The new flasher relay allows your turn signals to blink at normal speed.. These newer headlights only have Two Amber blinker bulbs.. Instead of 4 found in the 2006-2010 headlights.

Without the new relay.. You will have FAST Flashers... LoL

At the moment all of us DIY'ers and those who buy this kit, are running the LED's at 100% ..
Usually turned ON with one click of the headlight stalk.. They remain 100% when you turn to the second click to turn on the HID's..

We have one member on here who custom wired in some relays and etc etc to get them to work like OEM..
I dont have the time for that..

So mine are 100% all of the time.. when ON

How long is this promo good through? I'm definitely going to order my set but I have halogen and if I order the fully loaded set will I still have halogen or does it come with the pieces to change me to an HID headlight?

Quick question. I have VLEDS DRL on my current headlights. Will they work with the new ones?

The LED strips are the DRLs on the updated headlights - that's why most people are swapping. So no.

Theoretically, if that's how they are wiring & shipping them...

You would have to undo what ever custom wiring they have done..
Then you have to run your own power source wires to the LED wiring..


Maybe its time for Darrel to start answering everyones questions... LoL

Untrue..... Not on our cars... The LED's are operating stand alone with the Parking Light selection on our headlight stalk..

If your DRL's are not disabled.. They should continue to work as they do now.. After the swap is done.
