HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
"There have been a couple of threads discussing adding Daytime Running Lights (DRL) to the LEAF. Some people have done it, but I haven't seen any clear documentation on how. So here's how you do it. Total cost was about $35.
STEP 1:
Get some 12V LED DRLs of your choice. I used the DTL-CW8HF from Super Bright LEDs:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/ ... _specs.htm
STEP 2:
Get some wire tap connectors, I used these from Radio Shack:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... Id=2104093
STEP 3:
Tighten the screws on the DRLs to lock the mounting plate in a flat horizontal position and use the included double stick tape to install them in the corners under the front lip of the car.
STEP 4:
Use a 10mm socket wrench and remove the 5 bolts holding the black plastic undercarriage protector. You'll need to pull it down and slide your head and shoulders up in there to get some work done. I didn't have to remove the two clips that hold it in further back, but you may want to.
STEP 5:
Pop the hood and locate the Power Distribution Module (PDM). As you face the motor compartment, it's on the right hand side between the 12V battery and the headlight.
STEP 6:
Release the four clips (two on each side) and carefully pull the PDM up a little bit and rotate/twist it so it's sitting vertical in the PDM well and the beveled corner is on the top facing the car.
STEP 7:
Locate the red wire #57 and the black & white wire #18. Use the wire taps you got and splice both DRL red wires to #57 and both DRL black wires to #18 as pictures above. It's a little tight in there, so I recommend a small set of pliers. Be sure the DRL wires are inserted as far as possible into the taps and that the car's wiring is properly snapped into the tap before you crimp it down. If you don't it won't make a good connection and the lights will flicker. Try to position the taps to one side of the car wires and not in the middle such that you have room to place another one if you mess it up the first time. Do not try to remove the tap if you mess up or you risk damaging the car wires - you do not want that! Just carefully clip the DRL wires off the tap and place a new tap next to it.
STEP 8:
Use a file (or other tool) and cut a notch in the left side of the PDM well, run the wires through it and snap the PDM back into place. Route the wires as shown and tuck them through to the underside of the car along side the radiator. There's an opening underneath the coolant bottle that leads through along side the radiator. Of course, you can choose your own path, but here's how I did it. I found it helpful to tie the loose ends of the wires together so you can easily fish them through all together.
STEP 9:
Now crawl down underneath the car an insert yourself between the bumper and the pastic piece you removed in step 3. If you managed to run the wires through the same opening I did, reach up between the side of the car and the large black plastic cowling you'll find there. Grab the wires and run them over the top of the black plastic cowling. Then run them through to the center of the car.
STEP 10:
Connect the DRL wires to the DRLs and tie the wires to the wiring harness you see in the middle of the car using zip ties or the twist ties that originally held the wires together. Pull up any slack as you do it so the wires are secure and don't flap around.
That's it - you're done!
Any questions?"

Espetáculo, nem eu faria melhor, mas atenção, o rapaz é americano e as ditas luzes estão aprovadas pelo departamento automóvel americano
( não sei como será cá, mas de certeza que dá enfarilhanço ), outra coisa é a garantia da Nissan em Portugal. ( será afectada? )

Re: HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
Eu preferia trocar a lâmpada incandescente por uma equivalente de LED's, sem ter que fazer qualquer alteração à instalação electrica... o problema é encontrar isto com aquele enceixe como somos poucos não deve haver mercado para estas alternativas, mas pode ser que estas lâmpadas estejam a ser usadas em outros modelos recentes e comecem a aparecer alternativas com LED's para aquele suporte...

Re: HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
Como disse o mjr, desde que se consigam comprar incandescentes com esse suporte, parte-se o vidro e adapta-se uma lâmpada de LEDs ao suporte.
Quem não se sentir à vontade para fazer, arranja-se alguém na comunidade VE que faça umas quantas lâmpadas.

Os encaixes é o mais fácil, manda-se vir do sítio indicado pela internete, o ser legal na garantia é que o buzilis, penso eu de que.

Não sei se voltou a ser falado por aqui, mas dei com estas lampadas LED High power que devem encaixar diretamente no LEAF, mas têm tanta potencia (18W 650lm) que ainda devem consumir mais que as de origemmjr Escreveu:Os LEDs de médios gastam mais que as DRL incandescentes. Isto porque os médios emitem MUITO mais luz que as DRL. Penso que se consegue ver no painel de consumo de energia que os médios gastam mais. Experimenta mudar de um para o outro e ver como se comporta o indicador de consumo dos acessórios.
Não tenho a certeza mas penso que os médios gastam cerca de 25W cada e as DRL gastam 13W. Já agora... alguém sabe onde arranjar lâmpadas P13W, as usadas como DRL no LEAF? Gostaria de tentar adaptar LEDs, mas preciso da ficha da lâmpada P13W.

Re: HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
Percebo pouco do assunto mas pela experiencia que tive com uns medios/maximos de leds que meti no meu fabia (opticas de modulo), hummm.. foi um desastre!!
Quem via de fora nem notava grande diferença mas, em estrada nacional, escuras como breu... eu é que não via nada, apenas o reflexo dos sinais e marcas rodoviarias.
Penso que nao é demais experimentarem umas mais potentes.

Re: HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
Mas se não estou enganado a função destas luzes no LEAF é para ser visto de dia, por isso não deve fazer muita diferença, a não ser que tenha alguma utilidade como iluminação alternativa aos medios/maximos..

Re: HOWTO: Daytime Running Lights Installed for $35
Mas quem quiser uns LED's que dão realmente muita luz existem umas opções com 10mil lumens que também são usados para iluminação de monumentos
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100W-High-Pow ... 337efaface
o inconveniente é que precisam de um dissipador grande nas costas e de 30V de alimentação em vez de 12V
Parece ser um chip LED que na pratica deve ser uma matriz de 10x10 LEDs de 1W :
