It will help me to continue creating content for you. Thank you all for the support!

*** FINALLY *** This was the best ambient video explained in full detail! I seen others and it was like a secret they were keeping 😂! Thanks for the information ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So detailed it helped me get everything I needed before I installed it into my own car. One trouble I had though was I had to feed my own wires to the back doors as my car didn’t have any positive terminals

The silverholder kit looks pretty high quality. Thanks for the plug.

Very detail!! Power sources and voltage are those many didn't know. Can tell you are a good life partner.

Thank you so much! Best video i found so far! Won t do it to my brand new car, because it would void the warranty. I really wish to now, seeing how easy it really is! Thank you!

Def gonna buy this kit. Looks like the best quality and has all the things I wanted bundled into one. Thanks!

Great step by step DIY, de pinning the connector is definitely the way to go

Hey man great explanation, one question - do the lights remember their state when turning off and on again? For example, if I choose red color, when I turn off the car and turn it on, does it turn on as red instantly, or do I have to set it again to red and it has some kind of default lighting at startup?

Awesome! Make sure the connector is facing the same way for each strip. So, if you’re doing the doors, the connectors should be facing the front of the car.

instead of tapping into the cigarette lighter why not use a FUSE Tap and tap into the fuse for the Cigarette lighter. the Fuse Tap is much cleaner install. Excellent Video and very detailed. This video inspired me to try installing this kit myself.

@TheAutoSurgeon

4 ай бұрын

Great point! However, the fuse for the cigarette lighter is in the trunk of the car. You would have to run a wire from the fuse box to the front dash if you were to use a fuse tap. The cigarette lighter is a fused connection regardless, and I’d actually argue that it’s a cleaner install than running a 6 foot wire from the trunk.

Since the sub controllers depend on the main controller, can they also be connected to any positive in the door? the question is whether they can absorb even when they are turned off

What if I dont have ambient lights? I connect the doors to the window switch? Do you know which wire is positive and which negative?

Invest in a multimeter. You can find them extremely cheap, ~$15. Using the multimeter, test each pin/wire for power and it’ll help you determine which one has 12v while the car is running! You should be able to find at least one power source, but in the case that you can’t, you’ll have to manually run a wire with the factory harness from the cabin into the door - this sound scarier than it really is. Just make sure it’s running exactly the same as the factory wiring going into the door, otherwise it may snag or tear.

I had my battery connected to test for power with the door panels off. For my car, the airbag light gets reset when you disconnect the battery for ~10minutes and reconnect. I’m not 100% sure if yours will do the same as some people report they need to use a scanner to get rid of it.

@TheAutoSurgeon

3 ай бұрын

Are you running the LED ones or the fibre optic ones? I haven’t noticed any bleeding from the LED ones, so I’m not too sure. You can probably put a piece of black electrical tape on the end to prevent the light from bleeding. In regards to the lights turning on and back off, it sound like it’s an issue with the power. To test if the lights themselves are bad, hook up the power straight to a 9v battery and see if they turn off after 5 seconds. If they work fine, it’s likely the power source, try tapping into a different power source in your car. Hopefully that helps!

Yeah, tint tape should probably work fine! It’s also possible that you just cut the strip at an awkward angle/place. Maybe try cutting off another mm.
