DIY: LED Halo w/Video's

Ya, I'm not sure what they are getting at either now... wiring or mounting? Either way, the things don't light up, they reflect; unless you buy the replacment led models.

Now that is the zoomerangs/boomerangs swapped out with led versions. Not bad; there are switch back versions too.

Though i still don't get what is ment by connecting them to the levelers unless the Z has mechanical levelers in the newer models, because im pretty sure the earlier models don't have them, at least I don't remember mine with them.

Yes, the zoomerangs and halos are all switchback. I'm not sure either about the leveler.

My 2010 Ford Focus RS had automatic headlight levellers and you could see them working when the headlights came on but on my 2017 370Z the headlights just turn on - No levelling.

Where did you guys put all the drivers/modules? What would be your approach to protect them from water?

That's about where I put them. I wrapped it in plastic and taped the ends to at try and prevent direct water contact. Grounded on the horn mount too.

Same here. Have the same intake so taped the drivers together on each side and zipped them up and out of the way to the main bracket.

OK noob question here... I apologize if it was already answered.

The halo does not replace the headlight, correct? From my understanding it acts as a DRL and is wired similarly to the stock DRLs? I'm assuming there are muliple ways of wiring the halo.

Trawled this thread and can't seem to find the answer to this question, I perhaps missed it.

How are the projector lens' fixed to the turn signal enclosure after cutting off the front bit of the turn signal? from the pictures I gather its held on from the rear of the enclosure. Is that correct? And then possibly glued down from the rear?

It doesn't/wouldn't replace the HID headlights. No
There would be multiple ways of wiring the halos from my understanding. You could wire them to act as DRL's to turn on on ignition or you could wire them to turn on with your park lights or you could wire them to turn on with your headlights.
