    Nice! I'm not a fan of sequential turn signals, big props on using non-sequential

    About to do this with my 08 tl but with the sequential 12" strip. Great video! The wiring should still be the same no matter the led strips, correct? Its that the sequential will match my sequential mirror setup better imo. Do you route the drl wire to the factory drl wire?

    • @c-dubs9968
      @c-dubs9968  2 года назад

      Thank you for the kind words! It should look amazing I thought about seq. but I decided against it. I agree it would look great with the mirrors. I believe the wiring should be the same, you have power ground and blinker.
      My 04 doesn’t have the center DRL but that shouldn’t change for you. The wiring was spliced through the blinker wires. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

      @@c-dubs9968 I'll try a few different options before i wire it all together for good. Im gonna wire the halos so they're always on with the acc fuse and pull the fuse out for the drl's. That way the 4 halos will basically be the new drl's. Id like the white part of the strip to always be on with the halos. When does your white strip turn on? Turn of the key or when you turn on your headlights? Either way I'll do some tinkering and figure it out, just curious how you have yours set up to turn on

    quick question so I see you removed the turn signal bulb to route the wire what then fills in the hole? seems the opening will be quite big

    • @c-dubs9968
      @c-dubs9968  2 года назад

      I’m sorry, I actually thought of this after the video. So what I did is I used the old bulb holder I cut a notch in it and routed the wire through the notch and was still able seal it pretty well.

    • @c-dubs9968
      @c-dubs9968  Месяц назад

      So, on my first one I used silicone. The problem with that is that it off-gasses, so there’s a weird haze inside that headlight. On my second go around I used 3m window sealant in the video. No moisture problems because I didn’t cause any openings. Just make sure you give enough time for the window sealant to dry.
