One very subtle but nice way to be different from the masses.

My next goal is to replace the original blinker bulbs with some nice bright LEDs and wire that to the brake only output. That way you get the rings to blink while on the brakes, but the inner lights stay lit so other drivers can really tell that you are on the brakes.

Again, Thanks Andy! Great Job man!
post a video once you have done that ! I wanna see how it looks !

In order to achieve this you would need to cut the tail light open and re wire the leds.

If ever you have the instruction on how to re-wire the led shot it to me, my neighbor and I may try to attempt it, were on a roll lol.

Thank you very much for the kit even my neighbor love it. I posted 2 video on you tube the quality may be bad sorry took it from Iphone5s, so what we did we utilize the inner circle too, but one day I may play with it again lol.

But god damn it is bright, cant wait to drive the other infiniti haha.




Once again thank you very much

Actually looks really good with the factory turn signal! Like it lights up and fades away. Very nice! Glad you like it!

I decided against using the turn signal bulb for brake or turn signal (along with the rings) because it is bright and appears to drown out the rings blinking. There's only one thing I hate about this mod.... the fact that I never get to see it!!!

It is true, it does appears to drown out the ring too but like I said I may just change it in a couple of month lol, just have to remove the parking brake wire
There's only one thing I hate about this mod.... the fact that I never get to see it!!! (I second that)
At least other ppl will and let us know how good it looks

I wanna see what happens when you step on the brakes and have a turn signal on... what I wanna do eventually is to be able to use the stock turn signal as a brake light along with the rings while one side or the other has the rings flashing (when signaling) anyone?

You can do this by tagging the turn wire from the tail to the brake wire going into the box. Only thing is, the factory turn bulb (now used as brake light) will come on, on both sides while the turn signal (rings) flashes

I will do a video for you later when I get back from work around 1030 tonight
**** it ran outside and ask the neighbor outside to help lol

Hey buGfresh, I keep getting the check engine soon light code P0603 but I double check the battery connection, the ground where the blue wire is, gas tank cover and they all seems to be good, anyone?
before I call the dealership and make an appointment lol.

Which is exactly something I don't want... What I'm looking for is to use that factory turn bulb as brake light and brake light only together with rings but when there is turn signal flashing I would want the "factory turn bulbs" to stay lit together with rings when applying brake and when using turn signal I'd want ONLY rings to flash independently, get it now? I know its hard to explain

P0603 is memory loss basically. Happens from disconnecting the battery, make sure connections are good and go get the code reset

When you say connection are you refering too battery cable, ground wire, and also all the connections I did, slicing wires I that case yes all done.
Btw can I reset with the OBD2 scanner or I have to bring it in? Need to do it by do this by tomorrow, I have a wedding

Ok here's one problem, last night when I got home I check the light and when I put the light on auto seems like the inner circle was working and not the outer circle.


If I'm right it may be the day time running light interfering,would that be possible?
I made this video during the day and everything seems to be fine
We tried the light on off, auto, parking light and all
