Holy balls. I was looking for c light installs and this guy has one from 3 years ago.

This video will be coming in very handy, very soon :) Just picked up some for myself. I sure hope it's as easy as you made it look 🤞 Thanks

Finally! A install video with limited/ STi headlights. 👍 Just wish you showed where you tied up the drivers. I was gonna put them in the housing, but don't want to have to reopen the headlight to replace if they fail.

Leave them outside of the housing, the drivers get HOT, zip tie them to the sides of the headlight brackets that are metal 🔥

Great job. Going to do this soon. My advice is spend the extra dollar and use heat shrink tubing. Electrical tape comes off over time.

Hey, was wondering if you’ve ever opened up and modded a set of spec d’s for 06/07? I wanna update the dlr led strip cause I got mine second hand and don’t want them to crap out asap on me but it’s hard to find any dlr updates. And what kinda adhesive you use to reseal cause it seems top notch. Thanks

@Smeedia

I have and I never recomened it. The only lights I prefer opening are OEM. Any aftermarket set is made from cheap materials and always prone to leaking after opened

Ok question for you my running lights are my high beams how do I get these as my running lights and turn off the high beams bc you don’t go into detail on how to get everything to work from factory I have led high beams but I’ve been told to just unplug them and I don’t want to have to plug them in every time I want to use them?

I believe that I have the same C-Light kit installed on my 2015 STI, but the high beams still act as the DTRL simultaneously with the C-Light kit. Is there a separate harness that I require for the C-Light kit to act as the DTRL on its own?

(that’s probably a really bad idea, for moisture to get into the headlights) just follow Smeedia, get both the LED cables and the C light cable coming out via the same hole you just drilled and block it up with the sealant thing. good luck man, putting everything together was the most difficult.
