Thanks for the help, and I believe I know whats going on now. Prior to switching out the headlights, my parking lights had stopped turning on for some reason. I even threw in some new vleds that wouldnt turn on either. I figured it was fine since I was planning on this upgrade. Im completely lost as to what direction to go in now? Do I wire differently? How do I backtrack the parking light issue?

Well just know that the green wire is to power the LEDs, so however you wanna splice it to get power to them is ultimately up to you. Do your amber colored side markers work in the headlights? They should come on whenever you turn on your parking lights. You could try using that as the power source.

I just checked and unfortunately the side markers are not turning on either(fuse box issue?). So looks like ill have to splice those wires as well. Which wire on the pic gives power to the side markers? Any other ideas of another wire to splice the green one to. Also which socket do I ultimately want the green wire to get 100% brightness

The 2 packages on sewell are for people who are upgrading and currently have either 1)Halogens or 2) HID w/ AFS...
If you don't have HIDs w/ AFS now, you order the Halogen to HID with LED DRL package
Hope this helps!

There is a circular cap with wires coming out of it that to plug into the LED board and the other end to the rest of the harness. I can't remember the part # off hand, but if you have a 2011 headlight diagram I believe it shows the part there. Just be aware that in that diagram, the cap doesn't look nearly as big as it actually is.

^ awww man. If you can, please look up the part # and let me know. I went to the dealership and they don't seem to have the new headlight diagram for the 2011 headlights.

sooo just spent few hours on the headlights and just like another member here the led strips don't work My guess is that thinktwice had stock HID's and relocating one cable would work for him. And since originaly my car didn't come with HID's i think i need to relocate the wire in a differen slot....but which one
