i just bought a pair of led washer nozzles of the internet. iÂ have a fair idea how to install it.. though i would like to know if anybody has installem them.. and how did they do it.. just so that i dont get stuck somewher hafway through tht e installation

One thing alwaysÂ get me confused ..is which wire is the positive and negativeÂ one wire is white and black and one wire is black

also would like to know if connecting the wires to the headlight is the best way to go for this

would also like to setup a on /off switch for this somwhere on the dash ....Â any ideas... or suggestions guys

PS :: i have come across a article (http://articles.domestictunerz.com/article.php?ID=157 )with detailed info on this ... but i wanted to know if anyone has done this on thier pintara

3 wires?? usually its 2. red and black. perhaps the white wire is for connecting the two leds together?

its normally:

black = connect to car chassis (negative)
red = connect to battery positive (On this line, install a switch inline to break the circuit to turn them on and off)

Note: beware, most of these are illegal for use on street driving, only the white ones are street legal. (In victoria anyway!)

i think what he meant was that one of the wires is black and white coloured, and the other wire is plain black. the plain black one would most likely be the negative...

You shouldn't have wasted your money. Or time.

installation is very straight forward and simple, the only problems i've known people to come across is being fined by the cops which is fair enough too.

Some people might say that about your mods to your car.

Don't turn this thread into another one of those rice threads that are all over the net nowadays. It's been done to death and we all know what the majority of people think of leds/neons etc.

Gee...so i wasted all those thousands on brake/suspension/engine upgrades when i should have filled my car with rice accessories to be a sick [i seem to suffer from tourettes]?

I agree with sssgtr, I don't think he should have wasted his time or money (IMO) however--- I don't think we really need to tell him that.

Nizzan · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 20, 2004, 11:41PM »

no he actually didnt ask for opinions, just assistance on how to install and wire them up.

noss · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 21, 2004, 12:05AM »

look you all hate us mods anyway, so it wouldnt hurt for me to say 'read the instructions that come with the washer jets first' it isnt really that hard.

instructions would go as follows:

- remove the water connections to your stock nozzles.
- your stock nozzles will simply 'pop' out with a bit of force from the underside.
- insert your led washer nozzles. because they are universal, the have a threaded stem and will need to be fixed with the supllied nuts. this is a bit fiddly
- fit the watter connection to your new nozzles.
- decide where you would like to connect the power to (parker lights, head lights, fog light switch, to the accesories with its own seperate switch)
- connect the positive wire to the positive power
- connect the negative wire to a negative wire or the chassis
- ensure you solder & insulate the connections correctly
- test that they illuminate
- set the water spray correctly
- drive
- get booked by the cops
- post in flames section about those 'c*nt coppers'
- most probably never use them again
- enjoy the multi-directional water spray witch is much better than your stock nozzles

i mean really, how hard is it?

I didn't actually say i like the washer leds; That's besides the point. What i'm getting at, is that no matter what you do to your car whether it be a stereo, a sticker, mags, tint, exhaust, neons, it's all coming to the same conclusion that it is 'rice'. If people don't like it, why whinge about it 50 times? Surely once is enough to get the point across.

And anyway, comments like "You shouldn't have wasted your money. Or time." aren't needed in a thread where the bloke asked for advice, not an opinion.

To each his own...so they say !

Dont think i've seen them on a U12 before mate, so get some pics up when they're in... Just note that any colour other than white on the front of ur car is pretty much illegal. i've seen people getting around with White nozzle things, I'm assuming they're ok??

You should invest in some LED parkers. I made some up with ultra bright white leds. They look sweet! they're a really cold white/blue colour and look mad... Only cost a couple of bucks to make too!!!

On another note, Can everyone with the â€˜that mod is shit/gayâ€™ attitude please pull their heads out of their arses??? It makes the whole atmosphere in here shithouse!

Jtas · « **Reply #26 on:** Apr 23, 2004, 02:46AM »

any chance of getting a picture of your parkers aussie?

In future open your eyes and read the instructions, or better yet take it to a workshop to install it for you.
Then you won't cop smart ass remarks from me.

noss · « **Reply #29 on:** Apr 23, 2004, 10:54AM »

there have been led washer nozzles on a u12 as well, if you want something new that hasnt been done before, you gotta be a bit more on the ball.
