Hi everyone!! Hope everyone is safe!!!

So i installed my headlights, signal lights and my fog lamps (daytime driving lights) on my coupe over the weekend. So now its time to wire it up and confirm functionality. I received the Ron Francis harness from factory 5

The instructions in the chassis harness is confusing.

Headlight:
there are three wires coming off of the headlights. Black, red and white. On the harness there is low and high beam. What connects to what?

Signal lights;
So on the signal lights (the two below the headlight, do both of them flash? do one of them become parking lights? How did you hook them up?
136032

Fog lamps;
With the fog lamps that i received from factory Five, They came with a very good wiring harness. But i would like to make it into a day time driving lights. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Also, did anyone notice on your body that the fog lamp opening depths are different. when you mount the fog lamps, one side recesses deeper then the other. will have to shim it i guess during final assembly after paint.

The three wires on the headlight connector are white = high beam, red = low beam, black = ground.

The two LED indicators are typically wired as one for running lights the other for the turn signal. They're wiring with the appropriately colored and labelled wires in the front harness. Pretty straightforward. You can see mine blinking and flashing in this video: https://youtu.be/Ji9H-2ejMDw.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of how to wire your fog lights as DRL's. Maybe a little bright for that purpose but your choice. Just a quick Google search and search on Amazon and there are multiple options out there for adding DRL's. Just depends on how complicated you want to make it.

I didn't notice if the fog light buckets are different depths. Mine are mounted along the bottom of the opening, so it wouldn't have mattered. I didn't use the kit provided lights. I switched to KC HiLiTES because I wanted them to be lower current draw and longer lasting LED's. Also switched to LED headlights.

Thankyou!!!! That helped alot. For the fog lights i might just wire it up to a switch. We will see.
