Ultra-thin 60cm car LED tear light guide two-colour daytime running strip with turn signal

This daytime running light strip addresses a common problem for vehicle owners: adding a clear, slim light source that works both as a running light and a turn signal without bulky housing. The ultra-thin 0.7cm profile fits into narrow channels on bumpers, grilles, or body panels, giving a modern tear-light appearance. With 96 white and 72 yellow 2835 lamp beads per strip, it provides sufficient brightness for daytime visibility while the two-colour function signals directional changes. Running on a standard 12V system at 0.25A, it integrates easily into most vehicle electrical setups. Available in multiple colour options and lengths, it suits various styling preferences.

Features and Construction

The strip is built around a flexible circuit board with 2835 LED beads arranged in two colour groups. A light guide layer ensures consistent illumination across the whole length, avoiding hot spots. The ultra-thin design keeps the strip discreet when installed.

Material and Build

The LED beads are model 2835, known for their compact size and efficiency. The strip uses a light guide material to spread light evenly, and the flexible PCB allows bending around curves. The outer casing is slim at just 0.7cm thick, making it suitable for tight spaces.

Size and Practical Fit

The strip measures 0.7 by 1.7 by 61 centimetres for the 60cm version. Other lengths include 30cm and 45cm options. The 0.7cm thickness means it can sit in narrow gaps where standard lights would not fit, and the 1.7cm width provides a visible light surface without looking oversized.

Uses and Placement

While designed primarily as a daytime running light, the two-colour function allows the strip to double as a turn signal indicator. The light guide construction helps maintain a clean appearance during both states.

Vehicle Accent Lighting

Many drivers use such strips to add a custom tear-light look to the front bumper or lower grille area. The white running light stays on during daytime driving, and switching to yellow indicates a turn. The slim profile means it can be mounted along edges without obstructing airflow or other lights.

Signal Enhancement

The yellow light function provides an additional turn signal source, which can improve visibility to other road users. Because the strip is dedicated to this purpose, it does not interfere with existing indicator lights and can be placed where original signals are less visible.

Benefits and Buying Value

This strip offers a simple way to add both running and signal lighting in a single unit. The LED beads are energy-efficient, drawing only 0.25A at 12V, which places minimal load on the vehicle's electrical system.

Easy Integration

With a standard 12V operating requirement, the strip can be wired into existing lighting circuits or via a separate switch. The flexible design allows mounting on curved surfaces, and the adhesive backing (if provided with the product) simplifies attachment. Users should verify polarity during installation.

Why Choose This Product

The combination of 96 white and 72 yellow LEDs per strip gives balanced output for both functions. The light guide technology evens out the light, creating a consistent tear-light effect rather than point-like LEDs. The availability of multiple lengths and colours means drivers can match their vehicle's existing lighting style without significant modification.
