Hi, can anyone help? purchased 6 pot LED lights from the Z centre the wiring instructions arnt very clear, or maybe im fik! Has anyone got experience in wiring these up. Which wires go where? Many thanks,

Not really a hard job mate. You will have to decide which lights are going to be used for what firstly. ie. Outer LED's as running lights or break lights? then which middle section will be used as indicators and/or break lights? Once this is established then each light will have to be spliced into the original wires. I have the 4 pot LED's and havent yet decided what will be what yet. But I think I will have the LED's as running lights. I must add tho that the LED's may prove to be too bright? Alternativaly the inside middle as an indicator and the outside as running lights leaving the LED's as break lights.

Lets say you decide to have all the LED's as running lights. each wire from the units will need to be extended and joined together and then just spliced onto the existing side light wires. the rest is done in the same manner but obviously to the corrisponding circuit. If you get stuck PM me and I will send you a schematic to wire it to.

Hi guys, Thanks for your advice and offer of help, installed lights yesterday. I opted for the outer ring as rear lights and the centre as stop lights as they both seemed the same intensity, i also had to bend original mounting brackets out the way and cut out the centre mounting bracket. But well worth the effort. Many thanks once again.

Although i might also add, since installing the LED's the lights warning light on the dash is perminantly illuminated when the lights are on, not sure if this is common when these lights are fitted or i've done something wrong?

I also bought some of these lights from Luke but found the outer ring of LED,s too bright to be used as running lights, what I did was put a 100ohm resistor in line to each bank of lights. This dimmed them enough to allow them to be used as running lights. As for the warning light on your dash this is because of the LED,s taking less currant, on my car this didn't work so no warning light came up.

Thanks to dpm for advice where would i get 100ohm resisters can i get them from car accessory shop or specialist electrical shop?

try your local Maplins mate....

yer thanks tony had idea that might be the answer, thanks again

went to maplins to get 100 ohm resisters to dim the LED lights guy asked me for what wattage do i want resisters for? Arrr problem, i dont know i said so came out empty handed. Anyone have an idea of the wattage of the LED's? Thanks

Sorry mate cant help there , the electronics men at work ordered mine, when I next see them I will ask for you.

Ok thanks very much, much appreciated

carl i have the 6 pot venom's, so if you want to check mine out, i live in harold hill mate.you can call me on 07981422110 if you want to pop round.

Just get a fairly big resistor and it will do fine. You can't get one too big. Even a 17 watt one is only 60p. Use one each side.
