Hi, I just found that heating a little bit the plastic covers of the mirrors with a heatgun helps a lot to remove them without breaking any clip.
Thank you so much don’t stop doing videos on the q50.
I have about 400-450 Q50 specific videos on the channel already and don’t plan on stopping!
I spliced the wires and used tape. Never even thought about using the connectors. Then I used t-taps to connect to the wires for the plugs
That’ll work
when you connected the DRL’s from the turn signal lights to come on when the headlights are on, is that only when the headlights ( low beams) are on or when the daytime running lights from the headlights are on?
Thanks for the video bro!! Just install mine!!
You can handle it!!
best video yet every other video i’ve seen people crack the tabs on their oem mirror caps
They can be fragile. Just have to think about which way they clip in and try to help them move in the correct direction.
i got them off without breaking the tabs thanks to this video
THOSE ARE AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks!
Do the black and green wires not go to anything?
Hey bro I bought some sequential locally and they have an extra red and black wire I’m having trouble getting the daytime running lights turning on
can i use t taps on these
Knocking mine off tomm, thank you for this🙌🏾
Good deal! Take your time!
Sick bro look nice 🔥🔥🔥 I need some for mines ASAP! Very helpful bro👍🏼🙏🏻💪🏼
Thanks for watching man!
you see the drl stay on, I didn’t want them to stay on so there’s a way where they only turn on when you open the door more of like a welcome light pretty sure you tap it into the door light still thing that way it turns off when the car turns on, neat feature love it
Yeah you can really tap in wherever you want. I mean you could technically tap into the brake lights and have them come in when you press the brakes.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I didn't get the white wire, and in case that I just want to stay on like a welcome light, I shouldn't use the blue wire, or use the blue wire in another connector that lights up with the welcome lights? Thanks, great video! by the way.
Marcelo Silva Your colors might be totally different than mine, so think about them in terms of function rather than color.
If you want the welcome light to stay on with the DRLs, you can connect that wire together with the DRL wire and tap then both into the headlights. Then drl and welcome light would be on anytime your head lights are on.
Have you had issues with the remote not locking the front doors since this install? I realized shortly after I did mine that the remote doesn’t lock front doors now.
No issues with the lock
First like!!! Lol. Love those mirror caps and saving up on the the steering wheel for the g37s 🤙🏽
Oh! Those lights are killer as well.
Thanks!!
You'll love the feel of that wheel too
We're about to do a group buy with at least 10 other Infiniti owners, the manufacturer said we would save 20% due to the group buy. Let me know if you want to go in on the group buy with us.
Definitely interested.
So basically remove the mirror first then do everything else if you want the daylight running led
I ordered mine from Amazon too , and you were right they had 2 left a the time..they come in Monday
Mine are a bit different. I got mine from Ebay, and I didn't get that useless wire.
Thanks for ur video it helped out alot..put them in this morning..there GREAT
I plugged everything how you showed it in the video and at the end I tried plugging in the pins into the factory wires but the drls didn’t turn on any advice?
Check to make sure the wires you pinned to see the correct ones
Thanks for the video bro. Will be installing mine tomorrow Saturday June 12th 2021
How’d it go?
I purchased these & really excited on installing them, any tips
@@russelwestbrook2922 it went really well bro. Thanks again
I installed just the red and black wire for just the turn signal to work. And when i test it out. The light bar does not go all the way through. As in in only blinks up to 4th light bar and then it stops, Any idea why its not functioning right? For 2019 q50 i also bought the front light sequentials and it also does the same thing. So im wondering do i have to install the drl wires as well for it to work properly?
If installed properly, I am not sure why it wouldn't blink all the way through. Did you contact the seller?
Can you install the after market Mirrors and still keep the stock turn signals? Or do you need aftermarket turn signals as well?
You can keep factory signals!
Ordered the same mirror caps a few days ago. Looks good bro!
You’ll be happy!
How can I order these mirror caps? Link please and thank you.
Chris Clark have to go to @jaliscos_carbonfiber on IG
How do you know which wires to tap into? Which wires did you tap into? Does the drls come in with the headlights or are they on with the regular drls that comes on the car?
I tested the wires with a test light. I showed in the video which wires to tap. Drls come on with headlights. I talk about all of this in the video
So I’m planning on installing these tomorrow but I only want the turn signal sequential and don’t care about the puddle light or DTRL… those cables are attached already to the lights… what would you recommend me to do? I plan on trading my Q50 in about a year for a q60 so I’ll end up taking these lights off and installing them on the Q60… what do you recommend me to do with the extra wires?
