A tuned car always stands out among other cars on the road, parking, etc. Tuning can be different, but the most attractive is the light that distinguishes one or another part of the car and attracts the attention of passersby to it (and to the whole car). The most popular today in Russia is the LED illumination of the disks, which can be done at will, making a subtle accent or lighting the wheel completely.
It is not necessary to make light decoration in salons or workshops; DIY illumination of discs is possible. You can make it on wheels, underbody, grille and other elements of the car that will look great, especially in the dark.
The appearance of your car after tuning depends on what type of backlight you choose, what color and what lighting power.
In most cases, do-it-yourself wheel illumination is performed on the front axle of the car using an
LED strip, the installation of which is carried out along the edge of the protective casing. The complexity of the work performed depends on which tape you purchase. If it is on an adhesive basis
(double-sided tape), then the work will be reduced to thoroughly cleaning the surface of the disk and degreasing it for the maximum gluing effect. If you use an ordinary
LED ruler during work
, then it is necessary to drill holes at a distance of about 7 cm from each other, into which clamps will be threaded.
If the car does not have a protective cover, then do-it-yourself wheel illumination is as follows. It is necessary to create an additional design (imitation of the casing), which will serve as an element for attaching the LED backlight. The frame can be made of any material, for example, mounting tape. For its fastening, additional implementation of the beams is required, which are attached to the disk, after which the simulator itself is mounted. With the help of clamps, a light strip is attached to it.
If you want the backlight of the disks to be located in their center, then it is advisable to use the metal tape from which the construction is made. It is worn on the brake disc from the outside and attached to the protective cover. An LED strip is mounted on this structure.
Similarly, do-it-yourself wheel illumination for the rear axle of the car. If there is a protective cover, then the tape is attached directly to it, if it is not, we are preparing an imitation.
The wiring is laid on the car body so that it is most protected from damage. The best option for wiring is brake hoses that provide flexibility and durability. Mounting method - ordinary clamps.
As for the legality of such tuning, it should be noted that the law does not say anything about the prohibition of the use of specifically LED backlighting, so you can not formally make a comment about this.
