Hey guys,

My friends and I custom made LEDs yesterday to my car and my Wise Square LED lights.

Wise Square LED lights

After retrofitting LED signal (OFF) + reverse light (ON)

Night shot


Basically we LED the whole car.

- Parkers
- Front signals
- Side signals
- Rear signals
- Reverse lights
- Number plate lights
- Boot lights
- Reading lights
- Main interior lights

The whole thing took us about 7 hours to do. And its very bright !
My rear signals especially, pics don't do them justice, you have to see them for yourself.

Cheers fellas !

Good job.

Did you leave the winkers?

You didn't take the wisesquare lights apart then?

What did you use for the rear indicators?

I used these for the front indicators. There are no better bulbs for the housings (due to the bulbs not being forward facing)

Here's my setup: http://forum.s15oc.com/showpost.php?p=19275&postcount=31

I'd welcome better suggestions for the map lights and rear indicators :nod:

no way i'm gonna take the rear lights apart man.. we just slid the led stripe in there.

im thinking of taking the front lights apart tho,
wanna do like those concept cars where there's a whole stripe of LED in front of those lights.
still deciding, might look a bit too ricey.

We used flexible LED stripes, so we didnt need to take the wisesquare apart.
we just slid the flexible stripe into the signal bulb hole and had to adjust it around,
then we squeeze back the bulb holder so its tight.

your setup is much easier cause its just plug & play, we had to use the stripe.
I'll take a pic of my interior lights later, and let you see later.
for the main interior lights, i have 12 LEDs and the map light i have 6 LEDs.
i think for both interior lights, 6 each is enough.

i noticed that you used the LED flasher relay to stop it from fast blinking.
I need this now. i cant stand it blinking so fast. How many do i need if all my signals are LED ?

cheers mate.

The one relay has to control the four main flashers (the sides aren't in the 'blown bulb' circuit). If you get a relay from somewhere else, make sure the -VE and -VE pins are correct. There are many different types...

Where can you buy the LED strips?
