LED head lights

[vt josh]

today i was on my way home driving through liverpool and i seen a green vr with LED's in the front bar kind of like the new hsv dose any one know where to get these from and if they make them for vt commodores

[TMM]

search ebay for LED light strip. You have to diy with how you are going to mount it.

It'll look pretty lame on a VT front bar though imo. The best way to mount them is to open up your headlights and place it along the front edge.

thats what i had in mind just got to find the right strip that will fit

There ya go.

[vt josh]

thanks mate i think i just might go with them ones

[HoldenOnn]

Don't go with those LED's in the link above. I purchased a set of these about 1 day before I found what I was looking for. I will give you a link to where to go to get the ones you want.

I found the correct ones to use through other members who had them. I installed them on my car, and within 1 week of doing so, I had my work mates and friends install on their cars. The list of cars which these lights are on after seeing mine are; My White VZ Calais, Black CV8 04 Monaro, Silver CV8 04 Monaro, Black VZ Clubsport, White VY Calais, and soon to be the Missus's White VE.

These will fit almost any vehicle. The strip is only 4 or 5mm think. The LED do not protrude out. The LED's are side firing. These are not dazzling at night, and still visible during direct sunlight but look best on overcast days with parklights only on.

The pics below tell the story.

The site to go to is; EZIHID - HID Conversion Kits, Globes, All In One Kits, HID Lights Perth Western Australia, HID KitsAftermarket headlights Sydney Western Australia, Hid xenon kits Sydney, Hid xenon kits Sydney nsw, Hid xenon kits Sydney Western Australia, Hid convers

or click here on same site; EziHID

A couple of Pics below for you;













Here's the difference between the two sets. After seeing them side by side in my garage, there was no comparison. Don't go cheap ebay LED's. Pics Below;

hey mate, that car u've seen is a bloke on the SC forums cant remember the name of the thread thou.

His setup from memory is not a strip, its individual LEDs drilled and mounted in the ridge of the fog light bezzels, wired up to the parker circuitry. it can be adapted to any frontbar, but placement will be the key here, i would try some photoshoping first to help with its position.

EDIT: added pic

Wow, they look really good on the VZ, not too sure on the monaro's tho. Looks like it's gonna be the new craze.

[jujibelly]

Are these legal in Victoria? I suspect they're not.

[sleepa]

Day time running lights are legal as long as they are white. These would be classified as daytime running lights because they are not as bright as headlights. Vicroads actually recommends daytime running lights and if your vehicle doesn't have them to turn on your low beams during the day.
If the cops hassle anyone from it, that might be a good excuse.

they look pretty sick mate..
how do you think they would look on a VS?

Fantastic!

[Xbeyna]

These Look Awesome.
Looking To install them on my vz calais.

[Verynice]

Im not usually a fan of tacked on led strips, but that VZ looks sleek!

[HoldenOnn]

I know there a many different things that we do to personalise our own cars. Im the first person to call someone a w@nker or the like with tacky add-ons like massive wings, ugly bodykits, massive exhaust tips etc, but I just think for around $60, this is an awesome add on to a nice clean car. Its not trying to be an Audi or HSV, its just a good look in my opinion.

My mates and I love them on our cars. White cars look good with them, but my mates black cars stand out so much more and look awesome also.

Couple of Sh@tty quality phone pics of my other mates cars which we did the installs on. You get the idea that black cars look really sweet and stand out;

[ZOMBIE]

looks good on the VZ, i may have to do this to my ute.

also using that thinner, higher quality LED strip seems to be the go, looks much better!

[danieLOL]

how have you wired them up?

*Edit* saw in the other thread you said u did it through the fog lights, but ur foglights arent on in that last picture?

[Cashaz]

They look very nice, need a good guide on how to set up for specific series also need to find the right product for the right car.. Ebay is in my opinion "dodgy" at times.

However, I'd like to see them on a statesman. There is bound to be 1 person on the forum who has got the idea and started moulding the LEDs to sell to Commo/Stato Owners?

Someone, Anyone?

[HoldenOnn]

I have used the fog light wiring hence, the fog lights do not power up anymore. This is fine for me and my mates as fog lights are illegal in WA unless you are driving though fog which is maybe once a year so I don't want fog lights to power up anyway. Also, it saves running wiring into the cabin for an extra switch and also saves you connecting to parkers. So we can easily turn on and off with the switch which usually turned on fog lights.

I even had my best mate who is an auto electrician put on the same plug onto the LEDs as what the factory fog lights have. This way, I can unplug the LEDs at anytime and plug straight into fog lights and have them working again if I ever wanted too. It is such a better way than to have to solder into the fog light harness. Most good auto electricians will have the female plug which allows fitment into factory fog light harness. Then its a plug and play affair at any time between foggies and LEDs, and its neater and easier to remove LEDs without a trace if ever required.

Here are some pics I found when considering LED strips;

[Jezza]

just wondering, i have just purchased some drl from the ezyhid site and i was wondering if the vy series 2 acclaims have a foglight switch and cables because the light switch will pull out but not click in the out position and i haven looked for the fog light plugs yet

[GAMBLR]

Doubt it mate. Most Acclaims didn't have foglights standard, so the switch would only be a standard dial. And I don't believe they have wiring for the fog lights either, as I'm fairly sure they weren't an option on Acclaims.

[Jezza]

so i would wire them up to the parkers then

[GAMBLR]

Probably the easiest way IMO buddy. Unless you run wires to an aftermarket switch in the cabin, I'd just tap into the park wire circuit. And I'm certain they'd be legal so I can't see you being defected for them being on all the time.