Just leave them or tape them up so they don't vibrate off anything.
Hey I just installed them but I getting hyper flash ima buy the resistors but I don’t know what cable I need to connect them too. Do I need to connect the resistors to the red and black cable that goes for the turn signal ?
The resistors go in between the wires you have connected now.
Question does the door panel have to be connected for the drl’s to turn on
No-you mean for testing purposes?
hey man love your videos and content, getting the SCS exhaust soon. Just curious, would u say the jaliscos are worth the price? debating getting the amazon ones
They are good quality and have pretty good service so there is value in that.
Question? @Speed Culture Studios what is that white wire? the puddle lamp?? where does it connect?
It connects to a wire inside the door
Just made my order for the mirror caps! Quick response, although they’re not in stock yet. Do you have the link for the turn signals?
Link in video now! Thanks for watching!
Quick question, this might sound dumb but do you have to do the whole wiring process on the other side also? Or can you just plug it in like how you showed at the start and the drls will work by themselves because it’s connected to the Daytime running lights already.
Each mirror has to be wired to power.
Hey do you know where I could get that extension cable ? Or what can I do if I don’t have the extension cable ?
You can just make one. Go to an auto parts store and get some wire of the same gauge
Nice bro 👌 buying those for sure
You’ll like them!
Does anyone know where to put the white wire into so it comes on when you have hit the unlock button only ? Thanks
I believe brown white behind panel of the door.
Hey quick question my DRL are staying on when I lock the car got any idea what could be the issue
Do you have your lights on? I know dumb question, but worth a look. Make sure they're off or in auto. Only thing I can think of really.
I have these same lights had them installed by a autobody shop the turn signals work but they aren’t on all the time when it’s dark how can I change that
They can be wired into the daytime running lights to be on all the time.
Installed my mirror caps today, the bottom clips broke off on both my old mirror caps but I didn’t need them Anyway. But I kinda had a hard time prying them open and scratched up the actually mirror housing, a little bummed out but it’s not the worst
It’s not super easy
I broke one clip of my old cap. But I couldn’t install them didn’t have the patience 😂 so installed the old ones back on
I have the same turn signals but I lost the extended wire for the DRL's is there any other wire or something else I can use?
You can just use some additional wire if the same gauge
Look beautiful, sadly i was working when you had your live hope I didn’t miss any giveaway opportunities
You did sorry! But there will be more! Very successful Live, so we are going to make it a regular thing!
Thanks for this video! In the sunlight how closely do you feel the mirror color matches the color of the car? I assume they are just a generic gloss black from the manufacturer?
That's correct--just generic black. They match quite well because the car is just obsidian black--not the malbec with the speckles--and they are separated enough from the car itself so the eye doesn't get a real side by side comparison to notice a difference.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks I appreciate it!
The black wire that u connected to the grey wire inside door(ground). Cant u just ground it to a bolt?
Yes
I just bought these and needed an install video
Nice!
Would this be the same with the RGB sequentials? Or would there be any different steps.
Same
Whats the wheel set-up?
😊
Are there any out there that have auto dim feature? I cant seem to find any for G37 or Q50
I'm not familiar with an auto dim feature.
Hey does anyone know about the legality of having these DRL's on all the time at night? Especially in the streets of CA? Could they be considered side markers?
It's a good question considering how strict some of California's rules are.
where did you get the sequential from and are those clear or smoked ?
Check the description for link to the sequentials. These are clear
Where did you get the mirro lights from ?
Linked in the description man! Amazon
I wired mine like this but the wires inside the mirror cap for the turn signal were white & black. The red & black wires power the puddle lamps but they’re the same length as the ones for the turn signal if that make sense.. so my question is does yours have puddles lamps & where would those go into?
I did not wire the puddle lamps.
Did you end up using the white and black wire for the turn signal or how did you go about this?
Need ur help, I got mr driver side connected I did it for it to be on all the time. 16q50s I have black blue and white wires, for some reason i don’t have power at my purple wire the same wire you tapped into for power I found power at the connector for the side mirror but not getting drl only getting turn signal
Do you have your headlights turned on?
Headlights on, checked all the wires at the connector that you tapped in got no power
Did u get ur turn signal sequentially from jrlights on ig ?
