Well having a hard time trying to wire the LED head lights . The manual, at least to me, is very confusing. Does anyone or can anyone provide me with a wiring diagram to wire the head light . At this time it make no sense to me . Thanks Herb

The only thing that's funky - is running the DRL to switched power. Ignore that for now and hook up the other 3 wires as the manual states - High, Low, Signal. Then just run a new wire from DRL to switched power. All my wires are wrapped in heat shrink and sleeves now. The signal will overtake the DRL when you flip your blinker to turn them yellow - and then back to white when you're done.
Should be 4 wires. 3 to the harness and one you're on your own for.

After looking things over I have found that the only wire from the chassis harness that I can get power from ( no matter what position the switch is in) is the tan
parking light wire no other wires at all ,and that is only when the switch is pulled out to the first click, any ideas ?

I cheated and put a powered fuse box on the bulkhead behind the seat. I power the DRL, trans cooler fan and transmission controller. So, in short, I didn’t use the harness for the DRLs. You could tap a wire on the cooling fan, coil, efi wire. Those are all switched if I remember correctly.

SOLVED, once I figure out that the dimmer switch was only a 2 position switch all went well, Thanks for all the help, Herb

That's fantastic. Onward!
I am just starting to wire the LED head lights, if I read this thread correctly I think the running lights, that is the white bar, is on whenever the car is running?

Has anyone successfully run all the wires through the small mounting shaft? I have tried and it appears impossible, or maybe risking a short. I am thinking of using a separate conduit like on the taillights. Thoughts?

I was able to get 4, 14ga wires through there. very tight but can be done...

I downsize the LED wires but not the headlight wires. This makes it pass through the bolt easier, IMO. However I did not get the newer light I have the 1 gen 33 headlight in my 35 kit.

I have 6 wires, including the extra to run for the DRLs. The low and high beam are larger gauge wire than the other 4 wires. They all barely fit through the taillight size conduit.

Connect the ground wires together inside the headlight bucket.

Do you guys have the color pin outs on what wire is doing which action?

I don't think I do. I have a 12V jump pack and just tested each wire to figure it out... 1 Ground then just started testing and labeling.
