I just purchased the ijdmtoy flexible LEDs like the others on here and the led has two wires coming out of it... but I am not sure which wire to connect to the splice and the green wire (parking light). There is no instructions on this install. Is one wire for power and the other for ground? The wires are red or black either which makes it difficult to know like on the greddy's. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

iJDMToy LED Strips: Audi A5 R8 Style LED Strip Lights | LED Headlights | LED Driving Lights

V-Leds Parking Lights: 6K WHITE 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 194 2825 | 1 PAIR

Blade can you provide some insight here?! (Or anyone that has done this install with the ijdmtoy LEDS (not greddy!) I would really really appreciate it!

OK so I just tried installing the ijdmtoy Audi A5 R8 Style LED Strip Lights last night... Either both LED strips are bad (doubtful) or I suck (probably true.)

So I tapped into the green parking light like most people on the forum said to do. I did this by pulling out the parking light bulb, removing the electrical tape to expose the green wire, then I stripped the green wire a little and then I wrapped the (red looking) wire from the LED strip to the exposed green wire and then I wrapped the dark (grayish) looking wire to a ground or bolt. I turned on the lights and nothing! :confused:

I'm confused about the two wires. Are they both for power? Is one for ground and the other for power? Which wire is which based on color?!

Please help! lol it's driving me nuts. :)

Those don't look bad. Like 'em better than the 2013 DRL's.

I will check with my installer. Yeh...I remember they were confusing. Just PM'd him to see if he remembered.

All credit goes to all those here on the Forum before me...

But if I recall correctly, I used a simple 9v battery to test the leads prior to installation to correctly mark which was POS & NEG. You've probably just got them switched around.

Also, the LED parking lights will install 2 different ways, but they also have only one correct fitment. If they don't light, then rotate the bulb 180* and re-install.

Oh....btw...here is a link to my thread with all the part numbers and vendors to purchase ALL of your LED needs.

Thanks guys I'll try it again tonight.... Maybe I had the wires switched around.

For anyone else that has this issue.. Looks like I had the wires switched around... I should have tested the lights on a 9v battery in the first place!! :facepalm:

Turns out the reddish looking wire is actual the neg and the darker grayish looking wire is the pos...

I then tapped the green parking light with the pos and mounted the neg to a near by bolt for ground.

Will post pics later. Thanks everyone!

Quickie install just slid under headlamp and wire it to a 9v, just to see the look.

This is the ijdm product in blue leds. Its funny but the groupings of three isn't as visible outside but really can be seen in the pic.

They look like the Xenon white, what sku # is on the package?. Looks good :tup: Are you considering replacing the other bulbs on the car with LED's?

SKU: LED_AUDI_STYLE_STRIP_SKU59
They are the Blue lights. It is so hard to tell, lighting just doesnt display well in pics.

I probably will slowly, I would love to change all the orange inside to blue but that is kinda outta my league (not a big electrical guy).

I will have to check my invoice, thought I ordered the white.

Me neither, but think the orange dash lights and pods would look good in blue, that is for the silver cars.

ugh, I took my LED string to work (I work at a car battery manufacturer) to see if the 12V would brighten it up more and I managed to snap one of the wires. grrrrrr.....:shakes head:

BTW it did look brighter.

Noice, would like to see a pic once you get it replaced. At 17.00 I purchased 2 backups.

A guy at work is gonna lend me a soldering kit, so hopefully I can fix it. I really hope it works I can't wait to get these things on the car.

Need some wiring helpwith this

I reattached wiring harness and turn on the parking light and I get nothing out of the LED. The parking light works fine. Anyone have a guess?

I Had a similar problem with mine... just make sure you are tapping unto the right wire.

is there anyway you can make the led strips flash with signal lights?

Some have the strips that blink both white & yellow. The yellow portion blinks with the turn signal!
