LED's on my S4!

[Chuvips]

I've always loved cars with leds. And wanted to install some kind of this staff on my car. I didn't want any chavvy tuning optics - I wanted just my standart optics with LEDs inside. And my dream came true:s4Addict: - I ordered from US internet shop LEDs for all my rear lights and front turning lights. They are standart - you can just put them inside your car instead of flament bulbs. But that was not enough for me! I decided to delete the rear foglamps and one of parking ligts and connected all three lamps to one - stop+parking. That means that all three lamps work as parking lights and while breaking all three get brighter. It was rather hard to do - I've put some photos of how-to-do and the results of my work with comments below. Sorry for low quality of some photos!

That's how LED bulb looks:

One more problem I had - in front turning lights polarity was vice-versa (I wonder why) - no difference for flament bulb, but LED doesn't work! I had to open the headlamps, cut wires and solder it again, inversally.

Self-made connections in rear lamps:

How all the LED's look:

The computer didn't protest against LED's, despite their 4 times less consumption. But I still needed the load resistors because I deleted some connections.

They are very easy to install:

Hey, guys, I'd like to hear your opinion! Please feel free to comment!

[Charles DLF]

good job, but do you have any pics with the head lights on?? Any before after shots?...

Great job!

[Chuvips]

Yes... No before after shots just because lack of time while making, you know, like you want to do it all sooner and see the results, don't want to wait anymore... And my brother with good camera came only when it was all ready..
But I agree I should have done some!!!
Why do you want to see the photos with head lights on? No changes have occured to them besides the turn signals!

[Chuvips]

Well, I've found an old photo with filament bulbs.
You can see that it's a kind of "orange" comparing with LED. Also that for parking light only 2 sections work and for break light - only one. Now, as you've seen in photo with LEDs all three work and they are very "red"!

This is something I might have looked at doing at some point in the future had I kept my S4. God, I miss that car! :cry:

Looks great!

Thanks:)
If anyone is interested, I bought LEDs on www.v-leds.com and I'm absolutely pleased with their services. All together cost me around 250$ (including 40$ for delivery).
