How to install SilverHolder Car Hood LED Strip Multi Color

[@Fitz1983]

update, after owning these in the uk, the easiest way to install is red to positive on battery and black to negative, constant power and simply turn on and off with your phone app when needed, i did manage to program some nice effects, you go into the screen to change what mode and click on the + then for example, add number 46 (forward trailing red) and then + 47 (backward trailing red) the two modes will then loop and you have your own Knight Rider effect. hope this helps.

[@AutoSensation]

Awesome. Thanks for the info

[@zsavage1820]

How can you tell where the ACC fuse is by reading the diagram, because the diagram itself doesn’t make sense

[@garys9718]

Big mistake using a red wire for ground

Yes you are 100% correct. I didn't have the black automotive wire at the time of recording and wanted to finish the video. It has been switched to avoid confusion. Thanks

I would like to install this on my Hyundai and i see the LED strip sits on hood seal (aka hood weather strip). Is this going obstruct what the seal is supposed to do or does this break Hyundai warranty as far as you know?

[@AutoSensation]

Mine does not sit on the weather strip. i don't think it will stick on the strip.

[@user-nx9rg4xm2o]

@autosensation Does the strip glue let us undo and re-stick in case we mess up the first time?

[@AutoSensation]

@@user-nx9rg4xm2o No not really. If you don't press in and just layout first you may be able to realign. If you pull completely off. It may not stick well the secind time. The adhesive is strong. I transfered to a different vehicle and used this. amzn.to/3Uo7fCB

[@simsneon2]

You probably don’t know this but in automotive and in a lot of other cases you do not make a red wire a ground it’s just safer that way what you can do to fix your problem is wrap it in black electrical tape

[@AutoSensation]

Yes. I have been told by another fellow subscriber. I learned and changed it to black. I was out of black wire that day of the installation and was lazy to buy more black ones. Now I understand it has some importance. Thanks for letting me know. 😊

I got my light strip’s delivered and I was wondering from that black box I have 5 (thin cables) 2 X yellow, 1 X black, 1 X Green and 1 X Red. Where do they connect? Thanks

[@AutoSensation]

Are you sure you got the Hood LED strip? You should only have two wires. Black and Red.

[@johndoran959]

Greg I think you should have stepped back with the camera so that you could see the whole hood as the corners on the front are a very sharp turn . I have a Prius and it didn't look the best so I finished at the first sharp corners I blacked out the original light with moving it in towards the center then blocked off the light coming from the strip with black duct tape definitely looked a lot better I bought from the internet and sent it back they sent me 1.2m light strip so I only had to block off a few cm each side with the black tape but it made it look a lot better that first bend makes it very difficult to bend the light strip. Anyhow whatever suits each go particular person

Hi how can I find ACC fuse inside my fuses box for my Lexus RS 450hl year 2020? Pls help . Thanks

[@AutoSensation]

I would use fuse #55 DRL

[@MrMoises27]

I bought the one that is only one color, Dynamic LED strip, the package did not include any instructions to follow for safety, you know. I understand black goes to ground and red to ACC the same way you did it with a Piggyback fuse , so I guess the installation is the same for both types of led strip.

[@AutoSensation]

Yes. The installation is the same.

Yes

[@brandondmatthews]

It does touch but does not crush it.

[@WilldaBear]

In my car manual the fuse box diagram tells me there are a few 10A fuses that are marked as 'spare'. I'm guessing that's the one I'm using when connecting the red wire?

[@AutoSensation]

No. That is your spare fuse in case something goes out. It's not connected to anything.

[@WilldaBear]

@@AutoSensation Oh okay, I understand now. I looked over it again and see that my ACC fuse is a 40A. So I'll need a piggyback fuse adapter to plug that ACC and this new red wire from the LED set like you did.

[@AutoSensation]

@@WilldaBear yes.

[@WilldaBear]

@@AutoSensation Thank you. Is there another fuse that you recommend I can use if I want to add a lightbar? Since the ACC fuse will be already taken by this LED strip. Or should that be hooked up to the car's battery?

@Will depending on how much power your light bar is taking, I would use the battery. Best if you use a switch and a rely.

Hi therr i recently got this installed my friend installed it for me, i think he did it backwards the leds light up the engine bay and not thru the grill , as its already connected is there a way to remove it and correct it?

No. Just a tighter fit.

[@dannyruelas2245]

How can I change the color from white to red as soon as the engine is on ?

[@AutoSensation]

You can set it to red and it will start at red. As far as transitioning to red from white, I'm not sure that would be possible with this kit.

[@NighthawkMcKenzie]

I've ordered it, but wondering.. If the scan feature starts in the center and scans outward left and right, how will that change if you need to shorten the strip? I know starting in the middle and working your way left and right is the way to install, but does that mean you have to "hide" the longer end of the power side?

[@AutoSensation]

Yes. Not recommended to cut because the center will not change. If you cut make sure you seal tight for water proof and you must hide the power side to even out.

[@mattdeluna3869]

Just wrap black electrical tape on the ends

I think you inserted the piggyback into the fuse box the wrong way. The line out needs to be on the opposite side of the fuse terminal. The easiest way to tell if it's wrong is by removing the bottom fuse and seeing if the light strip stops working.
