@DogsSnipes Год назад

It's not bright enough for a corolla cuz u gotta bend it a lot :(

@aitsokxxx Год назад

Guys, avoid bending fiber optic wire greater than 90 degrees as it will affect light brightness after some time. It has to be as straight as possible for the best effect and just if you need to bend it a little bit.

@Solar-Atlas Год назад

Can you trim it if needed?

@aviklee6247 Год назад

Thank for the video! Does the app/Bluetooth have to open for the music function to work? Or can I just set it once and forget about it?

Set and forget

@thief3042 2 года назад

What happens if your car doesn't have a foot well lighting in the car, would I would have to use the fuse box to hardwire for the front cig. lighter slot. But not sure if i need to use a 22-16 awg connection to crimp and connect the wires or use a 16-14 awg.

@AutoSensation 2 года назад

22-16 awg should be fine.

@bradleylovej 2 года назад

This is a great video, very useful information. Also, when it's hard-wired does it always turn on when you start the car, or can you set it to be off when you turn the key?

@AutoSensation 2 года назад

You can set it to turn off when the key is off. You just connect the power wire to a fuse that shuts off when the keys is off.

@bradleylovej 2 года назад

@@AutoSensation Cool, thanks!

@NarutoFatality 2 года назад

Can I just use the 12v cigarette adapter to power it on? So I can manually turn them on and off without being hardwire.

@AutoSensation 2 года назад

Yes you can

@Shrreder 2 года назад

you said that you used two led heads to avoid hotspots; i can see the hot spots are mostly in the bends and curves of the cable, but using two heads? what does that mean?

@AutoSensation 2 года назад

Using two led source head. One on each end.

@69boobee 2 года назад

I’m this vid you only use 1 head? If you put one on each end would you avoid those hot spots? I want to do the front and back of a crew cab Ram. Not sure if 5 heads will cover it. But at the price I can get 2 kits. You think this kit compares to the more expensive fiber optic kits like Xk or oracle? Thanks. Good vid👍

@AutoSensation 2 года назад

Yes. I actually went back and used two heads. One on each end and it turned out excellent.

For this set up not on the windsheild. Low enough that it does not reflect. On the side windows yes but not much. Only at night and only the corners.

How do you connect app with installation? In my car it’s manually on /off via 12V socket but now it’s flashing all colors red green blue all the time it is very annoying..

@AutoSensation Год назад

If it's the same lighting I have. Download the Happylighting app. Make sure you lights are on. Wait a few seconds for the Bluetooth to turn on from the controller box. Turn on Bluetooth on phone and connect to the controller. Then open the app. On the top left side menu make sure you are connected to the controller. Now you can control the lights. Hope that helps

You can tap into the fuse box. You will need to figure out which fuse is the cigarette plug fuse and tap into that.

Can they be wired into the door switches. So when you open the door and close it they turn on and fade when the car is started. Then turned on when desired??

@AutoSensation 2 года назад

Yes they can be wired to the door switches. But will not turn on when desired. Will only turn on with whatever power source you decide.

@chrisperry9002 2 года назад

@@AutoSensation thanks, wondering if you could use another switch wired in to use them for both door entry then switch at will when wanted. Really want the factory look of lights when entering and at will when parked. Was the install difficult? I have a corvette and there aren't many gaps to tuck anything in to. And most factory lights are hidden by a shelf above like a recessed lamp where as you don't actually see the bulb. You just get that beautiful light coming down from under the shelf without actually seeing the bulbs themselves. My father's Mercedes e400 had well hidden lights and looked awesome except for the ugly burnt orange color they were. But the layout looked great. Thanks again.
