Hey, i installed two red LED windshield nozels on my car and have the grounds going to a bolt in the engine compartment and the other power wires to the low-beam fuses so that the LEDs turn on when i turn on my headlights. This set up is alright for me for now, but eventually i would like to hook the power wire form the LEDs to the turn signal power wire, so that when i have my headlights on the LEDs remain on, but when i engage the turn signal left, left goes on and the right goes on with the right. I was wondering if this would work if i found the wire to the daylight driving lights (yellow ones on bumper) and connected them to the respective side, because when my headlights are on, so are those AND when you engage the turn signal, the corresponding side blinks. Assuming this to be correct, wouldnt the LEDs blink with the bumper lights? also if this would be true, where would i find the wires for the bumper lights? thanks again!

that can't happen
the turn signal lights are a 3 wire set
with a bulb that has 2 filaments

so the reason why its always lit when the headlights are on is cause there is always consistent power to 1 filament
when you need it to flash a 2nd filament lights up for the flash feature (2power wires 1 ground)

with an LED, 194 bulb or similar 1 filament bulbs you CANNOT have it always on and flash....its you have your choice of 2 wires
1 = always on
1= only flash not always on

Let me outline the process for you like I've done before...
1. Throw "LAZ3R" nozzles in trash.

Actually, if you have to have them just hook up a relay that will inerupt the power to the light when ever the blinker is on and let the LEDs draw it's power from the parking lights. That's the easiest way to do it. I'm sure there are many other ways to accomplish it though.

playr is talking about the turn signals in the bumper.

cyb593 is talking about the sidemarkers on the fenders.

maybe you should both re-read what the other person was posting about and apologize.

my point is there is 2 blinkers if he wants the right led one to blink when he is making a right hand turn thats fine but it wont work for the left cause the set of wires(positive and negative) are wired to the right hand side blinker. meaning there is one set of wires which on mine is positive and negative it is not impossible to do that maybe if u bought 2 pairs and only used one light from each one and wired one of them to ur right blinker and one to the left blinker then it would work. meaning u have to have 2 sets of wire

My wife had some on her car before I got a hold of them and ripped em out. They had two wires coming out of each light/nozzle. You must have gotten the ultra-cheap ones made in japinasiatwan or some other 9th world country. Anyway, they're still ghey.

I also have two sets of wires coming from each nozel, one black wire for grounding and one white one for power connection. Getting LEDs and exterior neons and all is a personal choice...i personally like the red lighting on my car, as i already have red streetglow undercar neons, and I think the car looks good with the nozel LEDs also. I do agree, however, that alone, the nozel LEDs do not look nearly as good as when you have a neon lighting theme.

Basically, it's your car...If you like them, awesome, if not then don't do it to your car...period
