Is cheap underglow worth it?? Amazon Korjo Underglow Kit Install and Review | BRZ/FRS/86

- Saw this kit on Amazon a while back and had to give it a try. With 120 patterns and multiple chase effects it should be pretty good for $70 USD ($150 CAD..??)... maybe? I definitely had some issues with the kit but the end result is really nice.
Major shoutout to my bro for letting me use the lift. Check out his sick lowrider collection and show him some love:

You kids are so lucky, back in my days underglow was made of halogen bars. Those don't exist anymore because everyone of them broke.
Hahahah thankfully the tech has gotten much better 😂😂
LMAO! I went through so many Street Glow Neon tubes...
Lol.
So you want the 90s style back? Slime glow. Tubes that feel like it’s the 90-05
I still have a set of street glow tubes that still work!
Car sounds so nice, love the transformation! 👌🏻 that Impala though 🔥
Thanks bro!
installed them a week ago on my car and they’re awesome
Does the tape keep the light on? I imagine it won’t last long especially after rain or snow
I went through 2 of these kits in 7 months. The first kit started bugging out then the strip on the right died on me and was causing the rears to bug. In korjo's defense I did rip it off like every other day at my ride height and i had to take the second one off when i put on the pandem kit
Man that’s rough hahah did you have them on the side skirts or something?
@@LivingAsleepHD just mounted them to the side
Here’s your mistake:
It’s highly likely you didn’t install wire loom around the wires to protect them. Also on top of that try putting electric ⚡️ tape on all ends where the wires meet the lights.
Hi what is the app called?! I just got them installed
W garage, didn't know your brother was into cars too thats dope! my lil bro is a tesla fanboy :(
Yea he’s into classics! Check out his IG if you wanna see his collection haha (@zakizzy)
Have you put a waterproof connectors yet between every led strip?
I used windex to clean da bottom of the bumper. And every time u clean N wipe da bumper, wipe 3 times N every time u do that use a clean micro fiber rag every time. Trust me , my car is really low to da ground N gets dirty, when I clean it wit windex 3x it got super clean and stick really really. I hope the info I gave u helps
Thanks for the tips man! I may redo the side strips and try this when spring rolls back around. Hopefully someone else sees this as well and can give it a try 👍🏽🙏🏽
Hey, LivingAsleepHD, thank you for the video. The underglow looks amazing. I am in the market for getting underglow myself and I was wondering if you could elaborate on some of the kit's contents. For instance, does it have an in-line fuse, and does it contain the disconnector you have in your driver's seat? Also, have you installed those waterproof connectors yet for the daisy chain, and if you did, how do they work? Is your kit still functioning now?
Love the build my man!
Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
hitting u up for my underglow install 🔥 hopefully the adhesive sticks lmao
Loool man it was pretty annoying 😂
probably a dum question but did you drill the clips on or did you create a hole for the screw and scew it on?
Great question actually, I drilled small pilot holes first and then put the screws in
@@LivingAsleepHD I see! Thanks!!
WHATS THE NAME OF THE APP
I’m planning on taking me car to the track. You think the lights are going to last under those kinds of use? Thanks for the video
so did u fix that janky wiring 2yrs later?
Great car and video! Have you experienced any issues with wear-and-tear on the wire that wraps around the door’s weather strip and into the cabin? I’m thinking about doing the same thing w my kit, but am concerned about wear-and-tear since the door opens and closes on it repeatedly over time
Thank you so much! It hasn't been too long so its hard to tell but so far I haven't had any issues. I think this works as a temporary solution and I will probably route the wire through the firewall grommet in the spring for better/more secure routing. Tbh at this point I think the wire is safe if you tuck it far enough into the weather strip haha.
@@LivingAsleepHD i was gonna go the firewall grommet route with my scion tc, but mine’s already so tightly packed w wires and idk if i’ll be able to find where the wire would come out into the cabin without taking apart the dash, which is above my skill level lol
@@jakesalter19 haha yea for real its a big pain honestly which is why I took this shortcut 😂 I'm not sure if its relevant, but you can check my oil pressure gauge install video and see if you have a similar grommet near the one I used for the sensor cable? It was annoying to pry back some space and feed the cable so I taped the wire to a cut up wire coat hanger to help fish it through, that might help :)
@@LivingAsleepHD i’ll check it out, thanks!
