Installing DRL and Sequential LED turn indicator on Toyota CHR

[@radshifter]

After watching this video a hundred times finally finished installing it! Made my chr look 💯 better, thanks for the video!!

[@davida.7967]

I've got an 18', thinking of doing it as well. Was it the same for you? a Green wire to splice into?

[@yeasboy]

Very Nice video. I have seen hundreds of videos no one explain that much good for wiring connection. I have order already need to install.

[@mickeycruz3255]

Hi, how did you split into two the fuse tap wire? Did you use a t tap connector?

[@jamessinamoni7918]

Hey just wondering if anyone can help, so when I was watching this video, I seen how you tap the yellow drl wire to the green for indicator, but I have a Toyota Corolla 2018, and for the indicator I only have a black and white wire for the indicator, which one should I tap into? Thanks for the help

[@banane192837465]

James Sinamoni i guess the white One. Black usually is ground. Check with a multimeter

[@jamessinamoni7918]

banane192837465 okay sweet, thanks for the help

Brilliant idea for wrapping the stock signal 👍👍

[@sagewolf8528]

The tin foil will reflect all the heat back to the bulb and could start a fire.

[@eezwheezy6766]

just take out the bulb.. no need to use.. 🤣

This is for the version that doesn’t come with sequential lights

I am trying to follow this and do the wiring for my 2006 highlander but I dont have an unoccupied space in my fuse box. Help!

[@carDIYs]

You don’t need an unoccupied space, but instead buy a splice fuse of higher power and replace one of the fuses with the splicing fuse

[@danegordon7483]

Ok I have a splicing fuse so I try it with the cig fuse which is 15A. I am trying to do mine exactly like yours!

[@danegordon7483]

Thank you so much I appreciate your response

[@behestiavci1260]

Really cool. Can you share the link to the product?

[@GalloLoko08]

Definitely doing this on mine 🔥

[@mayetsese1]

Hi wondering if you can answer my question. Do you connect both yellow wire then tap to the green wire? Thanks

[@carDIYs]

No.. connect yellow wires to the respective side green wire

[@tekball9]

So far my sequential amber lights are the only ones working and not the white DRL. To clarify, please let me know if steps are correct? 1. Both black wires from the LED strip connects to a ground metal of the car. 2. Connect green wire from turn signal to yellow wire of the LED strip 3. Connect the red wire from the LED strip to the red wire that is tapped to the 10amp fuse (connected to the empty fuse space of the fuse box)

[@htckylin]

Black wire to ground or negative on battery. Green, yellow, or anything else to signaling wire (your signal light is best bet). Red to empty fuse or ACC fuse.

[@johnwagner4559]

Nice job! Idk if you can help me but I have a 03 buick lesabre custom, I don't have heated or turn signal mirrors now, but I'm trying to add the turn signal glass with arrow pods on the back, same as factory. I bought the oem mirror glasses with the indicator arrows in them(only the limited models came with the signal mirror feature), two wires coming out of the mirror, I ran the wires up to the headlight assy and was going to splice into the side signal socket(only two wires there too). Should be easy but the arrows in the mirrors stay on constantly but blinked when the turn signal is activated and then light constantly when turn signal is off. I think this is not working correctly because of the drl system. It was darker inside of the garage when this occurred so thought to take for a ride in daylight and nothing in the mirrors worked, no light in the arrows at all! Can you help me to wire this correctly to work as it should? The signal in the mirrors should obviously only blink when the turn signal is turned on. I was gonna try splicing into the dedicated turn signal in the frt bumper but it had more then two wires coming out of that socket. Maybe THATS the one to splice into.... IDK. If the car didn't have drl, this would be easy. There is no information anywhere I can find on this, I've looked everywhere. There is one vid on KZbin on this but he doesn't show how to wire it. There must be a way to properly wire these in I'm sure, but I'm not getting it. I don't know if this matters but I'm trying this to the left side first, I haven't wired the right side yet. Will it only work until I wire both sides at the same time? I'm only trying this with one side is that creating an open circuit or something? Instead of tapping both wires from mirror into the socket, do I have to connect the black wire from mirrors to a separate ground elsewhere? I'm totally stumped! DESPERATE! THANKS!

[@carDIYs]

Please can you email me at [e-mail] or whatsapp me in the number given in my personal website www.rajeev.velikkal.com. Definitely we can work this out

[@johnwagner4559]

@@carDIYs Thanks you! I've sent an email from your site. I'll await your response. Thanks!

[@chrisb8870]

Do you have to tap a fuse at fuse panel (ACC) for Red wire if you have existing stock DRL? Can you just tap into the other + wire at headlights bulb?

