Sonar/Spyder AE Question

speedbird · 07-25-2015, 05:14 PM

Is it possible to change the AE LEDs on the sonar/Spyder headlights? Looks to me like they're permanently wired in. They look okay at night but completely invisible during the day. I wired them to the DRLs.

Thanks!!

Those look like theyre embedded in the rings itself. Maybe you could try stepping up the voltage with some coding?

You could, but you probably have to bake it and take everything apart

I figured as much. They still look nice though, I'll just leave it.

Do you like these better than the depos you had? Post more pics, please.

The light output is the same, it's just the AEs are nonexistent during the day
