Need help checking circuit

Projects General Guidance

So, I'm working on this project. Basically it reads the status of my lowbeam to adjust the brightness of my Daylight Riding Light (DRL), bright when lowbeam is off (daytime) and dim it down when lowbeam is on (night time), and activates switchback function when signal light is on.

To power it I'll draw from the ACC fuse (cigarette lighter/power fuse) to a 12V to 5V 10A converter and power the whole thing. One DRL is a strip of 70 WS2812b LED, 60mA each, so it's 4.2A per strip, and I have 2 sets so 8.2A for the lights, add 2 Arduino Nano and 2 optocoupler, 10A should be enough.

Between the Data input on the LED strip and the Nano output pin I place a 220Ohm resistor, and a 1000uF capacitor on the LED strip power input as recommended.

Below are the link for the optocoupler and power converter I use. Please feel free to make any recommendation. Thanks for reading guys.

The converter: Amazon.com

The optocoupler:

Thanks for telling and thanks for schematics. They look slightly messy due to an erased, or backside, paper drawing.
My question is: Does it do what You want? If so, the recommendation is to enjoy it.

Thanks for your reply. I just went to Microcenter today to buy some capacitors and resistors. Just want to get some confirmation before I put everything up together in a test set so I can minimize the chance of blowing something up lol

That setup looks like free from fumes.
