i have a 2023 elantra sel and i just bought this and installed it today but its daytime and i dont know if it is installed right because the top of the hood has like bumps so it had to go farther back idk if its close enough to the edge to even show the light i dont think the hood would be able to close though if i put it closer to the edge and it probably wouldnt stick right because of the bumps and everything.

@NighthawkMcKenzie11 ай бұрын
To my knowledge there is no such fuse under the hood you can tap, but using a multimeter you could probably find one that is powered when the car is running. I wanted these to work in concert with the existing DRL but everyone has their own way of installing things.

why dot you use the fuse. ACC 15. ?? because your setup will damage the led very fast.

There is no ACC15 fuse in the 2023 panel either under the hood or inside the car. If there was, tapping it for power would have been easier. However, whether using an ACC feed or coming from the battery, the voltage is the same.

How long does this hood light strip last? Does your light strip only come on when your head lights come on at night?

The strip died in less than two months and I had to remove it. No response from the seller. That aside, if you only want the strip coming on with the headlights than you can tap only the gray wire at the headlight harness. The relay 'may' not be needed but it is my personal preference not to run additional electrical loads on stock wiring.

Hi what if I just tap the green cable of drl(power wire) ? I just want the strip to light up when I unlock my car and if it shuts off later on that is fine with me. I couldnt find any existing fuse too to accomplish that purpose. Do you have any expert advice for the same. I own elantra 2021 so your video was very helpful but I do not wnt diodes complication as I am amateur in this stuff tbh.
@NighthawkMcKenzie Жыл бұрын
I couldn't find a fuse that is specific to the DRL lamps on their own (it was the first thing I tried!) If the 2021 is wired the same as my 2023 (and it likely is) the DRL lamps are on full power until your headlights come on, then they dim to 50%. The DRL lamps also turn OFF when you activate the turn signal. If you tap only the green wire on the driver side, the strip will be on when the car is turned on, started and running but will shut off when the left turn signal is on (during the day) and possible behave poorly when the headlights are on as it is getting only 50% power. In my experiments, the 50% power from the DRL wire wasn't enough to charge the relay and keep the strip on. This is why I had to also tap the headlight wire and use diodes to prevent back feeding. As for getting the strip to come on only when you unlock the car??? That sounds like tapping the power unlock wire and using a microprocessor solution to keep power to the strip for 10 seconds after the signal is received. That one is outside my experience.

@NighthawkMcKenzie Жыл бұрын
If you haven't bought this strip yet, I suggest you don't. It failed within two months and I have since removed it. The company never responded to my request for a replacement or refund. The strip is fed through the rubber bumpers for the hood, other than that is is just adhered to the hood lip using the supplied double sided tape. There is no seal. When the hood is closed, the light is visible through the gap between the facia and the hood.
