L.E.D bonnet light strip MG4

[KMC]

Hello, I have fitted a light strip to my x power which looks great. I want to change it for the one with progressive indicators built in but I am unsure how to access the front bumper indicator wires? And also which is the correct colour wire to clamp onto? Has anyone done this please? Any help appreciated thanks.

could you pls. post a picture showing your car with the light strip?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris, got a short video but no pic. Will take one if/when I remember

There’s a wiring diagram online that might help you.

You also might get the other info you need in the service manual, which is also online.

Hi Chris as promised .
Unfortunately couldn’t post the 15 second video which shows the scan startup, but hope this gives you the idea? It stays on until I lock/shutdown my car

Well done Thank you

Why is there someone in a white balaclava in the passenger seat? Are you being taken hostage? Do we need to alert the authorities?

Some neighbours recently got their car interior rifled due to not locking their car. I have a white Bali on both front headrests, that way if theres on my drive I know they tried my car door

What is the strip powered by? What connections have you used?

Red wire to fuse box & Black wire to Earth

IF I told you that another mg4 would have one .
It took me ages to figure out. Sorry not ready to share yet, no offence intended.

Sorry for chiming in here but it seems a bit rich you asking for assistance in your OP but refusing to give any to others

Someone always has to figure out a way to do things first, if no-one ever shared how they did it then things wouldn't progress very far.

That's a bit mean, since you joined the forum on Saturday specifically to ask for help with your installation, and got it.

What's the chances of you ever coming across someone else from the forum who has adopted your idea anyway? Personally, I'd be chuffed if other people wanted to copy a mod I'd introduced.

Hi, did you stick the stripe to the bonnet lid, or the body above the badge?

the F89 fuse in the engine compartment is +ACC

Get yourself a wire probe.
Open bonnet.
Find the wires leading to the Headlight unit.
Put on sidelights.
Probe wires til you find the live.
Splice in, and don't forget to earth.
You will void the warranty on your entire lighting system.
Have fun.

I think the scan on start up is unnecessary,
Every time you go under a tree it will be doing its little sequence

I can understand that. However I didnt get any viable help, I had to pay an auto electrician.
