LEADTOPSFlexible LED Strip 2 Pcs 24 Inch Dual Color Headlight Surface Tube White & Amber Daytime Running Waterproof Switchback Sequential Lamp Turn Signal

I ordered these to upgrade the current LED setup I already had in my headlights. Very nice and bright lights. The driver looks like it is nicely done circuit board. The LED strip itself is nice quality too. I read Eli's review and it's a bit over the top on criticism. First off yes the lights have a delay between switchback. The amber is fast but slow back to white. That is not a uncommon situation when you are using capacitors to make the delay. And really it is hard to properly judge the exact amount of microfarad you would need to work unless every strip was the same length and the same voltage on all vehicles. Yes the driver is not sealed very well. Just seal it with some hot glue and be aware of where you will mount it. I stuffed mine inside the headlight housing after sealing it. I didn't care for the sequence feature so I did rewire the output side of the driver so they will just flash. If you look at the board you can see they have multiple wires outputting for amber, one for white, and one ground. Just cut amber positive wires except for one. Then join all amber positive wires to the one positive wire for amber. Now you don't have sequence. It's that simple. I have only ren them for a couple days consistently so time will tell how they tolerate weather and such. I am very impressed for the price

Pretty cool product actually. The adhesive is very strong so make sure you have the Led Strip lined up before you touch it to the mounting surface. My only complaint is of the end caps, they are wider than the strip and kind of stand out. The lights themselves are easy to install if you have the proper tools and T splices. In my case I also needed more wire and butt connectors because of where I installed them. I’m assuming the inline power box is water proof but I installed it somewhere protected from water just in case. Depending on your know-how and access to you car’s wiring, install should take approximately 1 hour, but if your car’s wiring is difficult to figure out and requires the fender liners, front bumper and headlight assemblies to be removed to access it, like mine did, then you might be looking at a significantly longer installation time. The LEDs are reasonably bright, but not as bright as OEM led strips on cars like Audi’s etc...but can still be seen in the daylight. The Strips themselves are pretty inconspicuous and are not easily noticeable when the LEDs aren’t on.

The media could not be loaded. Update: So its been just under a year ive had these &the lights were great when i got them then 10months in a few leds went out on 1strip then month later the DRL function stoped working &it continued to blink like i had a turn signal on or both would blink like had hazards on so people thought i had my hazards on &i got pulled over &i explained the issue &luckily only got a warning. So of corse i unplugged the lights. So keep an eye on your lights. But realisticly for 20$ im surprised they lasted a year in Massachusetts. Might just get another set cause they did look good. Lol.These lights are great! Pretty easy to install if you've ever wired anything or don't any car stuff. They are decently bright even during the day &much easier to see me even in low light &fog! I love having DTRL DayTime Running Lights but my favorite part is the sequential turn signals I now have! The only down side is the wires are really thin &you don't get much length but I made them work &liked them so much I got some for my rear lights.

The media could not be loaded. I loved it, they work properly and make my car look great.

So if you are looking for something that will tight arches or circles, or something that will bend around a corner you will most likely want to look for the newer strips made of silicone.I was actually able to install these were I wanted them but on one side the top 3 or 4 LED's quit working within 24 hours.Also within 24 hours the adhesive gave out but not from the car, it came loose from the back of the PVC tubing!

Overall these are ok, but have big drawbacks.Pros:-VERY bright, even in daylight. Hurts a little to look at directly.-good color temperature, not too blue-sequential is nice I guess-thin and easy in install. I took my housing apart but it is not needed, you can slap them on top/bottom. I just wanted a more custom look.Cons:-returning from amber LEDs to white is VERY LAGGY! Takes about 2 seconds, most other kits take 1 second and OEM is nearly instant. Super annoying. I took my unit apart trying to fix it but the microcontroller inside is unmarked and I just ending up cutting it out to replace with my own.-non changeable sequential direction. It goes from the controller to the end of the strip, and there's no way to change it. The sequencr doesn't point the way the car is turning and is disorienting.-the LEDs strips are DIRECTIONAL. VERY IMPORTANT. One side of the tube has a thicker silicone end that diffuses the light excellently. It makes them easy to install wrong though and look like crap backwards. The tubes could easily be made to be thick on both sides.-the tube is presealed. That means even though you can cut the strip, you aren't provided with any new end caps to reseal it. Also the sealant they use is white and not transparent, and it's pretty crappily sealed anyways. Just let me do it myself.-the led driver is not fully waterproofed. Both of my units only had silicone on one side of the board, leaving half the components to the elements. Neither of the wire plug holes or enclosure edges were sealed either, and I suspect this is why so many fail. Seal it yourself to extend LED life, especially if you live in a wet area.-wire is SUPER thin, like breath on it wrong and it'll probably tear. It has like 6-8 strands inside and it's definitely sketchy. Considering this stuff in is the engine bay there was no reason to skimp on the wire size, absolutely ridiculous.-adhesive sucks and is difficult to remove to.put your own on. Whatever, again could have been avoided by just letting us do it but noooooo.Ultimately, these LEDs are so nice it's worth it in my opinion to just get a different controller and rewire them. But obviously that's a lot more work and money, so it's not for everybody.
