URGENT: How to transfer stuff from old headlight to LED?
Hey everyone,
I'm new here and I just purchased some LED headlights second hand, but I have no idea how to transfer everything from my old HID equipped headlights to my new LED headlights. There are missing spots like the blinker signals and stuff. I only installed the DRL and I got stuck afterwards. My car is basically sitting in my garage cause I took everything apart, and I don't want to reinstall the bumper before i get this thing accomplished.
How did you guys transfer all the lights? What else did you guys need to buy? Am I missing certain things?
I tested the headlight and the low beam bulb is already in there, I installed the DRL. It turns on for 2-3 seconds and it dies out. I just don't know how to install the turn signal bulbs because there are no wires for me to connect it to.
Sorry for the messy explanation. It's out of sequence.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to what you guys have to say, because I can't even use my car right now, lol.

There is an extra loom you need which powers the LED and comes with the turn signal holder and connector. You will need two of those looms (one per headlamp). The part number is: 81125-53540 its not that expensive. It comes with the rubber grommet that covers the LED connector opening.
Once you have this loom, it consists of 5 pins, 2 of which are the turn signal and the 3 bottom row ones are for the LED. I cut-off the 3 and connected my own connector to do custom wiring.
And finally the ballast transfer is slightly delicate so take your time. Remove the screws that hold the ballast in, remove the connector and the D4S bulb, then you will have to remove the connector and exposing just the pins and fish out the wire and then install it on your new headlamp.

Yes you need a new 2012 relay flasher. I cut and installed my own relay switching. My LED's are powered from Aux 12V power source, when sidelights are turned on, the aux power source turns off and the sidelight power then powers the LED's on the dim mode.
