The voltage detector solution is flawed. Some J10s are fitted with intelligent battery management system, which will cut the altenator periodically, which means your light may go on and off on a whim. An alternator fault will also render the lights inoperable. Also, how does this look legalwise? The headlight lacks the running light homologation (RL00), so it's a great way to have your registration revoked. How does this look like wherever you are situated?
I agree, voltage solution was inconsistent and also eventually caused delay in one of them coming on for some reason, I replaced this with a standard relay to come on with ignition, Have not had any trouble with the legality of it. As it’s not a projected light and does not caused visibility issues for other drivers it seems to be ok, Generally here you can have any additional lighting at the front as long as it is not a color that could be mistaken for emergency services. White at front and red at back is generally ok,
Yeah this does not help, definitely a design flaw. Even if putting them on top of the headlight as per the instructions the leds are just pointing into the bonnet I do have a plan for some better ones so watch this space!
Keen to see this. Want to do the same to my J10. Thought I might have to look for and buy a whole new light cluster. Daytime run lights for front. LED type step lights for indicators ( like the Audi's look!)
Hi great video do you have a link on where I could get these or similar leds cheers

@@DIY-Dalton Which fuse did you tap into to get the ignition power?
The reason they're not bright is the LEDs are pointing in to the gap between the headlight and the body panels. They should be facing forward.
