FENDER LED HOOKUP ?

[poordom]

Good afternoon All.

I have just purchased a set of LED strips to be mounted on the fender indentation.

They are cheap, but I figured I would try them for the hell of it.

Question : These strips come with 3 wires.
2 of the 3 wires are to be connected in such a way, that the LED strip is to be used as day time driving ( WHITE LED )
the 3 wire is to be connected in such a way, to be used as a flasher ( ORANGE LED )


How should I connect these in order to achieve the driving light and flasher light when needed.

See pic below.

Thanks

Dom

3 WIRE LED

:clap:....Welcome to the world of DIY......For a running light you only need to connect that wire to the same wire as the tip or side marker ( if you have one ) because they are on ALL the time.......For it to FLASH -- like " with the turn signal " ....you will need to bring a wire down from the turn signal harness to your LED to power that wire.....UNLESS someone has an easier method of doing this .........I'm listening also......Mike :bbq:

I don't know where those lights are made, but be careful with those, specially the ones made in china! You buy them cheap, because they're cheaply made! I got a pair of l e d head lights for my car and they came with reverse polarity! Hope everything goes flawless with your farkle! Post pictures with finish product! hyea:

I'd check them on a work bench before going to the bother of installing to make sure they work. And they look like you want them to look. I have a few sitting around that didn't pass the test of "looks"

:agree::lecturef_smilie: Glad you found lights good.From the little i see in pic, i dont think they will be bright enough for safety,:yikes: they look more indoor type. You also might get hyper flash if you hook to your blinkers. Good luck:thumbup:

Yup, put em on the bench first. I don't think they'll put out enough light to even bother go through the troubles, and potential issues. I agree, they look "indoor" worthy but not meant for a vibrating, weather exposed machine. Good luck. I'd also like to see a daytime picture if you go through with the install. Nighttime pics are worthless...all lights look bright enough at night. It's the daytime affect that other drivers see, that I would wanna see. If you can't tell they're even on during the day, to me it's not worth the trouble and expense.
