LED Day running lights

here's the link to where I bought them.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-S6-R8-LED...QQcmdZViewItem

I wired them up to this:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...tegoryId_70555

so I didn't have to tap into the cars electrics at all. It says they will only run when the side lights are on, you can get round this by wiring the second positive of the remote unit to the pos on the battery.

--------------------

GUIDE:
In the remote pack you'll get two positives (one for side lights and one for battery) If you don't want them wired to the side lights take both the positives to the battery. There's also a negative which also goes to the battery.

You'll also get a yellow cable which splits into 2 bullet connectors at the end, this is the positve for each of the led strips, wire the positives from the LED strips (test for the positive first lol) to the yellow cable. You'll now be left with two negative wires, one off each of the LED strips, either wire these back to the battery, or earth them on the car's metal work (only works on unpainted pannels.

It's only a rough guide but may help
If you need anymore explanation or anything, give me a shout.

Oops, fixed

Picture of them in the day and night? And guessing they're just universal?

Cheers

how did you get the leds in the light?

venomco · 10-04-2008

I didn't mate, I fitted them just under it, between the bumper and the light housing.

These lights are 100% legal aren't they?

venomco · 04-06-2008

Yes and no, the lights are legal aslong as they come on with the side lights, I have mine wired differently but I always have my main lights on so never drive with just the LED's

Lee.Johnston · 04-06-2008

Wicked. Cheers for the reply.. what size did you buy out of curosity?

Singh! · 06-06-2008

I know ive got a mk2b but ive got the same lights and they were pretty easy to fit, and they work fine if they are wired up to the sidelights, have a look at my pics

venomco · 07-06-2008

Its because the computer on the GP measures how many ohms are going to the light and how many are coming back - by using LEDs the system thinks there is a fault with the lights and brings up a dash light.

fireman sam · 29-06-2008

hi,i was wondering if these leds fitted under headlights would alter the settings for moving lights up&down

venomco · 30-06-2008

Hi Sam,

Don't worry about the tilt, the lights aren't moved up enough to make a huge difference - as there is already a small gap the LED's fit into.

I've now moved the lights to the gap between the bonnet and the bumper though.

What size are the running lights? Also did it bring up any warning light if they are wired to the side lights?
