This is one of the differences between USDM and EUDM - the ebrake does not have any effect on the light of EUDM cars. The DRLs are on with and without the ebrake.

That would suck, my kit is on the way!

Yup. I have a feeling these do not work on JDM, EUDM and Australian cars. Refer to my previous comment too.

I'm assuming the difference is the pin layout on the non-US cars.

I think if you guys took pictures of your stock headlight harness, that would help out @Diode Dynamics

The fix is probably as simple as switching which wires go to which pins (i hope)

Meh

Makes me wonder, even though our cars are built in Japan, it seems all the after market vendors are in the US.

Here you go. These were taken on the passenger side of my RHD car (the side furthest away from the fusebox).

So, I want to order these but just want to make sure....USDM models do not appear to be having any issues, right? Does that sum it up? Or...are there USDM models that are having issues with the kit as well?

Here ya go! Mine worked perfectly fine from the get go!

It was not something that we checked for in our testing process which is done on each unit. Please contact us directly if you encounter any problems with your kit. We believe it's less than 3% of the modules shipped so far, and we've now eliminated the possible point of failure. We'll of course immediately replace any defective units. Thank you.

Again, "auto" setting makes no difference in the way the lights are actually powered, so the module will work just fine in Auto mode.

Will this warranty be extended to modules purchased from other vendors? (I have one coming from FTeightysix hopefully next week). Is there anyway to check it out before actually installing and using it?

There seems to be a difference in the wiring on this A60 connector between G4400BE and G4400GE on pins 2 and 3 :

Are these comparing USDM vs EUDM? Where did you get these diagrams?

Could someone with a USDM BRZ please post a few pics of the stock headlight wiring connector on the driver's side please? Curious to know if all 8 wires look the same.

Thanks banane. It seems The G4400GE manual details the wiring of both RHD and LHD whereas G4400BE only has LHD? Anyone here have the expertise to interpret them? I think it could simply be a matter of changing the spliced wires between the headlight connectors with the wires from the DRL module.
