Default HELP! Problems installing LED DRL/HIGHBEAMS

Hey guys,

I recently bought the LED Daytime Running Lights/Highbeams.

I popped them in and nothing works? My AFS warning light is flashing now too...

Any idea's what im doing wrong or what I need to do?

Is a replay or resistor required?

Thanks.

LED's needs full voltage to work for daytime running lights they'res a item which you can buy that converts the ~6v to a full ~12volts so it would be running bright all the time in the morning.

There is no such thing as an LED DRL/High Beam. It's an LED DRL which results in loss of high beam. You have no high beam after doing this mod.

yeah you will need that device they sell from v-leds. Just call them up or shoot them an email and they should know what you are talking about...

I believe this is it ?
