Default Sewell prewired LED headlights

Does anyone know where I can get prewired LED lights like the one sewell sold. I damaged my drivers side headlight and need a replacement. If anyone is selling a drivers side prewired led headlight please let me know also. TIA

I joined the forums after sewell closed down so I don't know what kind they sold but have you tried looking on eBay?

I tried searching on ebay but it seems like most are not prewired oem's or aftermarket. I would like to stay prewired oem instead of aftermarket ones.

I didn't know the sewell one was prewired because i purchased mine from sewell, but I still had to get them wired to get thr DRL running.

I think sewell was prewired to just plug and play except for the DRL running. You just had to turn off or one turn for just the led to come on. I think that ad for light is user metaleckz on here. I messaged him but not sure if that one is prewired or if he is willing to ship it.

You can still call Sewell to order the headlights. Not sure if they will sell you only one side though.

I called this morning and they said they don't make it anymore. It was a limited production and they don't even have used ones.

Sewell will sell you any side you want to purchase. Worth the call. You still get the discount we had before.

I'm assuming you still have the left side damaged light. Couldn't you just rewire a new stock light like your old one?

That might be the only way unless I spend a lot of money on a whole new set

Tapping the wire is super easy. Move one pin, and cut/tap another.

The diagram is in another post in this forum

It seems I can do it this way with the 2011-2013 oem headlights to work on my 2010

"So I went with what "thinktwice" originally did..
I snipped the thinner solid red wire, then tapped it into the Black & White wire underneath it..
Then I changed the pin location of the Green Wire to the empty spot... Done.!!" solid green wire to the default third empty slot next to the white and black wire striped wire.
