂
Nice mod, will do it to my truck. Thanks for sharing.
3m also makes a shrink tape that bnds to itsef id just put that around the connections. Good vid! Putting some on my ford

It must easy, a one armed man can do it.
I have some of these, and I plan to run the red wire to my accessory fuse so that the DRL will be on anytime the key is on.

Great job !!
Too bad that was to sunny inside of your garage !!!!😁😁😁😁👍
🤷🏻♂️
thank you for this tip very helpful. First time I've heard about t taps. I can't wait to install the led lights on my Rav 4 2015.

we have the same problem,, have you resolved yours?
Works great here to until you start the truck then only orange light overrides white , white only comes on when headlights are turned on

not bad man, better than having to tear the grill and rest of the stuff off. will check it out on my 2017 Tundra, Lights on the way should be a easy install as I am used to working on Harleys
Hey friend. How did they work for you? Do they last a good time working fine?
So. You have to put your parking lights on in order for the DRL to work? I want the DRL to turn on when the car is started. How do you do that?
I'm new to this kind of stuff. Does it continue to drain or consume lot of battery?
Can I put the ground from the lights to the ground wire on the parking ground wire
Or the ground wife has to be to the battery?
Can you give review now, almost after 6-7 months. Did the outer part turned yellow or brown due to continuous exposure to sunlight , water , dust etc ?
Lights become dimmer, barely visible during daytime but still works, they collect dirt and dust like crazy so that doesn't help, they rarely shortcircuit, it's $18.
@@JohnDoe-ch6qy Thanks for providing long term user review, appreciate your reply
just change them out .. there pennys on the dollar
Using a test light is easier and cheaper if you don’t have a multimeter.
Does the DRL have to have power for the turn signals to work or do the turn signals work independently when power OS applied?
Could I technically use this kit to put inside the headlight ?
Awesome vid, I just bought these led strips. Looks great on the truck.

Show it in broad daylight
Sure it looks great in a garage. But it’s have been nice to see what it looks like in direct daylight

Sorry , I've upgraded since. ua-cam.com/video/61mFt-2Zp-M/v-deo.html
Is it auto if didnt turn on 1st light ? Likes luxury cars detect dark and auto on.. Or need manually turn on light ?

Yellow wire from the DRL controller should connected to the front turn indicator and it will work?
That looks awesome dude
Gonna doit on my ram
If I had daytime running lights which bulb what I need to tap into

Love to see how they are installed on Nissan Altima…(interesting)
So what would I do to stop my high beam from coming on as a DRL if I install these?
What was the his answer??????
I just found your Chanel. N i already Suscribe!!
Thanks!
I would have hooked the DRL up to a spot with power when the engine is running

Hey if I have a led lights on my new headlight assembly can I wire the switch back led to show amber versus white?
Now the head lights should be one even in day so u can switch on the led lights?!
Definitely gonna be the next mod for my Police Package Charger. I'm hoping to find these LED strips in all Amber.
i would never do a hack job like this to my truck lol. rather just spend the money on a nice pair of smoked headlights/taillights with daytime running lights.
Thank for sharing. Great video and explanation
How did it fare against car washes and rain?
That was sick bro I have the same yr and truck and Ima be doing that too. That looks awesomenss.
Great video! How these holding up ?
Mines coming next week I’m out them on my 2017 Nissan alitima
did you have any issue where the DRL(white) just randomly lights up while using turn signals but it doesnt when i put it on hazzard
mine does that and idk what the problem is
Curious on how these have been treating you. Can we get an update on how they are doing? any faults? Any issues?
Can I ask why u used t taps instead of tapping to the back of the connector (like you mentioned)? Seems like it might be easier? Any issues to that method that made you go with t taps? Thanks for vid!
Wow that looks awesome.cool set up. Thanks for sharing .👍
Does it mess with anything electronic wise?
Why aren't you using the matching red quick disconnect spade terminal & using red T-tap with blue spade terminal?
Do you have a video showing the lights outside during daytime?
do i need to extend my wires yellow red...
Does the strap serve as a day-time running light as well?
are they bright out of the garage
Wow!great and precise info!God bless.thank u
Nice video , keep pushing and building we look forward to more content
