Lithium

Hi Lithium,

I don't know if you're still active on this forum, but I'm trying my luck. I can't find 6A - 50V diodes as suggested in your post (How to turn BRZ Headlight LED into DRL).

I would like to know what Amperage and what voltage can I use?
I found diodes 5A - 60V Is this correct?

Thank you for your help.

Hey Lithium,
Saw you had a project that Diode Dynamics took over. Have some questions about that whole process since I'm in a similar boat. Shoot me a message when you have a chance. Thanks!

Hey Lithium, I was hoping you could help me out with an electrical issue I'm having with my brz headlights. I have an FR-S and followed this guide on how to repin the brz headlights into the FR-S' 6 pin connector:

After the install the headlights worked flawlessly except that the passenger side LED strip/boomerang doesn't turn on. However the drivers side LED strip turns on with the DRL and Headlights On function from the control stalk. I double checked all pin connections and made sure I was getting power coming from my FR-S' harness connector using a multi meter and it checked out fine.

Could it possibly be something wrong inside the headlight? I'm thinking about taking the car to a shop to get it diagnosed further but was wondering if there was a solution to fix it myself first. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Im on a plane at the moment but I will be getting home later today and will help you out. Like 7pm mountain time. Hang in there.

4) So I finally ended up with the one I have on now
- Cathode side going to DRL
- Anode side going Boomerang and Harness
- Result (Auto; Daytime): DRLs but no Boomerangs :/
- Result (Auto; Nighttime): DRLs, Boomerangs, HL

I'm very confused why #1 shouldn't work; even if I only worked on one side of the car (the driver side), it should still work on that one side. I really hope I'm wrong though and that two diodes are needed (left and right side) for this mod to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated guys. Also I have not worked on the passenger side yet, but the DRLs seem to work well on Both sides of the car, staying on all the time day and night. (just to note that again)

Hi Lithium, I posted this on the thread and I just wanted to ask you personally if you have a solution to this problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again

1) @TallTerror13 what you say is true and that is exactly what I did originally
- Cathode side going to DRL and Boomerang
- Anode side going to the Harness
- Result (Auto; Daytime): No DRLs and No Boomerangs

2) So I tried it without the diode and connected it directly to see
- Result (Auto; Daytime): Everything turned on; DRLs, Boomerangs, and HL

3) So then I decided to switch the wiring around to see if it works then
- Cathode side going to the Boomerang and Harness
- Anode side going to DRL
- Result (Auto; Daytime): Same as stock; just Boomerangs
