i have tried, no one in wa are willing (risking) to open up the headlights to install these in. maybe someone in your state is willing to? if not then there are 2 options

1. get the smd strips instead and install them along the outside of the parkers

2. give cincity in the U.S a call they have a few mods for the G35 headlights but bare in mind they are expensive for a set ($1k+ usd)

also it is very hard to get your hands on one of the actual LED that the Audi uses as the ones on ebay are NOWHERE as bright as the real ones. even if they say for daytime use it actually isnt as bright. i manage to get a set that is very simialr when i was on holiday in malaysia aus was $320.

Has anyone converted their front parking lights to the Audi type LED strips; or can you direct me to some more info on how it can be done?

Why not hit up your local Jaycar Electronics, i used to work there and they had LED strips and SMD Strips. When i was there they had

one which was on a ribbon, and the other was on a hard plastic. Maybe now they have something in-between.

Oh and yes they are 12v, but NOT pre wired. but no biggie running two wires from the ports provided.

Yeah, you can get waterproof LED strips from lots of places. I believe some are automotive oriented, so they're bright enough.

An acquaintance as a Civic with them, and he works for Strathfield Car Radio. It looks really good.

Guys all those links above with the leds i can assure that none of them are bright enough for daytime use. i have tried...bought 6 or so types SMD, angel eyes led including the one above wit Flyingel link they are NOT bright enough for daytime use.

if you want bright and original daytime LED like the audi ones expect to pay $200+ each.

or you can get away with these...

even they are not bright enough for my car during the day.

if you guys check the v35 cruise in wa i have a pic there that has these on my car.

havnt had a problem with them yet roy. as far as im concern as long as they are white and not blinking (runs on stable) then they should be fine. im changing mine next week with better ones (as these ahave a tinge of blue in them) together with hids i just bought.

ill post up pics once its done or ill see you at the rd3 wa v cruise.

Iv got 8000k on mine and have not had any complaints or people flash me, i reckon 6000k should be fine. Odawise jus go 4 da factory HId ones.They round 4300k i think.

The led strips I purchased from the US are good but not bright enough for daytime use in the strip parking lights. Has anyone replaced the 5W parking globes with high intensity LEDs so that the strip lights up during daytime driving?

    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.  
    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
