DIY: iJDMTOY LED DRL Foglight Bezel Install

Here you go! It's my first DIY Video so go easy on my! I also kept calling the glovebox a toolbox for some reason. The total time on the install if you go through the firewall and make everything look pretty is about 2.5 hours if you take your time. If I were to do the install again I'd say it would take about half that. And I cant get the "auto stabilization thing" to go away

Oh and the inspiration/power routing idea came from @FR-Shadow

Oh yeah with the blue going to green wire of the high beam the LED Bezel will be low when the DRLs are on and high when the headlights are on

These DRL strips confuse me. Are they OEM or just fit perfectly? I went to the dealer and he said he thought they were OEM for 2014 as an option too.

From what people are saying they are a regional item. The set I got from ijdmtoy aren't OEM they just fit the bezel perfectly. The way they set up there is no switch or anything so they don't function like a fog light. They just look awesome Imo

Installed these yesterday and I do like.
There is an open slot in the fuse box with accessory power (near the wiper fuse if I remember correctly). A spade connector fits in nice and snug. Much easier than running into the cab for power.
I think (personal opinion) the LEDs are too bright at 100%. I will likely wire the blue wire to the same accessory power slot for 50% brightness all the time.

What amp fuse did you use in that accessory power fuse slot?

Kind of reviving this from the dead but how long was the install? I'll be likely doing it this way since going to the fuse box seems much easier than inside the cabin. Any problems since then? And I agree I would like the dim output throughout.

I see the picture but I'm a noob when it comes to electrical stuff, but could you tell me the actual fuses you use?

Thanks so much!

That is a blank spot for a fuse. Just use a spade connector to push in to that spot.

And no issues since original install. I autocross once a month and never had a problem.

Just received mines and no blue wire for dim option kind of bummed hopefully they send me a new set of wires. Must be the new version.
