LED lower grille mod almost done...(UPDATED)

[jankaroni]

I had said I would post some progress on this lil project of mounting LED's in the grilles next to the fog lamps so heres what I got so far.....basically everything is done except mounting them in the car which I am going to go into work early tomorrow and do

LED's from www.oznium.com the superflex 4 cell LED's

First get the grilles out of the car obviously

The one grille you have to fill in one of the slots since it is open for the intercooler. Since I have access to all kinds of plastic bonding stuff working in a body shop this was fairly easy, I cut out a piece of a nissan bumper and cut it to fit the slot, then glued it in using some 3M TPO plastic repair



Then you have to drill all of the holes, 3/8" holes 1 inch apart in this case.



Then you have to glue all of the LED's in, I picked up this 2 part 5 minute plastic weld stuff since I did this part at home and couldn't bring the stuff home from work that I needed. Once you have them glued in I also glued them again on the backside and siliconed them just to be safe that no water got in (even though the LED's are waterproof).



Now its a matter of just grouping all of your wires and soldering them up and shrink wrapping them. (I am planning on covering up the wires and silicone with some sort of black tape to make it a little cleaner and to be sure that you don't see the wires from the front side)



and you are ready to mount them into the car and wire them up
heres what they look like out of the car...



I ordered another fog light switch to match the ones I have and I am gonna put DRL on it to set it off from the other fog light switch, I just wanted to be able to turn them on and off at my will, rather than having them on all the time when my lights are on.


I will post up more pics tomorrow night once I have them in my car.


if anyone has any ideas that could make this project any better let me know i'd love to hear about it......and if you have any criticism about it.....feel free to let me know i am welcome to it

haha i cant wait either.....it was pretty tempting to try to go outside and do it right now in my parking lot of my development in the dark......but realized that wasn't going to work and I should just wait til the morning and do it at my work....in a well lit environment haha

[ngng]

i am debating whether i like it with the amber or without the amber.....please give me your thoughts everyone it would be appreciated

[SykoraA4]

sexy. i like it without the ambers. i got mine today, but ive got to wait till sunday to get them on...

[Vi3tBoY1029]

that looks hella nice. i was jsut wondering if u hooked up your leds to make them HID or are they just what you bought from oznium?

[J Ozzie]

SICKKKK, I hope the blue led's match my 8000k lights. Im stoked to do this mod, thats ballin buddayyy

[J Ozzie]

Oh and with out amber,

P.S. Nice Grille

[jankaroni]

Without the amber and your car looks sick

[burner799]

do they have the led's in more of the white oem color? looks a bit like a lot of the fake blue led's on ricers that have been showing up lately.

[jankaroni]

that is the color that they have listed as white......i cant really complain because that actually match my original 5000k bulbs perfectly which 5000k is said to be damn near perfect white by all OEM manufacturers offering HID's for their cars (they may actually say 4600K)...........that is WHITE the white you see out of halogen bulbs is far from pure white............that is if that is what you are comparing it too..

PS. if this post makes no sense i understand i just got home from the bar and it took me about 15 minutes to create this post hahahaha

[solowb5]

Do you have your leds wired on a seperate circuit?

[D.C. Designs]

take off the amber and it would look perfect

[jaustin]

looks very nice.

[jankaroni]

the amber is out, i took it out then after looking at the pics i wasnt sure if i liked it or not hahaha....but i am gonna leave it out i like it without it as well

[Vreihenmotor6]

I think this type of mod looks best on cars without fogs

[jankaroni]

I think this type of mod looks best on cars without fogs

yeah i agree.....i mean i wouldnt ever run the LED's with the fog's on that would look pretty bad i think

[le91688]

it would look sick with hid fogs
