led hood lights
led hood lights
I was told when I purchased these lights that I could wire them to my corners. I was looking fro anyone who has done this and knows what wires to splice and use, because the instructions are in Japenese. By the way the lights start with two wires then there is some heat shrink and three wires come out a red, black and white. I know that 99% of the time red is + and black is -. Could someone give me some more input on my situation?

a) another black wire, or
b) the negative treminal on your battery, or
c) your frame or any piece of metal attached to it.[*]Turn 'em on![/list=1]
A side note: Unless the cops where you live are blind, you will get busted for having these. I have been pulled over twice for the blue ones, and once for the "white" ones which seem to still have a slight blue tint.

blakkrob, may I ask you what is the purpose of those led hood lights? Do they make your car look better or increase your HP? Please enlighten me.

I have green led washer lights on my Max.. I like them a lot, plus it helps for when I'm driving in the fog, people can see them better.

You're funny. The big difference is that my seats ARE NOT illegal and I don't get tickets for them. Have you heard of fog lights?

There isn't a law about having lights on your hood, it just depends what color you put. My green ones, for example, are not illegal.

Lights on your hood, roof trunk or underbody are illegal. Thay cannot be turned on while you are driving on the street. They are intended for off road or show use only. Doesn't matter what color they are. There illegal.
Blue ones will get you in lots of trouble. They can get you for impersonating an officer with blue lights. Thats big time trouble.

Call them what you will, the purpose of these lights is to attract attention. Even with clear corners and tails, the Maxima looks like just another four door family sedan. I used to go out looking for people to race, and no one would ever take me seriously (unless I went hauling past them doing 90+), because my car looked so plain and the majority of Maxima owners (at least around here) are age 45+ and wouldn't dream of driving over the speed limit. The night I put on my blue LEDs, I went out on the same road I always went to, and was challenged three times in half an hour. And the "ricey" altezzas I saved up for increased the effect. Rice on a Maxima is just a way of visually separating us from every other family sedan out there.
This depends on where you live. Here in Washington, there is no law that forbids the use of lights on any part of the car as long as they are not a color that is explicitly forbidden or of an intensity greater than three-hundred candlepower.

I have LED washer nozzles. And I have them in hyperwhite. But I also wired them up to my turn signals so they are only turn blink whichever side I signal. I also have them to a switch so I can turn them off during the day.
I only use them in rainy weather or dark nights or if I want to race a ricer.
So my LED washer nozzles aren't rice because they have a function... and I haven't gotten in trouble for them yet.

i just got canned on wed night on jericho tpke in L.I for my blue led hoodlights. I don't see why they fuss over it so much, all these damn beammers and audis ..... all have there bright blue HID headlights, why dont they pull them ****ers over and write them a ticket.
I am gonna see what the judge has to say about it, prolly double the fine for being smartass and sarcastic.

I wired the negative wires together and then to a switch since the postive wires to go the blinkers.

I have them. I cut all the wires though. The chrome washer things match my GXE chrome accents very well.

I didnt even cut the wires...I just unplugged the corner lamp and shoved in the wire into the plug and plugged it back in.....And not everyone thinks they look ricey...the look nice on a white car.....but i just got 6 tickets ($50 each) for those and my turn signals, corner lamps.........

There you go, hurting my feelings Clee. Hehehe, you have a beige car, chrome would look silly on your hood. But when you have those stupid chrome accents coming out of everything on my black car, it actually matches pretty well.
Paint them black.

Yo, my friend had these blue lights on the hood of his black 97 maxima SE (without leather but wit sunroof) and he got pulled over a couple of times for it...i think they look hot but only on darker colors...I wouldn't waste my time getting it on a champagne car, well, i would have to get some champagne lights, but not somethign i'm really interested in at the moment...
i think you guys are wrong about some stuff
i am fighting a blue ticket law so i have been doing research. From what i have found RED is the only color you cannot have on your car. if its a flashing light, then it cannot be red, white or blue. Of the people who have been given tickets, what color were your lights? also, who said that you cannot have lights on your hood, under or somtehting else. not arguing this, just looking for where this information came from so i can have more for my court case.
