Negative. How can I take my car out with no headlights ? Plus I do not have my own garage to do all these things myself unfortunately.

I do not have a garage that's the main problem. I don't like to do everything in the open too.
Just my bad luck. Anyways I've decided never to give my car to the dealership for regular maintenance like oil change etc from now on. Pretty pissed with them for not supporting me with this.

always wondered if its been done. But i want to know if you can still keep the DRL's on the high beam and LED's or just the LED's as DRL's @ 50% then when the parking lights are switched on to then power them to 100%...Although 100% on DRL's would be nice as well.

Hi Jeff,

I admire the work you've done on this project. I looked all over the Internet for that information and this is the only place I found it. Respect for that!

I have few questions. Did you go with the single MBR2545CT or you went with the 2 x 1N5817?
I read the whole thread and somewhere you mentioned that you might modify the harness that comes from the car instead of the one that comes from the headlights. Which approach did you choose?

Did you take any pictures by any chance? I can picture it myself in my head but I would like to see how you did it.

Thanks in advance.

ive been trying to pull out the green wire to relocate it but it's not coming out, what is the proper way? its basically to the point of ripping out and i hope i dont mess it up. i can't even get a hold of the rubber part to pull it out, what should i do? i pulled out the brown plug already but the green wire wont' come out. here is a pic




also my headlights didn't come with a plug like another member of this thread. will my old HID headlights have this to plug it in? do i need this harness? thanks.

Make sure you get a cover for that hole. IIRC some members installed without it and had major water condensation issues after.

if you planning to wire 100% bright to IGN2, don't worry about relocate the green wire, all you have to cut the green wire from the LED dust cover where the 3 prongs wire coming from and wire that green wire to IGN2 fuse

so the second pic i posted, you splice the green wire and run it to ign2 fuse? is that in the fuse box? sorry there seems to be so many ways to do this in this thread, im confused. can you post pics?


yes i do plan to run 100% full bright. is this the same on the ISF?
