I normally drive with my lights on all the time. Unfortunately I


have a G35 coupe that is unequipped with daytime running lights.


One of the ONLY things I didn’t like about this car, UNTIL NOW.


I found on iJDMtoy.com the Audi-Style LED Daytime Running LED


light strips.I figured this is something that I’ve never done


before, so there has to be others that have never installed


these either. Maybe this DIY could help others in the future. I


have never done any lighting modifications or automotive


electrical work on my own before, so experience is not in my


favor.


So let’s get on with it… (This is going to be a little


G35-centric since that’s the car I’m doing this on. You may have


to find another light to splice into if your side markers blink.


You do NOT want to splice the DRLs into lights that blink on and


off)


1. Gather materials – You will need either wire cutters, or a


paring knife to retract the wire covering. I felt more in


control with a paring knife. I also used a flash light, and


straightened a wire hanger for this project. Electrical tape is


also used.


2. Remove the side marker light from the front bumper and


detach the bulb housing from the plastic light fixture. This


will provide you the opening necessary to feed your LED wire


through to be close to your side marker light bulb. Let the bulb


hang in place while you are working.


3. Determine where you want to place your LED strips in the


lower vents of your front bumper. Make sure you have enough room


to place the LEDs flat against the surface you plan to adhere


them to. The LEDs are able to be cut, but I didn’t cut mine I


used all 15 LEDs on the strip.


4. Feed the wire through the lower bumper up to the main side


marker hole ( in the center, where the light bulb rests). Make


sure you’re not feeding the wire through the smaller clip holes


on the sides of the larger light bulb opening. I used the


straightened wire hanger and created a loop at the end. I fed


the hanger through the center hole of where the side marker fits


into my front bumper all the way down to my lower bumper. I slid


the LED wire into the loop of the hanger, and then pulled the


hanger back out of the center hole slowly, thus feeding the wire


to me. Let the LED wire hang through that hole.


5. Using the paring knife, strip approximately .5″(in) of


wire covering from the red and black wires that connect the side


marker light bulb. Go all the way around, exposing the copper


wire below. BE CAREFUL, if you cut through this copper wire,


your side markers will not work.


6. Using the wire cutters, expose the silver and copper wires


of the clear LED cables by stripping approximately 1″ of wire


from the ends of both wires. You will notice one of the wires is


silver, and one is copper even before stripping the wires.


7. Turn on your car lights (not your car). Test that your


LEDs work by touching the SILVER wire of the LEDs to the RED


wire of the light bulb, and the COPPER wire of the LEDs to the


BLACK wire of the light bulb. The LEDS should turn on instantly,


and all 3 lights should be on (headlights, side marker bulb and


LEDs). If this is the case, proceed. If your lights don’t turn


on, you could possibly have not stripped enough plastic covering


off of the light bulb wires. Ensure that you are touching the


wire and not the plastic covering. If you still have problems,


you could have a defective strip of LEDs. Use the other strip of


LEDs to test.


8. Once you have determined your LEDs work, TURN THE LIGHTS


OFF. Then wrap the exposed wire of the LEDs around the


corresponding (refer to step 7) color of the light bulb wires.


Make sure you wrap as much of the exposed LED wire all the way


around the bulb wire. When you are complete the LED plastic


coating should be close to the exposed bulb wire.


9. Test your lights again to ensure your lights still turn


on. Headlights, side marker bulb, and LEDs should all be on at


this point.


10. If your lights still turn on, CONGRATS!!! Now TURN THEM


OFF!!! You are ready to tape the LED wire to the light bulb


wire. Using small strips of black electrical tape, (I cut about


2″ of tape from the roll, and then using the paring knife, split


that in half) wrap the half strip around each paired LED wire


and bulb wire adhering them together. Once this is done, the


electrical work is complete.


11. Gently replace the light bulb fixture back into the side


marker housing and attach the housing back to the front bumper,


taking care to feed the light bulb housing and new LED wires


into the main light bulb hole. You should press until you hear


both sides click into place.


12. Now you are ready to remove the adhesive from the rear of


the LED strip, and place your LEDs on the pre-determined flat


surface of your lower bumper. I adhered mine to the lower mesh


of my K2 bumper.


Now simply repeat for the other side. (starting at step 2)


I was very pleased by the simplicity of this install having


never done electrical before. As I said before, hopefully


reading this will give others the confidence to try this install


and bond with their car. I definitely got a sense of


satisfaction once I saw the finished product. This was also the


first install my 5 year old son got to help me with.. He held


the flashlight for me the whole time and was my "light tester".


He was amazed at the finished product as well and now thinks I’m


a master mechanic.

have questions, please comment and I’ll respond as promptly as


possible.





I will come back to WWW.OKLEDLIGHTS.COM next time ,guys there are really great !!!
