Front Tribar LED with Sequential Turn MOD! (new thread)

[John577]

Think I saw it on Instagram earlier today

Nice, can you try to share us the link ?

Thanks for that, just saw your little video on your Facebook account.

They beat me to it.

Can you provide another video showing :
- Tri-bar in DRL mode
- Tri-bar in dimmed mode
- Sequential turn

All in one video ?

Thanks :cheers:

Video is looking great!

Just to clarify- we're still planning one more video showing and comparing the speed of the US and EU drivers. The US version is shown in our new video. Thanks!

Are the sequential hazard working with car completely off?

Why shouldn't they? They are connected to the turning lights, so every time they get a signal they light up sequentially

In my install, I had to connect a wire to a permanent 12v to have sequential hazards with car off.
Most probably hazards use a different blinking circuit from turning lights.

When car is off, power is shutted down to parking and turning lights, so I believe that driver should be connected to some permanent 12v to have seq working when all is off.

papinist, you should really work at diode dynamics... why you don't apply for a job there? you would be the mustang expert! hehehe (and then you make special prices for us!)

Not quite sure how the wiring of the DD boards is. The driver must be connected to something, shouldn't make a difference if you put it on ingnition or permanent

Of course I don't know how the wirings will be, too. So I am asking that

On the product page I read:

Inputs: T-taps for DRL, parking, ground, and turn signal

Connection to DRL is used to know when drls are on (EU drls have a really unstable\variable power so they should have considered this), parking is used to dim drl for the night, ground is, well, ground and turn signal to activate sequential amber.
They have probably designed this driver to work correctly in every situation.

Don't get me wrong, sequential hazards with car off is a particular case so it's not so important.. mine is only curiosity

I'm not an engineer, only a curious guy that continuosly open things to know how they works :headbonk:

Not as engineer, but you can work there as the EU lightning consultant :cheers:

Correct, our sequentials require permanent 12v to work, regardless if you are blinking regularly or with emergency lights. I think the + from the original blinkers is only used as a trigger signal to the sequential circuit.
