Can you intall the LED's right into your exsisting base mounts or do you have to re-wire them to install new LED's?

You have to re-wire. A balast is not used. 120v AC is wired directly to the LED tube. Check the tube as to where to connect the AC. You can also remove the base mounts and mount them on a fixture of your on design as they do not require a reflecdtor. They are directional.

Yes you have to rewire. Basically you are taking out the starter/ballast. This of course makes the fixtures unusable with traditional tubes without rewiring. Truth in advertising I sent my light back because of this need to rewire. Hope this helps. The rewire isn't complicated to do I just didn't want to do it.

You must remove the ballast and wire the hot and neutral directly to one of the sockets. The other end gets the wires removed.

You must rewire your fixture to use LED lamps in place of fluorescent lamps. If you're handy with electrical installations, this is a pretty simple task. You remove the existing ballasts and run 120v directly to the end or ends of the LEDs. The quick connect fittings in my old fluorescent fixtures made this especially easy since the 'tombstones' which provide mounting and power for the lamps had quick connect fittings. Note that the lamps I received required the hot (black) wire to one end and the neutral (white) wire to the other end of each lamp. I was able to do this easily using existing wires in my fixture with a wire cutter/stripper. I'm VERY happy with the results and would certainly do it again. You don't have to physically remove the ballasts but I did and recycled them

You have to remove the electric ballast from the hardware.(cut the wires and remove from unit) Also, the electrical wires from one end of the led's are not needed anymore.

no you have to rewire them & i havent installed them yet because i cant figure out how

Hmm I have the same ones and they work perfect for me. It sounds like you may want to try to get your waranteed. When all the led's are lit these are super bright.

I did. The new lights kind of mount crooked in the OEM mounts. They fit straight in the new ones.

Yes, the LED's are under the power and reset buttons. Expanding the front view photo you can see them. It has all the hardware for mounting the MB.

there are plugs that go where your old headlights went but that goes into like a ballast box and then there are plugs from that the go to the bulbs that slide in the same place your original bulbs did. Look on ddmtuning.com they are cheaper and better quality

Those are your hot leds an you ground what ever you are powering to the body of the vehicle! You can use existing screws, bolts ext.

Anywhere u want. They are sealed except where the two wires exit. Glue or silicone that spot on lamp assembly. Mount by drilling holes where the back portion of light is. Mount after u add the wire for length.Black to common groung. Red to battery positive, when ign. Key is on. Find the positive under hood area.Leds are Very small power drain. Will noy affect any other componets.Good luck.I have used four on different instalations. Last well. Very inexpensice for zdded safty benifit.

They are great for reverse mounting. they are designed to project light out and will do a great job. actually LED'S may prefer to be upside down to allow the heat to rise from the base.

I just recently had this similar situation facing me, The StarTech wiring bezel was the only answer way to go. After having the wiring loom in hand it became apparent that you have the ability to customize just about any item wiring end or LED's color. If one of your problems is in the connectors, having a special configuration just use your old wire/connector.

Yes. You just pull out the old unit after taking out the top screw. Disconnect the 3 lights. Reconnect the lights then snap the new unit in place. Check out a tube for help.

Yes, I converted some of mine to LEDs. Depending on leads they either would twist into the base or I had to solder a small piece of copper wire to get a firm contact with the base. there're working fine.

You can switch the bulbs out on these lights, if you wish. I put small LED's in mine, and they worked perfectly.

Yes: follow the instructions included with the product. Just turn off the power & remove old light. This unit comes with a small plastic junction box. Wire that in the same way your old light was wired. Install the new light and use the connecting cord to plug the LED light into the junction box. Very simple.

Never got my LED lights to work, not sure what is needed to wire them in correctly. So dont know how long they last or if they are able to be replaced.
2133971
yes you can. however get a better version than this one. LED is not centered properly and the adjusting screws strip out real easy.

Yes! You take your old lights off and install the new ones. EVERYTHING you need is included -Even new Bulbs.I thought that I will have some kind of problem installing them, but guess what? It turned out to be nice and smooth. I went back to them and bought assembly for my Dodge pick-up. Buy from him.. you'll be happy!!! I GUARANTY IT!! I did not need to go out to store to find anything extra .

No you have to use the box for the LED's to work properly. the box contints the resistors that control the current thst goes to the LED; if you bypass the resistors you will burn the LED's