No. Linked in the description. Amazon
couldn’t you tap the dlr lights into the red and black stripe wire that you connected the turn signal light into? rather than taking the door card off and running it into the cab?
wait nvm, that would only turn on when the turn signal is activated lol
Lol that’s correct
Hey man, this is off topic of this vid but i've seen most of yours over the years, and a big fan. In regards to the front bumper drl and turn signals... I installed mine, but when I connect to power the signals hyperflash (this being outside the window movement) and i did not get from JR lights, but from SmartAuto. I've tried tapping various wires (currently same as yours to the front emblem, which connects to always on module, pink wire for headlights. And load resistors - just a pain. I am trying to take an easier way out and replace the OEM turn signal relay with a LED signal relay. My problem is, there is no video I can find or resource that easily identifies where our 3.7 signal relay is located. I contacted the vendor and they ensured me it's under the steering column, which I cannot find. I'm trying to locate so I can unplug and identify the correct pin allocation for the led relay. Do you know where this is? Much frustration would be relieved if you could help me out - much appreciated!
You’ll just need resistors. Tap into the same wires that you are current getting with the hyper flash but put the resistor between inline between the light and the power supply wire. Maybe shoot jr lights and see if he can get you a couple of them. He usually includes them with the signals so I’m guessing he has some on hand
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thanks, I have the resistors and have tried tapping it into the power line and ground. Maybe I need to do actually use both. If this continues to not work, do you know where I can locate the flasher relay?
@@mikewilmer6301 no I don’t. You could reach out to jr lights on iG. He may have something
@@SpeedCultureStudios alright thanks - appreciate the responses!
Why u didn't use the white wire? What function will it do?
I think I mentioned it in the video. It’s for the puddle wires which I did not want
would using posi taps be better ?
I don’t know about better but you can use whatever is going to give you a good connection
Does the 2015 q50 come with blind spot monitoring? If not is there a way to install them?
Mine did not-I can’t say for certain whether or not other trim levels did. For the right amount of money anything can be done, but there are sensors and wiring involved, so I would imagine it’s quite complex to set that up in a vehicle that was not originally equipped
I have the 2015 premium package and it comes with blind spot intervention and blind spot warning. I think it uses the cameras on the mirrors.
I’m seeing that the q50 and the q70 are slights different. Question I have is did you have to modify the light in any way for fitment issues?
There are differences between the 50 and 70. No modification necessary.
@@SpeedCultureStudios I just tried to install them on my car and the fitment was horrible. I had to grind down the back of the light and it still did not fit right. Trying to get my money back as we speak.
@@SpeedCultureStudios by the way these are not the lights off Amazon. Just to be clear these are off eBay which I’m sure they are all the same. Lol
@@genarorenteria3627 what do you mean “these.” Are you saying you have some from eBay? Mine were from amazon, but yes they probably come from the same place.
@@SpeedCultureStudios yea the ones I have are off eBay. They look exactly the same as yours. Same color wire and all. But fitment was not good.
Installed mine recently and trying to figure out the best method to get rid of hyper flash for a 2019 q50 any suggestions?
Yes there is a little resistor that can be placed inline between the light and the power source and that will eliminate the the hyper flash. Check in with @jr_lights on IG. He may have some to sell individually.
@@SpeedCultureStudios thanks so much I will check him out.
Thanks for the video. I might have missed it but do the puddle lights work with the way you wired it?
No, I did not connect the white white which is the puddle lights. The car already has a puddle light under the handle and the Infiniti logos under the doors so another light wasn’t necessary to me.
You can tie it in with the DRLs if you want them on all the time, you can tap them into the same wire that powers the puddle lights for the handle.
@@SpeedCultureStudios Awesome. Do you know if that wire is going to be in that same harness you tapped in to? Or am I going to have to look for another power source?
GTiRSmiley my feeling is that it has to be in there, but most I’ve seen tap into a different location behind that plate. I’d have to find a diagram or just get the test light out and check for power only when the unlock button is hit or something.
Speed Culture Studios so could I leave the blue and white wire tapped into how you have it and have the white wire (the puddle light) to the brown wire behind the metal plate on the door?
Qfifty 2014 yes-I cant remember the color of the wire you need to tap into behind the plate, but yes, that should get you the puddle light that comes on when you approach/unlock the car
Why did mine come with an extra green and black cable?
There are wires to connect to the turn signals then wires to connect to the puddle lights
couldn’t you have put the wires into one side of the harness then just strip the other side? thank you for the video though! installing along the video 🤟
I’m not sure I follow what you’re asking, but yeah I mean you can do anything that works for you as long as you make good connections. This is certainly not the only way.
What is the white wire for?
