Yes, that has been covered before, and yes it will get rid of the blinking light, but it will also disable your auto-leveling system.

thanks Jeff!

Anyone in Northern California (the Bay) know of anyone that can re-wire this?

in conclusion, after relocating the solid green wire, you must tap the red with black&white wire in order for LED's to work!
Any pics of this mate?

Man I read thru this entire thread and I seem to get the idea of how to install then in the car. Some of you guys must be astronauts or something .... Those damn diagrams seem harder then when I had to learn Chinese lol. But i have one question for anyone one that has gotten this to work. I like using the auto feature on my lights and I just want the LEDs to turn on when the car starts up so should I stripe the red wire to the black and white wire then instead of relocating the green pin just run a wire off the green to the acc on the fuse box or the igition on the fuse box? I will be tackling this job Thursday so any confirmation will be appreciated . Thanks

Yes I just got a fuse tap and had to tap it into the ig2 and connect it to the lighter green wire on the headlight. I only had to do it to one for some odd reason.

Ok I will try this to see what happens. Did you still tap the red wire to the white and black

did you got your DRL disable from the dealer? if it is not, that why you can get the leds to turn on by only one wire tap? I tried this before I could only have one light led to turn on, not BOTH, and the big white and blue stripe wire close to IG2 fuse is that the wire for DRL power, so I got my DRL disable so there is no power on that wire?

yeah I bought the stripped one from sewell too, but like one of the member here claim that he only tap one wire to the big white and blue strip wire to one driver headlight and it trigger both headlights on without tap to IG2 fuse, but he didn't have DRL disable? I tried using his way to hook up my leds, but did work, because I got my DRL disable, so no power there, so I have to do different way to make both headlights to work I have to wire two headlights to IG2 fuse to have both leds on, not just one

I also found out that with my headlights on auto I can't turn off my car unless I turn the headlights to another setting.

well all you have to rewire them, I don't if you want to cut the green wire, but it is the only way to run them without the problem? what I did was cut the green wire on both headlights and run them to the IG2 fuse, but you MUST CUT the wire
