yeah he's done with the conversion but did he get his head lights working as well? The last I heard he only had the LED fog lights on and working. NXXT give us an update please.

Hey guys! Unfortunately I have not had my headlights wired yet. My shop that did my widebody, paint work, conversion, etc could not get them to work and they build cars from the ground up. From my understanding is they run off something like data signals as well as electricity. I have a guy that works at a dealership who saw my car when it was done at the shop. He decided to take on the challenge. He doesn't want to burn my headlights up however so he needed to acquire a warrantied set from work that he could practice on he says. He finally got LS headlights now. Last I spoke with him, he said he was going to practice with those over the weekend and see if he was brave enough to do mine. Basically he is going to by-pass the whole computer system and go straight for electrical power. We will see how it goes. For now I'm just waiting lol

Good luck man. We're all waiting! Do you think the non triple beam LEDs are plug and play?

So if one were to have the 2013 LED head lights from the factory would it be a simular scenario?

Does anyone know if you're able to use the old parking sensors? I want to do the conversion but I really don't want to buy a new set of sensors. If so, anyone know the price breakdown including the sensors and whatever else I might not know about that would be necessary?

Drill out the holes a little bigger so you can fit the old sensors. The newer sensors are wired completly different and won't work on your 13 GS

My temporary solution to driving at night. I have a third shop currently trying to figure out the headlights. We can only get the blinkers to work. My car has been in and out of Killer Hot Rods so this is why I haven't had a chance to finally wire them up or try at least

I'm assuming you have the LED computers for the headlights.
The little boxes that look like a HID ballast.

What do you mean? Not sure if you mean a separate piece because the headlights have their own attached to them

On the head light there should be a small module attached to the bottom. Every seller of the headlights I've seen for sale didn't include them.