I found that korjo one on Amazon for 70ish I should snag it
Yup that’s the same one! If you like how it looks in my video I’d def recommend it but just be weary of the adhesive and be strategic when you put the clips in. Should be good 👍🏽
You can find it for 50
Qual app ?
Can this drain you’re battery if accidentally left on over night?
If the lights are left on then yes definitely it can drain the battery, LEDs are pretty low power in general and I’ve had mine on for hours without issues but never over night. The module itself requires very little power so if you’re driving the car often the alternator should keep the battery charged. I’d recommend turning it all off anyway when not in use.
Mine all the time
i am going to try to install today.
Looks sick!!
Do it with the bmw so we can do a shoot 👀
Wonder if you can run a bead of primer along the frame for it to attach to
Yea maybe! This spring I will probably add a bead of silicone adhesive just for added security.
@@LivingAsleepHD my kit comes in the mail tomorrow for my brz any tips for me?
Hopefully your adhesive sticks better than mine lol. Definitely clear your entire rear subframe when you’re routing the rear strips from the sides, don’t go in between any of the frame or suspension components and you’ll be fine. Front is easy.
@@LivingAsleepHD I'm really good with cable management so I'll be taking extra care for this
What size fuse tap did you use?
I got a new phone and I don’t have the app anymore.. anyone got the name?
How has the kit held up since the install?
Perfect, no issues so far 😄 the underglow gang is growing lol see my latest vid
ayy im live lol
First time trying this is pretty cool hah
How have they been since the install?
So far so good no issues at all, I have a switch to install soon to control the power instead of the janky wiring plus the IP rated connectors to put in eventually haha
@@LivingAsleepHD do u have a link for the switch and IP connectors please? I’ll order all at once so I know the set up will last. Thank you for your help
Yup here you go! You can pick any latching switch or 3 pin water/dustproof you prefer but this is what I got
APIELE 16mm Latching Push Button... www.amazon.ca/dp/B07RLP1TVB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
BTF-LIGHTING 3 Pin Waterproof... www.amazon.ca/dp/B01D2I9818?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
What roof spoiler is that?
I got it from Racingbees, they have a very aggressive high kick one and this subtle one, I think this one looks the best between the two options. You can also find it on eBay I bet!
R u able to control each one individually?? Like if u want the front white (steady) and the back red (steady)
Unfortunately no you cannot control each strip separately or provide custom lighting options in that way. You can set pretty much any solid color at any brightness or select from the 120ish available patterns and adjust their speed/brightness. There might be a white/red one like you mentioned but I’m not sure
@@LivingAsleepHD thats boooooottyy it can do all that cool stuff but that 😩😩😭😭
Ever got around to adding the waterproof connectors to the individual sections?
Not yet, car was parked for the winter so I may do it this spring 🙂
Where do u get the waterproof connectors from? As I’m about to buy this kit, so do I need those as an extra? Thanks
@@bigpimpin1996 Amazon bro. I ended up doing it myself and although tedious because of the amount of splicing, well worth the final outcome 💯 they’re called ip65 connectors
I got some too but haven’t installed them yet. There’s a lot of options but this is what I got:
BTF-LIGHTING 3 Pin Waterproof Electrical Connector 18AWG IP65 Male Female Connector 7.87in/20cm Extension Cable for Car,Truck,Boat,Indoor/Outdoor LED Strip Lights/String 22mm Nut Big Size 5 Pairs
a.co/d/2Ys93DK
Did you use a fuse tap/adapter?
Yup I use a fuse tap to supply power to the quick disconnect cable in my footwell. I got a nice LED push button to put in recently but I’ve been too busy to do it lol
how can i get my tc scion 2010 modded it
This kit should work with mostly any cars as long as the length of the led strips are fine!
Bro I bought this same kit for $30 usd
152 ca is $110 usd
You got finenessed
We actually ordered ours from USA and still saved money lol, you got a good deal!
Brake cleaner is the worst thing you could use to clean before adhesion 😂.
Used it to clean the surface of the underside and gave it extra wipe downs and everything. The adhesive is just bad and only stuck to plastics for me (bumper and side skirts) which isn’t always the best option
I couldn't watch your video in its entirety, As you say: "umm" way to much, ugh. Work on your speech presentation. Nice car, beautiful home, but seriously, please work on your presentation.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Okay 😂
