JamesJaikissoon Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Nice!!!i think I will do the blackout mode too,so the side amber marker light won't show anymore? They painted the deflector and took out the bulb. Makes for a clean effect. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJaikissoon Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 curious why you say these don't run in drl mode when the site at diode dynamics say they do? It's weird. You need a harness thou, that's the problem. Look at the Wrx/STI CLights and it comes with a DRL Harness. We don't get that. Idk why.

andrew_l_s Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My plan for the DRLs is to tap into my fog as DRL harness, so these + my LED fogs run. You could just tap into accessory power for bright mode so they're always on when the car is on.

Axis Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Damn...James those lights came out so well. I am super jealous. Is there any more detail on the process of the painting? What parts did NOT get paint on them to make sure the look is correct and function of the lights is preserved...? What material did they use to paint the lenses...? Do you have any wide shots of the whole car? So many questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one he didn't paint is the high beam reflector bowl,u can pretty much use any paint,,but don't go cheap on it,i plan on using a high temp paint when I do mine.and no it shouldn't affect functions of lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger73 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Definitely go with a high temperature caliper/engine paint. I know of one person who used "regular" paint and the paint vaporized when heated by the lights and a thin film/mist settled on the inside of the lens. He had to pull the lights apart, strip the paint, clean the inside of the lenses, repaint everything and put back together again. Moral of the story: don't skimp on the paint!

HappySub Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hello everyone! I want to add under dash blue LED lights. The catch it I want them to dim with the factory blue door handle LEDS. What type of 12v dimmable LEDS would you suggest using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger73 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 There's 2 plastic tubes inside the OEM C-LEDs that are illuminated by 2 LEDs. Sounds like one of the LEDs has stopped working...

Diode Dynamics Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Then the whole light assembly won't work, like their S550 Mustang lights Not sure what you mean, we don't make full headlamps? If you mean the LED boards we make to go in the lamp, we have sold a few thousand sets over the past 2 years, and have experienced an extremely low failure rate, exceeding our internal quality standards. Any failure would not cause the whole lamp to stop functioning though... Are you possibly referring to the sequencer modules, for the S550 tail lamp? That is a completely different kind of product, and is not related to LEDs at all, it's power control. The Mustang has a complex fault sense system which disables power to the lamp in some circumstances when it doesn't see the exact data feedback needed for the tail lamp. Luckily for all Subaru owners, Subaru still uses simple electrical systems with physical relays, where you never run the risk of the vehicle just deciding to disable a whole lamp when it wants to! There is no circumstance in which a whole lamp would go out on your Subaru. In any case, we stand behind the function and reliability standards of all our products. Thanks! John C.

pnbnatiojnsbest Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I know of one person off the top of my head 16P51-GT but you guys got him to take the video about his sequencers and side markers.

The videos were all his idea, we didn't "Get him" or even ask him to do anything. Anyway, that's still a much different product than anything for the Legacy... not even an LED. Sorry for the OT guys.

RobbieGT Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It would be foolish to question the quality of Diode Dynamic's products. If you've ever received anything from them, as well as anything from their competition, it's easy to see that Diode Dynamics is leaps and bounds ahead of them, especially in terms of quality. That's the reason my car is completely decked out in Diode Dynamics lighting (Full interior, tail as turn kit, C-LED's, demon eyes, as well as quad reverse lights) I should have my review of the XP50/XP80 quad reverse lights up tonight / tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to work in the automotive aftermarket industry, and deal with DD on a wholesale level. I know them very well. The fact is that my comment was a joke. So calm down. I have had their parts on cars before as well as on SEMA builds that have won design awards. The facts are that as of late (past year or so) there has been a higher frequency of part failures or malfunctions. That is a pretty easy thing to find on any forum. Review what you like, what you say about the product is your right to free speech. What I said was not slanderous or lecherous so take a chill pill. Rant over.

My comment was merely saying that it would be ill advised to talk down about a company with such positive reviews across the board. I think it'd be best for you to reread my comment, involve yourself in some critical thinking, and then evaluate the fact that someone may be pissing in your cheerios when you get up to go find the milk.

The Grey Goose Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I got in some overlays from emblemoverlays.com today. Where's the pictures you ask? Well, I didn't realize that the front and rear emblems are different sizes. Just never crossed my mind, and at a glance, both overlays looked the same size. I start putting one on the rear only to notice it's too big. No big deal, they sent the wrong size and I'll just trim up the edges with a razor. Go to the front emblem, and realize the overlay is way too small for the front. Ended up ruining everything, and was pretty salty I just pissed away $22. I ordered another set from a different vendor so hopefully that goes smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