[@carDIYs]

Actually initially I tried this and it was giving me some problem, and so decided to tap power from fuse box to be on safer side.

[@gabeanonix3030]

Where did you connect the red wires to?? For the DRL? Is it constant?

[@carDIYs]

Yes, both side red wire connected together and then connected to the fuse tap

[@johnhaenen4332]

Hi Rajeev, Why don't you connect the DRL wire to the DRL wire of the cars headlight? In that case the added DRL is simultaniously switcht with the DRL of the car. Or am I making a mistake here? Greatings from the Netherlands.

[@carDIYs]

It was giving some issue for me and so thought of connecting directly.

[@therealneal6567]

Hi. I'm interested in doing this for my fiat 500x mirror indicators. Do you think this method would work?

[@alexwk9830]

The 2020 XLE needs this

[@yeasboy]

I have Honda Civic 2009. I don’t have drl light in it off course. Us there is anyway u can switch on and off to it?

[@carDIYs]

Maybe we will have to connect it via a switch if you need to switch it on and off

[@nakeyacarmichael7692]

I am trying to put these on a 2016 vw Passat. My drl and my turning signal is on the same circuit. When I use the turning signal it works. But how do I get it to go back to led?

[@carDIYs]

I guess this needs separate line for DRL and turn signal. Wonder how come your Passat having it in same line, may be this is CAN controlled. Maybe you have to have a CAN decoder build specifically for this case

[@DD-kr8dm]

Agreeing with you. But there should be some solutions. It is a fact that most of the drivers are loosing their concentration in driving while using mobiles (bluetooth or the other way) Misusing I should say.

[@srinivasavv2989]

How can I get this item to Nellore, AP, India.

[@carDIYs]

You can order it from AliExpress or the link I provided in the comments

[@dewamaysa7569]

that's safe when you wrap indicator bulbs for the future? and you wrap just only the edge or full of bulbs? thanx anw..

[@carDIYs]

Last couple of months the bulb is in wrapped condition and so far no issues. Even I was thinking it will create some heat inside but looks like the aluminium foil is able to absorb it.

[@carDIYs]

Yes, you need to wrapp the entire glass part of the bulb, and better if you can extend it slightly to the holder area as well for more grip

[@nastyelement567]

Hi, can you tell me a clue to get the exactly same strip please, name part number, company, thanks.

Hi Rajeev Would you be knowning how to mirrror iPhone to TOYOTA CHR original Japanese audio-video player (NSZT Y66T)? Thank you

[@carDIYs]

I know to mirror it to toyota touch 2 monitor that comes in Europe version. But not sure of Japanese version. What connection options do you have in this head unit, Apple car play/Android Auto?

[@damindarupasinghe5434]

Rajeev I don’t think it has either of those 😕. I’ve seen on KZbin that they put an additional AV input after removing the head unit or something! Really sorry I’m a real biginner to this field!

[@carDIYs]

For additional AV you can look at my video that says how to enable AV on Touch 2 monitor. Since the wirings and connectors are all same should work on this head unit as well. Or try to figure out if there is an additional AV pin, or you can also use the reverse camera AV.

[@ledmk2]

Can you cut this led strips on the size?

[@htckylin]

Yes, there are cut mark marks along the strip ( 8-> ),

[@aaronyap696]

Greetings sir! May I ask that do you connect both DRLs into 1 fuse tap (red) and 1 ground (black)? Or do you use 1 fuse tap and 1 ground for each DRL (meaning have to use 2 fuse tap and 2 ground for both DRL)? Amazing work BTW!

[@carDIYs]

Just get one fuse tap and connect both left and right DRL positive(red wire) to this, black you can connect to ground(body of car)

[@hassangraya4622]

Hi , is there any other way to fix the yellow wire to the green wire without having a cut on the green wire with the T Tap ? #warantee

[@carDIYs]

The other option is to use a sharp pin to which a wire is soldered to and pierce the wire and take the connection from the pin. Can remove the pin later if going for any warranty claim. Also what I have seen is that the small insulation cut that the T tap makes is not that visible. The other option will be to trace the wire and find out if this is coming from the fuse box and use a fuse tapper

I don't understand wrapping the globe in foil? Like, just remove the globe if you don't want it there. That way if you need it later you can just reinstall it, and still have a lot of life left in it. AND, you don't run the risk of losing a ball of foil in your headlight housing! Good luck fishing that one out!

[@carDIYs]

If you remove the indicator bulb then the out put load resistance of the flasher unit will become less and it will flash faster. The bulb is kept to keep the flashing speed normal