Puddle lights. Didn’t want them
🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope asf
Thanks for checking it out!
Where do you get the the purple and orange tools you used to get the cap off in the beginning of the video?
Amazon. I think they are linked in the description
@@SpeedCultureStudios as some who is just beginning DIY anything lol ... what do you recommend is a good ratchet set or other tools to start with in the garage ?
@@bstr8upballa it really depends on your budget, but my parents got me a 150pc ratchet and wrench set for Christmas my first year living on my own and I’ve had that set with me for over 15 years now. It’s a great set to get you started and inexpensive.
Check out my amazon store-I have a tool/garage section that lists some good stuff!!
@@SpeedCultureStudios Im in the harbor Freight price range haha!! I’d rather have what I need then try a project and have to keep running out for tools ...
@@bstr8upballa There is plenty of stuff at harbor freight to get you started! If you’re working on a Q50, make sure you have a solid metric set
So if I just want the sequential lights and the carbon fiber mirror caps I don’t have to do the extra crap right ?
Extra crap?
@@SpeedCultureStudios 😂 yeah like , I’m not good with wiring so I meant like the stuff on the inside of the door
@@Gofast8954 there was no extra crap 😂 It’s all part of installing the sequentials. Just no puddle light
What was the white wire for ? Since you didn’t connect it and just taped it up ?
Are your puddle light working as well?
White wire is for the puddle light. I did not want them on.
@@SpeedCultureStudios oh cool, that’s what I was thinking, thanks for the quick reply 👍🏼. Nice vid
how long did it take to do it all bro?
Just a couple hours man
What springs do you run? The ride height is perfect
Thanks! I actually have bc Coilovers but Tein s tech lowering springs gave me about this exact height
@@SpeedCultureStudios sweet! Thanks bro, hope all is well!
definitely gonna be one of my next buys!
Worth it! Thanks for joining this morning!
@@SpeedCultureStudios anytime brother! I'll always support!!
Save yourself some time and don't purchase through Jalisco.
Robert Green lol who should i buy from? The thief VQcarboncustoms? Im good sir, jaliscos the best around
VHR Nick You got that right buddy!
Fire 🔥
Thanks!
How’s the fitment on the mirror caps? Been thinking about ordering the carbon fiber m style caps from him
They fit great!
It seems they changed alil since this video. I was watching yours and following along but my wires for the turn signals only are white and black instead of red and black. Ordered from Jalisco as well. I hooked those in and nothing turned on. Contacted him seeing what’s up. Hooking up the rest for the daytime running tmr. The wire colors are different now though.
I having the same issue as you, I just contacted them but have they told you anything? I could use the help.
@@bernyhilario1292 my car is at my buddies and he’s gonna pick me up in a bit. Jalisco doesn’t answer Instagram dm so I gotta email him the pictures
@@MikeyBLive if you get them to work somehow can you let me know so I can do the same thanks
@@bernyhilario1292 I tried and it did not work. I am in contact with Jalisco waiting for a reply. Don’t waste your time though cause I tried hooking up the day time wiring as well and got nothing.
Mine have the same issue
Would those mirrors work on a 2011 G37S ?
No
@@SpeedCultureStudios Thx Bro
Has anyone had any issues with these turn signals? Or the way it’s wired? I installed them identical to how he did it in the video and I noticed my battery dies after sitting for a week. Cars only 3 years old with original battery still in the car. Got the battery tested and was at 54% health and starter and alternator is fine too.
You have a draw somewhere
@@SpeedCultureStudios how can that be corrected though? I did it the same way you did
Are you going to do the rear bumper reflector next 😏?
I’ve wanted to for awhile, but reviews of them are horrible with bad fitment issues. I thought about getting them anyway to see if I can come up with a solution. Stay tuned
Speed Culture Studios I just got one off eBay and going to test my luck! Haha.
Random question I followed the steps but when I put them in my sequential stop working but drl worked....any ideas why ?
Connection for the sequentials is loose.
Speed Culture Studios I thought that I check that but it was fine one thing tho my battery is low where it won’t start car allows me to put it in accessory mode
Qfifty 2014 Sounds like it’s time for a new battery. Just had to replace mine a couple months ago too
Speed Culture Studios so you think it’s cuz of battery than? And thanks for the replies man
Qfifty 2014 I can’t say for certain but sounds like battery
I added the turn signals about 4 months ago. There is a okay DIY video for the turn siangels but its crap when you wanna hook up the puddle light. I'm still trying to figure it out lol. My next step is the bumper turn signal to make the DRL's and sequential like the ones on my mirror.
