- I purchased a set of front sequential LED with halo turn signals from ebay. Here is my installation and review.
The eBay listing image on the car is absolutely a photoshop like a lot of car products. The halo is cut off by the bumper itself. Installation was very simple. They bolted right in without any problems. I cover the wiring options in my video.
Awesome video brother. Love the detail you go into all well covering the subject. Usually you have to listen to someone talk about their entire life before they get to the point. 🤘 keep it up
Lol, thanks. I try to keep my videos on point and jump right into it, even though they still come out a bit long.
I found this out the hard way with my 97, Installed some Halo LED Head Lights and I wanted the Halo to flash with the turn signals. Lucky for me I had access to AllData at the time and could look up the wiring diagram and schematic. But Man I was confused for about an hour until gave up and went to work and printed out all the info I needed
Did you have to do anything special with the plug that goes into the factory socket? I bought a set of these and for some reason I cannot seem to get the DRL’s or Turn signals to light up even thought the factory ones did.
Everything I did is explained in detail in the video.
Pretty cool of your buddy to sent those to you. I really like them but trying to keep mine all stock.
Just bought a set! Always nice to start the year off right! Thank you for this 😎.
Thank you on the tip for the flasher. Made it so easy and I really appreciate the tip.
Glad it worked out for you. It's a nice slow flasher that works great for sequential tail lights too
Awesome video, where did you find those fog lights? I have a 99 TA I'm wanting to do the same thing. 🇺🇲🏁
I have another video on the fog lights with links
Awesome. Getting these for my Trans
Those are cool. Seen them on ebay and they sold out fast. Will have to get a set when back in stock.
Yeah, I wish I bought 2 sets when they were in stock. Guess I'll have to keep checking for them to come back.
noticed you have different wheels from your 2019 summary vid. really think these look good on the NBM body. what wheels are these ?
These are actually my winter wheels in this video. They were just a generic no name BMW wheel.
I recently installed these with new led flashers. Problem is right side halo turns off and left stays yellow lines when I turn blinker on with headlights on. I have halo fogs wired into drls and they work fine. Could I take white wire and put it with halo/drl wires to fix issue? Thx for any help
Jason, I have an issue with my headlights. I was wondering if you can help. It regards the white rubber stops for the headlights. I tried buying an after market stopper but for some reason the shaft on the headlight arm keeps taking it apart, pushes it out, or ends up bypassing the rubber stop getting the shaft stuck on top of the rubber stop. Do you have any suggestions as to making sure it does not happen. It’s on my drivers side my passengers side works great. Thanks in advance.
My guess is the nylon gears are stripped out and it's overshooting the mark. I just had that happen on one of mine where the arm went past the stopper and got jammed up. I replaced it with a brass gear kit and now it works perfectly. When I took it apart, 1 gear tooth was completely gone. It must've been free spinning, then on the next cycle it started out of position and went too far .
Looks awesome thanks for not putting black rims on it.
Just bought a set 👍, thanks for the link.
Any reason why mine don't light up at all, in any mode? I tried each light module in the driver and passenger sides, tried flipping the connector 180 degrees, tried with the headlights on and off... all with no sign of life. Could they be dead?
Did you plug the resistor into the light? it'll be an open circuit if it's not plugged in.
@@1999TransAmWS6 Ah, I forgot to mention that, yes I had the resistors connected. Still nothing.
Shouldve tried getting pictures of how you wired them. Currently stuck with a flashing halo light for turn signals and no amber sequential lights
Did you end up finding out the problem?
@@yes.4044nope ordered a new drl module wired everything and nothing i got a flashing halo light no sequential light
Jason, I got these turn signals and when I looked on here, of course I found you. A few questions I have , the turn signals blink very slow, like 10 seconds apart, sometimes longer for the passenger side. Also noticed the resister heats up quite a bit, is that normal. Where exactly is the best place to hook up the white wires?
Not sure about this but try replacing your turn signal relay or resistor under the dash with a led one it sounds like the same problem I had and a led resistor or relay solved it not sure what the name of the part is
that great, just i need more clarification about the white wire , where i connect it ?
I actually ordered these off of amazon, I may have miswired or just not familiar with the operation but on testing, the resistors seemed way too hot, is this normal operation?
Yeah they do get pretty hot. I believe they are 50watt resistors so they can burn your hand and still operate. To help dissipate the heat, you can always bolt them to part of the framing in that little cubby. I have mine cable tied sort of loose so they are hanging and not touching any wires.
Hello Jason! Where did you buy the leds that are in the video at minute 3:27?
I think they were off Amazon.
Really good video!
My dad bought these lights and is trying to hook up the white wire to the power source and is having trouble finding where a good power source is ? Any help would be awesome . Pick etc . Thanks!
Did you ever figure it out?
When u disable the daytime running lights does it disable the side marker lights as well running in the day time ??
No it doesn't
Couldn’t you connect the white wire for the halo to the side marker light then? So it doesn’t flash? Or will that not work?
It did for mine
What head lights are you running?
To see a trans am 4th gen in snowy wet weather is the equivalent of seeing them informercials of for 25 cents a day you can feed this child in Africa
I've been looking everywhere and can't find really any info on the hood decal. I'm thinking 45×45 will fit my 2000 ram air hood but they are specified for different year models. Would you mind telling me where you got yours and the dimensions? Thank you. BTW I emailed your for a price sheet on the knight rider lights
Mines just the standard 76 bird from Phenox grafixs
Nice clean install Jason. Looks good, you can tell the difference of the white from the halo. Other than that looks good.
