Carly App and LED Angel Eyes

ASBSECU E93 · 09-11-2016, 08:50 AM

Just wanted to post three pics of my newly installed LED bulbs after using Carly to turn up the brightness of the halos.

Three views at night, only the halos on.

Pics in order:

From a distance
Side view
From behind the fender looking at the light casting on the ground.

Looks good bro. Hmm...didn't think the LED care'd about the voltage adjustment possible vis Carly though, should be one strength regardless, no?

That only works on the stock halogen bulbs.

Correct.

Did you set to the highest setting using Carly? Mine was flickering when I did it. So eventually i code back to standard.

Setting it to the highest voltage might be bad for the voltage regulator for the LEDs since the voltage regulators have to convert the input voltage to the normal voltage for the LEDs which is lower than the input voltage and the higher the input voltage is, the harder the voltage regulators have to work, so they might overheat and burn out over time.

Noted.

So - I set the brightness to 'Medium'. Barely noticeable difference in the brightness.

Here are the settings from the App
