Hello boss. This looks amazing! You did a really good job at making it look perfect. I would like to do this to my mk5 golf. Do you remember the diameter of the clear plastic you cut out to fit in the taillight perfect. Thanks if you can help!!
nice... just wondering what card is it for the connection? is it just a set of resistor?
Fenomenalno je ispalo.

Congratulations on the beautiful videos you give us. One question, have you checked if the hot glue remains in its original state under the sun at high temperatures?
@arcgarage

Thank you for support. The use of hot glue here is minimal, and I use the one with higher melting point so sun heat is not an issue...
From where the dimmer can be bought?
Any link from where you find that dimmer?
What is the brand and code of the headlight you are dealing with in the video?

Hi mate, that’s looks great, I did similar build, could you please advise on how to bypass the canbus/dashboard light error, do you use led decoder resistors?

От куда вы?
Just one question, how did you defeat the canbus tester? I'm a long time LED user and quite competent at electronics (telco tech by trade), but I don't want to have load resistors. I presume this was your work around?

You can also tap small 12v Bulbs (dashboard bulbs) in to the wiring that way you can trick the system as well
Hi. How can the light got out from reflective film and while its inside a acrylic?

Awesome. I have a car . Could you tell me the percentage of silver film you used for infinity tail light. I would be happy if you answer. I look forward to hearing from you soon. What is the percentage of reflective and transmissive

valeo 1k6 945 093 G is a taillight with this code, if you have a headlight, the possibility of breaking the lens is extremely high, I did not see any problems with hella etc. other brands, valeo manufactures this headlight by making molds, it is necessary to break it in order to disassemble it, I will upload a video about it to my channel.
Hey bud would i be able to email you and send my tailights in to you?
