Do-it-yourself DRL Kia Sid repair

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of a Kia LED DRL from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Uv moderators, transfer if that topic, maybe in the FAQ or somewhere else.

So, I took two DRL controllers from the repair, more precisely - one is dead, the other is likely to die soon, but it is still working. In reality, the same 555 series microcircuit (timer) is dying. Installed at the factory by another manufacturer. Changes are elementary if you have primary skills in soldering SMD components. As the person who picked them told me, the problem is more likely either in the microcircuit manufacturer (kmr most likely takes by tender, the cheapest), or in overheating - according to symptoms - there is an entrance, an exit, there are no cycles. Only I do not understand why this happened in winter and not in summer .. Image - DIY repair of Kia LED DRL

One of these days I will make the collective farm headlights. Photos if I post anything tomorrow by the differences and markings - the manufacturer of the regular mikruh. The price of the issue is 13 rubles for the scheme + gasoline to get to the store. By the operating time - open the headlight -30 minutes, throw off the controller and unsolder-solder the microcircuit - 10 minutes, close the headlight (by the way, if you remove it from heating, I think it will be much faster) - the same 30 minutes. Then decide for yourself whether this hemorrhoid is worth this time.

To summarize, there are several options for solving unreleased DRLs -
1.warranty, the issue price is 0 rubles
2.buying a new headlight, issue price from 30 thousand rubles
3.buying a used headlight, the issue price is from 3000 to 15 thousand rubles
4. Self-repair - 200 + - rubles
5. Completely non-independent repair - I do not know, I think in the region of 3 thousand (remove partially-completely the bumper, remove the headlight, paste-repair-glue it, put the headlight, put the bumper)
6. Partially non-independent repair - you remove the controller, I send you to the person who will solder the microcircuit for you, I can't say the price tag (I think about 300..500 rubles)

If you are from Novosibirsk, and you have a desire for points 5 and 6 - please contact. I think the guarantee will be at least 6 months.
I draw your attention to the fact that I am not doing this, I just know people who can do it based on your ability to destroy everything. Once again, pictures for comparison of orig and repair will be tomorrow.

Yes. If you open the small cover at the bottom of the headlight, you can see it.

the lamp is to blame, take a ride a little soon it will die completely

the thread broke. when shaken, it can burn, it can fade. It happens. Change the lamp.

rode for several days - it burns, then not not. I got it out and on the hike she had already died the other day - the thread was gone)

Guys, I greet you, please tell me if any of you have encountered the following problem, I will describe it briefly. I am the owner of a Kia seed jd 2012. equipment prestige. In 2014, the daytime running lights (DRL) on the left headlight stopped burning, I turned to the dealer, they replaced the headlight under warranty, a month later, the “eyelash” on the right headlight stopped burning. - replaced. just before the new year, one eyelash began to flicker, and the other stopped burning. What is it? Low-quality DRL or something all the same with wiring. Thanks in advance for your advice.

I have united the topic, use the search.

THE ENTIRE PROBLEM IS IN THE CONTROLLERS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DRL INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS. It happens that in some places on the boards, contacts are cracked. maybe this is due to changes in temperature and humidity inside the headlight itself. Some guys disassembled the headlight and treated everything themselves by soldering the contacts on the board.

Rather, to an electronics engineer who will determine the burnt part / parts. And few people will undertake this. There are a lot of hemorrhages. Easier to buy a controller on parsing

Greetings, advise the LEDs for the DRL, so that they work without rearranging the wires in the cartridge.

Now they are Chinese, so a little less than a year has passed, the diodes are blinking, then some have stopped working altogether.

How many have already encountered a kitay, so they do not work for a long time, even in the backlight of the room, 1-2 diodes start flashing.

I bought myself these for 1250 rubles in the district. I don't remember the company. They have been working for 2 years. But the wires still had to be rearranged in the chip.

I have the same kind of Chinese, they stand and blink, from some side the diode is no longer lit (

I think this is the word - "Chinese".

When I bought, I was “like” not China, in a beautiful and sealed package. I took it from the Grand Auto store on the Novoryazan highway.

I have had Starled 8G for two years already, they did not blink either in winter or summer, all the diodes are glowing. I bought another 800 rubles apiece, I did not rearrange the wires, I cut one pipka on the base. There are also good bulbs from NeTuning, they cost from 1000 rubles apiece, according to reviews they are of very high quality, they even give a guarantee for six months.

So far, I also stopped at buying NeTuning lamps, there is a 1g guarantee written on the lamps

The design of the lamp uses a diode bridge, which not only additionally protects the LEDs, but also ensures the non-polarity of the lamp. This lamp does not care where there is “plus” in the socket, and where is “minus”, which is quite important, because in the sockets of some cars there is a non-standard polarity, at which no ordinary LED lamp will work.

I have them for 7 months / 8000 km, no problem. The only drawback is not the brightest.

Good day to all!

I have a restyled LUX kit. Running lights separate from PTF and head light. There are two-pin lamps in the navigation lights.Why are there two-contact lamps if one contact is involved.

P.S. The cornering light is installed in the headlight.

there have been similar questions many times. came to the conclusion that the plant used correctly and massively such lamps somewhere else, and so as not to bother with other articles / orders / supplies, etc. put them in the seeds.

There is a 2013 KIA Ceed JD, Comfort grade with lamp DRLs.
Elementary taskput the switch on the DRL. When the engine is running, the DRLs light up automatically; it is impossible to completely turn off the outdoor lighting.

But the problem is that on this car there is 1 wire for DRL, but two. One on the left, the other on the right headlight.

So, we have I / P-B connector, 7 and 9 pins. Which are responsible for the right and left DRL lamp.
The task is to interrupt these wires through the button. Initially I was trying to find a single toggle switch that had 2 inputs and 2 outputs so the wires wouldn't cross. I did not find anything like that.
Then I suggested that you could just break the wires, twist them in pairs and connect them to the switch, but on the SIDU forum they scared me that this should not be done.
I thought I could make some kind of circuit with a relay. But since he himself is a layman in an electrician - looking for advice on the scheme.
