That’s a clever idea! How did you wire them? Did you connect them to the car’s power or use a battery pack?
I wired mine directly to the footwell lights. Just tap into the existing wiring and use some connectors. It’s a neat way to power them without draining your battery!
Just a reminder: be cautious when cutting wires! I messed up once on my friend’s car, and it wasn’t pretty. Double-check everything before you snip anything!
Haha, I can relate! I accidentally cut the wrong wire while watching a video. Now I double-check everything before starting.
For those who have done it: did you notice any issues with flickering lights? I’ve heard that can happen if the voltage isn’t consistent.
Flickering can be a hassle. I recommend using a CAN bus decoder for your LED headlights. It helps eliminate that problem and ensures they work perfectly with your Cruze.
That sounds like a smart investment! I might just try that to avoid any wiring headaches. Thanks for sharing!
Funny enough, the hardest part was actually fitting everything back after installation. It’s like a puzzle, trying to make it all fit again! But so worth it for the look.
Hey everyone! I’m looking to upgrade my Chevy Cruze with some LED lights. Are there any legal regulations I should know about before making a purchase?
Absolutely! LED light regulations can vary significantly by state. It’s crucial to check your local laws regarding colors and brightness to avoid fines.
I found that some states allow white, amber, and red LED lights, but blue lights are often a no-go. Make sure to search your state DMV website for specific laws!

Good call! I just checked mine, and it specifies the restrictions clearly. It’s important to stay compliant while still achieving that custom look you want.
And don’t forget about brightness! Some states have limits on how bright your lights can be, especially for headlights. Better safe than sorry!
Ha, I thought I’d be able to light up like a Christmas tree! Thanks for the heads up about the brightness limits. Any recommendations for LED brands that are legal and still look great?
I’ve had great experiences with brands like Diode Dynamics and Auxbeam. Great looks without breaking the law!
Thanks, catherinesmith! Does anyone know if switching to LED means I need to replace the housing or any parts with my Chevy Cruze?
From my experience, most can fit into the existing housing without any issues. Just check fitment if you’re going for some funky designs!
That’s good to know! And what about wiring? Is it a complicated process for LEDs?
True! And hey, if you mess up, at least you’ll have a great story to tell about how you illuminated your own car like a UFO!
