Default Day time running Leds finished

I been quiet on the forum but here is the latest. The Leds are side emiiting, while light with black strip. Installed on the bumper under the headlights. Its 19 inches long. It comes on with the ignition not light switch, stays on while the car is running . Its a great mod as it modernizes the car. Today I got the "what is that? A new sports car?

How do plasma LEDs work compared to standard LED bulbs? Standard LEDs emit light directly from semiconductor chips when current is applied, instead of from a vacuum the way incandescent bulbs do. In plasma bulbs, a radio frequency signal is generated by a solid-state power amplifier and directed into an electric field created inside the bulb. Once current is applied, gas and metal halide materials inside the bulb vaporize into a plasma state to create light output that is as twice as dazzling as standard LEDs. Both types offer greater efficiency than incandescent bulbs because power is not lost in the production of heat. Standard LEDs generate 70 lm/W on average and plasma LEDs generate around 150 lm/W, far greater than 15 from incandescent bulbs.

What you posted there is actually a COB LED not plasma. Circuit on board type LEDs offer better light dispersal than the normal LEDs but suffer from overheating if not done properly. Still better than halogen though lol

I am new to the forum. I like this look. How did you do this and what cosmetic changes, if any, did you have to make to the interior of the car?

Would save me a little time with a "key on hot"... I'm adding a normally closed relay and tapping a headlight to open - turn off with headlights on.
