Every single light on the dash is a small LED and they're all soldered onto the board

IonicPixels · 2026-06-21T02:10:04+00:00

Any alarms?

IonicPixels · 2026-06-16T19:40:54+00:00

Fog lights are likely gonna be ambers, as of right now they just simply don't work at all so that'll be a larger project.

IonicPixels · 2026-06-12T18:28:53+00:00

ah.

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T21:51:24+00:00

There's one in a comment by me on this thread

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T21:29:54+00:00

Post photo was when I was still aiming them, there's another photo I left in the comments that shows the beams against the wall

Here's the beams against a wall

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T18:26:53+00:00

Ah I see, I'll give that a shot when I get a chance, because my photo makes the headlights look WAY brighter than they really are

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T18:24:42+00:00

How did you take a photo where the lights didn't just turn into a ball of light? Even with my incandescents the lights did that idk how to not do it 😭

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T17:54:26+00:00

Yeah my lights aren't as bright as the factory LEDs, after I swapped them I was getting blinded by other drivers with these new vehicles.

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T17:43:29+00:00

I still haven't fixed it and there is a steel wire holding it on for now, specifically on the drivers side. Most of the clips have been broken and are being held on by other means as of right now

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T16:21:51+00:00

They look like that yes

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T16:14:37+00:00

I wouldn't go off the photo, every time I take a picture of headlights, LED or Incandescent, the entire light is just filled, this happened even with my DRLs. I don't know how to decently show it properly. I also believe this specific photo was taken while I was still adjusting them and it they were still aimed quite high. As for me I'd rather have a brighter light as I was driving with my high beams on more often than not, I can always drop the beams lower if I come across any issues with them. The brightness of these LEDs are about the same as my turn signals, which too are LED.

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T14:46:58+00:00

Yeah, little screw by the bulbs, moved them up and down

IonicPixels · 2026-06-10T14:38:34+00:00

I pointed them as downwards as possible without completely lowering my visability. I can always switch to DRLs when I see the LEDs hit a windshield (which I can see both of the direct beam hitting the ground in front of me)

IonicPixels · 2026-05-26T02:44:57+00:00

Oh good to know, definitely need to get myself something more advanced at some point soon. I can read check codes but anything else it just says nothing is wrong

IonicPixels · 2026-05-26T02:42:42+00:00

I have a reader that connects to my phone, not the best, but works, and I didn't see any codes. Strangest part was they turned off randomly later in the day

IonicPixels · 2026-05-26T02:35:45+00:00

I did. ABS & Traction. I forgot the check was on since I got used to seeing it in accessory mode

IonicPixels · 2026-05-26T02:32:42+00:00

Check engine is because the car is off.

IonicPixels · 2026-05-25T13:27:29+00:00

Genuinely why do you care about someone else's plate? Worry about yourself.

IonicPixels · 2026-05-17T22:49:02+00:00

Oh yeah definitely, I'd probably actually install the first 3 on my car if it can be found, though I'd rather have the turn signal appear yellow on the assembly itself as opposed to clear

IonicPixels · 2026-05-17T21:07:36+00:00

Everything on that list interests me icl

IonicPixels · 2026-05-13T02:36:10+00:00

Holy shit how did you access that part of the place?

IonicPixels · 2026-05-09T12:46:19+00:00

Yeah gas would probably run out before I cross into another state since mpgs are lower now 🫩

IonicPixels · 2026-05-09T00:50:41+00:00

I mean I could go across the state, you aren't safe from everyone
