I can't thank you enough for this video bro. Was pulling my hair out over the instructions sent with these lights, and then the videos they have posted by the actual company are literally just them plugging them in and turning the car on. They should be ashamed of themselves, super low quality support/guides on their behalf. This video is exactly what was needed when installing these headlights. 10/10

Sadly my car has been in the shop since I bought it two weeks ago, but watching your videos has me excited and can’t wait for it to be fixed. It’s also the same color as the one you have. Thank you for sharing!

This was awesome! Was going to buy a new set of the oem headlights, but now I’m now going to get these instead! You should totally keep making more mini videos

the fog lights are separated into two portions, the top half being the dlr and the bottom being the actual fog light. you can hook up the drl LED to the top segment DRL and it should work

great video, glad that you made them work properly despite the lack of instructions and errors from manufacturer. Your car looks great too. I would have liked to see the turn signals in action to see the difference with the OEM ones.

@SimpleCarGuy

You should have 2 loose wires, one connects to ground and the other to the wire that goes for main bulb. This will make your ‘daylight’ (the ring) light up when then headlights are on.

Read up on headlight adjustment to get better details. It's been a while for me. You should be casting an ALMOST level beam 20ft out from car on passenger side with driver side dipped a couple of inches lower. Passenger side is higher to illuminate street signs. Both should be aimed slightly to the side of the road to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

Sounds like your headlight is stuck the ‘brights’ mode. Check to make sure the relay is wired correctly there. Mine wasn’t on one of them. I think it was two thin wires and red went to black and black went to red (obviously shouldn’t). I switched them over and it worked fine since.
