guys i don't wanna put them to a switch like the DIY that is posted on the site.

i wanna conect them to my headlights...so how do i do that?
well i have two wires, white and black...so i'm guessing black ground it, and what do i do with the white one?

First off, you might wanna check the local laws to see if they're illegal at all. I know from experience that here in Montana (it's a pretty messed up state) they're not.
If you still want to, the way I did it (it's probably not the best way, but it worked) was I took the wires to my parking lights, stripped off a small section of the insulation, and connected the LED wires to that. Black with Black, and white with .. I think it was green. You could also hook them up the same way to your turn signal, so that they blink when you're turning. But that's the way I did it, although they're not hooked up now. *sigh* Stupid laws ..

Anyways hope that helps!!

Also, if anyone reading this has a better way of doing it, please let me/us know! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I see alot of people in Florida with them, anyone know if they are actually legal. I don't see why something like that would even be illegal in the first place. I see more annoying things out there then two small lights comming from the washers.

reason why led's dif color head lights and undercar lights, lights inside the car that u can see the bulb from the out side... they are all illigeal because they impersonate (sp?) an emergency vehicle because the sirens and strobs look like green, blue, orange,red and so on and so forth.. many many police officers have told me this each time ive been stopped and i ask them why and this is what they tell me.ive gotten 2 tickets for having them in the past 3 years with both of my cars. not a huge bigy around kansas city, but in bigger citys i can see why.

you could run them into the plug in the back of where the parking light bulb goes. i did that, only i went into my blinker bulb harness. or, you can but crimps that crimp on the outside of the wire, that way you dont have to strip off the insulation. hope that helped.

One more thing I should probably mention (even though you're looking for installation advice, it's always good to know what can get you a ticket) when I got pulled over for having my LED washers on (the second time) the cop said that you can only have white or amber on the front of the car, so if they're either of those two colors (which IMO are probably the worst colors available - where's the fun in white LEDs??) you *should* be alright. But then again I live in Montana, and laws here are a lot different.

Good Luck!

You should be ok with WHITE or AMBER here in MIAMI. But you won't be OK with people that hate RICERS. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Seriously...it's your taste! Do what you please. I wouldn't put those on though.

im totally lost on this. im guessing i would just ground the black wire to the ground on the battery and where would i connect the white wire to so it can switch on and off with my headlights?

this was one of my first mod. its easy, the black is any ground like part of the car body or just the - battery terminal. the power goes to any 12v power source. you can use a switch to control them, or wire it to anything else like parking light, headlight, etc.

if you want it to work with parking light on, wire the power to the red wire going to the small park light. they will also stay on when headlight is used. if you only want them on with headlight but not with park light, wire the power to the 12v headlight bulb wire (red or red/yel depending on the driver or passenger side).

i see a wiring harness on both the driver and passenger sides. i see a red and red/yellow wire but what do i do next?

easiest is just tap the led power wire to the parking light power wire. find the park light wiring, and then tap into the red wire. to do this, you carefully strip off the outer plastic of the wire to expose the metal, then wrap the led wire around it and tape it all together to seal it back up. do not actually cut the parking power wire.
