Diy R34 Custom Led Indicators

[Dimi34gtt]

Hey guy so I've got a 34 and I wanted to go for a bit more of a modern look I've got the clear Nismo indicators plus my standard amber ones. Any way 1 night I got bored and got my old amber indicators out I had some amber led strips that I brought from eBay so I'll be posting a step by step on how to do this as soon as I get the pictures from my old I phone ( that's if any one wants to do it ) but here is the end result .

Would be awesome if you could post a pic of the entire car with them on, just to get the full visual of the effect.

Otherwise awesome job.

Ok guys I'm going to post this in the DIY section but I'll post it here for you guys first

Items you will need :

carbon fiber wrap (eBay stuff is fine)

drill with small drill bit

Scissors / hobby knife

Double sided tape ($3.00 eBay)

Clear amber Led strip ($6.00 eBay)

X2 Led decoder ($7.00 eBay)

Step 1

remove your old indicators you can do this with a flat head screwdriver make sure you wrap it in a cloth so you don't damage the paint.

Step 2

Cover the indicator with carbon fiber wrap or you can just spray the black if you don't want to use cf wrap.

Step 3

Next drill a small hole in middle on any side (be carful as they do tend to crack)

Step 4

Once that is done get the led indicators and feed the wires through the hole.

Step 5

Once the wires are through apply the double sided tape to the led strips or strip depending on what you go for. Once there tape is on stick them down how you want.

Step 6

Now comes the part that you decide. You can either put the wires into the existing globe socket and put your existing globe in there this will stop the hyper flashing once that's done you can plug them in and away you go. If you want to go down the other path read step 7.

Step 7

If you want things 100% safe the steps are similar.

Take the lens off your indicators you can do this by melting the glue around the sides I put mine in the oven on 70 for 6-7 minuets (don't quote me use the forums I'm sure they have a better way)

Once that's done wrap the lens in carbon fiber and drill the hole in the lens

Put the wires through the hole and the connect the wires to the led decoder (solder them better connection)

You will need to have the led decoder sitting the the indicators itself there is plenty of room for it. Make sure the t20 globe adaptor is hanging out the other side where you plug the light in.

Once that's done test it. You don't want to glue it then have to un glue it!. Once you have tested it glue the lens back on some cilicone or gasket sealer should do the job leave to dry over night the it's a simple plug and play.