My video got so long I was going to have a section on where to connect the puddle light.
You should. I'm getting tired of trying to figure it out. It's slowly getting on my nerves. Makes it like like a unfinished project or half assed project.
Speed Culture Studios definitely second his comment, installin mine tomorrow an i wanna hook up the puddle light also
B Rand you can tie the puddle light wire to the drl wire and it will always be on.
Speed Culture Studios gotcha so the puddle light an the white led strip on the signal will be on all the time right?
What’s that red thing you use to connect them? Are they heat shrink?
No they are just simple wire connectors. Crimp on style
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ohhh ok. Do you know if I can use heat shrink to connect those. That’s all I got
^ 🥺
@@Awsometiger1011 heat shrink could be used over the connectors dont just simply use heat shrrink
@@angelsawg10 what do u mean
Nice video but I need to know how to put the white light on.
You can connect it with the DRL wire and it’ll be on all the time or you can take the panel off inside the door and tap into the proper wire
Speed Culture Studios thank you👍🏻
fishing these wires through has not been easy lol
Yeah it’s not super easy
Did they turn yellow overtime?
The sequential
Have not turned yellow yet.
So that white wire was your puddle light? If it is where do I connect that wire to have it with my DRL?
If you want it all the time, you can just connect it to the wire with the drl wire
@@SpeedCultureStudios Ok what if ai just want it as a welcome light. Do you know where I connect that?
@@Awsometiger1011 you have to remove the small plate on the inner portion of the door to access the wire that operates the small lights under the door handles. I can't remember what the color of the wire is off the top of my head.
@@SpeedCultureStudios ohhh ok thank you!! So does the puddle light just lighten up the floor ? What does it do really
@@Awsometiger1011 yes shines directly down. I feel like it is a bit redundant because the door handle already has a flood light.
How are the sequentials holdin up?
They did just fine!
@@SpeedCultureStudios i just bought a pair, been watching since the beginning of your build.
Finally got my q50 this year excited to get the build started! Getting your exhaust soon hopefully
@@ericmoreno1084 awesome man. You’ll enjoy it!!
@@SpeedCultureStudioshey man can i dm you with some questions?
hey man i installed my sequintials and they were working just fine for 15 min then stopped working n suddenly my window won’t roll automatically up it will roll in segments , going crazy right now hoping for a fast reply 😂
Same thing just happened to me😭 lmk if you figured it out
@@qfiddy6122same here lmao
ty for this! almost paid a man to do this lmaoooo
Glad it was helpful!
bro this is so confusing, ordered mine off southbay auto works and theres wire with like actual connectors and all different colors from yours
Hopefully they gave you a chart for what each color means.
they didn’t lol, i have a black and white wire the has a yellow hazard sticker on it saying don’t connect to power supply those are my turn signals ig, and then i have a separate red and black then a separate brown blue and black
I have the exact same ones from Southbay Autoworkz and have no clue how to wire it. Did you end up figuring out how?
How do you get puddle light
I have the same wires as you did the exactly same thing left white wire out an I have no puddle
I did not wire in the puddle lights. I didn't want them. I don't recall which wire in the harness is for the puddle lights, but you can trace it and connect it if you'd like it.
@@SpeedCultureStudios oh lol 😂
Wonder how many fires that have been started due to this video! Lol
0 and I’m not sure why any fires would be started.
The smoked ones woulda looked better on the all black car. Still dope tho.
I had contemplated it, but that’s be too much black. I like the white contrast in the leds
Yeah it’s nice. But super bright at night.
sean jackson haven’t driven yet with them at night. I’ll have to check it out and see. I can always change them!
Ok cool
Can't go wrong with a bmw type look lol.
Lol right. Especially m style!
can you please link to your rims, i want to buy the same ones
I don’t have a link to them specifically because they are basically made to order if they don’t have a set on hand but you can reach out to Motorsports LA and let them know I sent you!
its little details such as this i swear!
First son...
Always! 👍
Can they be connected to the fog lights instead of the headlights?
I’m not sure what you mean, but you can connect them to whatever power source you can reach.
@@SpeedCultureStudios perfect 👌
When you connect them to the headlights will they stay turned on all the time when using the car ? Or only when headlights turn on automatically during night
@@BRYAN-uh7ge Where are you accessing the headlight wire from the mirror? But if you truly are connecting to the headlights, they will turn on when the head lights turn on. If you connect to the DRL, they will be on with the DRL.