Yeah, that part is a bummer. All the lights on the front match except for the new turn signal halos. I may disable that part or have them turn on with my headlights.
@@1999TransAmWS6 yeah should be OK then. 👌🏽
Where do I wire up the white wire if I want the halo running all the time like you explained it I want them just how you had them in the preview of the video at the beginning but I don't want to disable the module is there a different way I ordered the same ones for my red ws6
You have to disable the module to run it like I do. There's no way around that. The lights will be constant amber during the daytime without disabling it.
After I disable the daytime running module it should operate just like your correct
@@performancemodsbuilds8200 if it's wired the way I describe it in the video it will. Halos will be on all the time and switch to the amber sequential when the turn signal is activated.
Badass
Could the white wires just be wired directly to module using the blue and dark blue wires for the right and left side?
The white halos will then flash with the turn signals.
@@1999TransAmWS6 thanks for the info I think I will wire to the radio power the way you did
Hi I am Dan I bought the same lights but I can't get the yellow lights power on I don't know if there is a bad lights but I try 2 different ones and both don't work any idea why don't work
I doubt they are bad. How are you wiring them in? I have detailed instructions in my video.
Well in the information from the lights said plug and play so I just connected the plug to the car socket but all the turn is the white light and doesn't matter what I do I can't make the yellow power up I also try to connect red and black wires and still does the same thing only the white light turn on
@@DanielAvalos-v6e they're not plug and play. My video explains it all.
@1999TransAmWS6 so when I watch you video I see like you just connect red wire and black wire and the yellow light turn on but when I do the same thing and only white light turn on
Having the same problem. White light stays on and no flash. And when I hit my turn signal. No change just solid white light
I bought these lights and wanted just the yellow horizontal lines as the running lights but when I plug them into the connector the blinker doesn’t work. Does the white wire have to be connected?
Lol, not sure if I was sold a trash set or what, because the other one doesn’t even turn on.
The white wire is only for the halo. Did you plug the resistor in? You also may need an electronic flasher for the turn signal to work.
@@1999TransAmWS6 yes resistor was plugged in, I think one of them was a faulty light because it did not turn on at all. I’m going to have to figure something out
@@1999TransAmWS6 thank you!
@@tylerbartolomei1835 the fog light that isn’t working, check the two wires that plug into the socket. I had to bent one a little and then it worked.
Did you had to put on LED Flashers for those?
I don't know if they are required but I would say probably yes. I already had led flashers for my taillights so I don't know if these will work without them.
Yea I figured. I only want the amber DRL but they wouldn’t blink. So I’ll have to buy one either way as I do have LEDS in the rear. Thanks though btw
Hey Jason cool video. Where can I find the headlights that shows in the video
They are my own custom design using hella projectors.
Where did you get the headlights ?
They're hella projectors off Amazon. I added the halo and the rope light.
What halos did you use around the head lights thanks
Just cheap Amazon 70mm switchback halos
@@1999TransAmWS6 thanks so much
Hate to ask again, but do you remember the brand maybe? I bought 70mm to small and 80mm was hanging off the edge of the light.
Nice my guy 👍🏾
Link for same headlights please
What is the point of the resistor they work fine without it
They might work fine for a while but will result in higher current to the LEDs and greatly shorten the life of them. Whomever designed it out them there for a reason. It's a shame they couldn't put them inside the housings
Ebay has a few right now, going fast.
Bought a set for my Firebird same kind of style socket is connected black wire is connected to the resistor the white wire is connected to the blue wire on the stock harness / When I have the headlights off turn signal work but when headlights are on light act up the turn signal stop working Help please
You can't connect the wire wire to the cars blue wire. The halos will not work properly unless you disable the daytime running lights.
@@1999TransAmWS6 where should I have the white wire connected to
@@1999TransAmWS6 i disable my daytime running light and turn signal still don’t work when headlights are on I probably need to buy a led resistor
@@Ish-ii8du that's because the white wire is hooked up to the blue wire of the car. Once you remove that, the turn signals will work. I have my white wire hooked up to ignition power behind the radio.
@@1999TransAmWS6 I appreciate your help you been helpful I’ll disconnect that white wire off the blue and connect it to the brown wire right ? Or does it have to be to the ignition power
How’d you do the headlights
Dual Hella projectors with 70mm switchback halos on the high beams. I had to fabricate some mounting brackets for the rope light.
Do you have a link to these signals? Or if not, a name to search for?
They are sold out right now. I'll post the link when they are back in stock.

@@1999TransAmWS6 The guy says he should have more in about 15 days... They're probably coming from China.
@@TheSilverdude Cool, thanks. I have it on my watch list so I should get a message when they are back in stock.
In stock, just placed my order!
Where are the headlights from?
They're hella projectors with a halo and rope light. I had to fabricate a bracket for the rope light part.
@@1999TransAmWS6 im looking to do something similar like your head lights…how much fabrication is needed to get it all done ?
I wish I could install them, but in my country they are not allowed 😞
What country? Are all light modifications illegal?
@@superrookie1554 Switzerland. Yes, they are.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but screw you on buying 2! God I wish I just had one. ffs.
WHERES THE LINKKKKK
I bought my one off eBay. They're all over eBay and Amazon. Just search for Trans Am turn signal lights
Where did you mount your resistor?
I just cable ties it to the wire harness
