Maybe when the FRS 10 Series comes out we can order those lights for less? Maybe? :iono:

Got quoted $4200 yesterday for the lights. Might be cheaper finding them elsewhere.

so the plug that is connected to the drl resistor that is going to the car is the one where you tap the white wires into on the prongs of the connector?

so drl resistor unplug, plug left on the car that normally goes into the drl resistor, tap into those prongs in the connector and it should be good?

any way to get pics of the drl wiring portion? i'm confused as to what's going on here.

Unplug the DRL resistor which is shown in the guide, then tap into the positive side harness. The positive side is colored stripe green for me don't know if it's different for another car.

Thanks for the DIY! Got to install mine today and this made it so much easier.

Yes, two wires, one for each headlight. The way I did it was I tapped the passenger headlight to the green wire in the drl resistor, then I tapped the driver headlight into the passenger's drl line (which was tapped into the drl resistor line). As long as they are both getting power from the positive DRL line you are good, how you do it doesn't matter.

thank you soooo sooo sooo much for your help!!

FYI, if you want a reversible install for the last pin (DRL), find some single pin connectors online. I had a set left over from a motorcycle HID kit I never used and it made everything look even cleaner. Just a suggestion to avoid having to remove the pin from the last wire. :)

dude thank you much for your help! my buddy that was helping me with wiring said your instructions were very good and the pictures also helped for the installation of the pins. gotta admit the usdm pins are a pain compared to teh jdm ones! the DRL are perfect and work as they are supposed to! thank you!

only thing I will mention is that if you have a vortech kit and a perrin oil cooler. the driver side is going to be a pain in the ass with the reservoir that comes with the vortech kit. all i'm saying is it's gonna be squished a bit haha. also the oil lines need to be moved over towards the center to make everything work. the passenger side is gravy!
