They do not use SWITCHED 12V, they sense voltage CHANGES at battery terminals, Alternator spinning higher volts, and not spin battery voltages is around 12.4 versus around 13.6 on alternator spinning, brilliant stuff.

cengeb says:

yup, brilliant designing, from Philips. The tiny control module for teh 4 LED fits anywhere, it’s water tight heat resistant meant for under hood environment. Good product.

cengeb says:

The 12V sense doesn’t draw current it’s just a sense line. AND the Philips stuff is LEGAL FMVSS108 compliant, and fully DOT labeled, unlike swag junk from others. Osram also makes good stuff. Extremely bright, good color, good optics, very noticeable as it’s purpose DRL.

cengeb says:

Around 5000K, they are Philips Lumileds, the best LED made. the 4 LED is like $79 Amazon with everything ya need to install, I used 3M tape molding outdoor super stick stuff 3M also on Amazon

cengeb says:

It’s not hooked to any SWITCHED 12V supply, it’s brilliant, why would I want to hunt around for something inside for a switched 12V supply, it all stays under the hood, where it belongs, Brilliant design. Philips perfection, the lights are BRIGHT and optics terrific. Stand out as DRL much better than halogen 15W on GTI H15 Osram lamp (special only on VW Golf) dual fil high beam lamp 15/65

cengeb says:

Actually it’s ingenious design, why is it stupid. they have a control module with all electronic ckts. The 8 LED operates how then, no control module with it? Osram stuff also has module. If the lites are always connected to battery terminals then how is it switching on or off after I start car? It’s still only connected to battery, and then it turns off by turning key off and it still is only connected to battery which only changes voltage levels between alternator spinning and not,

IIGrayfoxII says:

If that is the case it is a pretty stupid design.

cengeb says:

The instructions with LED 4 have it wired to battery always hot. 3rd wire sense for headlight ckt on or off. But it turns off when key is OFF, even though always connected to battery hot always! It has to use voltage changes into controller module at battery terminals between alternator volts 13.5 or static battery 12.4 There is no other connections. Slick stuff work great Great color and brightness well made product from Philips

cengeb says:

The 4LED unit has 3 wires. Two are always connected to the battery live 12V all teh time (13.5V) the third is a sense wire hooked to my CITY lite wire on GTI, which are on only when headlights are on also. Thus it is sensing voltage changes from 12V signal of city lamp. But they are turned OFF when I turn off key, even if on when no headlights on. There are no relays but a control module that came with it. It has to use voltage changes between car running which is around 13.5V versus engine

IIGrayfoxII says:

They are connected to a +12v switched ignition source like a ciglighter.
These get powered when the key is in POS II

They do not use any real switching based on voltage.
They dim or turn off with a relay and PWM when your lowbeams are on.

IIGrayfoxII says:

I’d use the DRLs as a parking light replacement like audi are now doing.

XMSMLL says:

I think they would look cool anywhere… they don’t shake at all… maybe offroading…

c0uchsl0uch says:

I think these lights would work nicely on the ssd light bar, as that already has a designated mounting spot, no measureing and the lights wont shake

cengeb says:

It must sense voltage changes when car is running and not 13.9v versus 12.6v when car not running! Cus it knows to turn off LED no switch connections, headlight sense just turn off when headlights turn on (city light wire I used ) these are high quality stuff! brilliant crisp color, BRIGHT!

cengeb says:

Amazon has best price got the 4 LED model, work GREAT! How it knows to turn on and off in daytime with just always being hooked to battery! Slick engineering. Solid glass metal led. I used 3M moulding tape to mount brackets, no screws. 3M tape is super strong OUTDOOR really sticky stuff. 3M makes different versions of the tape. Car moulding type etc. the ehadlight sense is just for turning them off when headlights turn on. so how does itk now to turn off when I turn key off? it’s senses?

love your car especialy ANDROID 🙂

Michael Junior Garcia says:

are those 6000k or 8000k ?

nadil832 says:

hahaha thats a good one XMSMLL nice lights and car;-)

XMSMLL says:

No actually it is supposed to hook up to the low beam wire for the dimming as per the instructions…

XMSMLL says:

Too funny… they are cool lights… we can agree on that…

LegSpreader1 says:

Well explain video though. I’m going to purchase these led daylight lights

LegSpreader1 says:

LOL Funny. And yes I do own a civic, a 2013 Honda civic si. LOL and with the whole gay thing you can probably pick up more gay guys in that shitty ass KIA of yours.

XMSMLL says:

Do you have the 4 or 8 led version…? The 4 led version only turns off and the 8 led version dims….

murdamechanik says:

Looks good, I just finished my 2008 highlander a few minutes ago. How did you get yours to dim instead of turn off when you turn on your headlights?
