VLAND Wiring question

[SwiTchY86]

Hello,

Yesterday I recieved my bulbs for the VLAND headlights, which are still not on the car. My car is a '13 GT86 and I am from EU, so I have xenon headlights, LHD.

Now I want to install the headlights, but before I do, I want to make sure everything *should* be plug&play.

The things I'm worried of are:

1) How the hell does my blinker work, if it's plug and play, since the OEM headlight doens't have a blinker
2) The functionality of "the boomerang", and how it works when my light switch is set to "Auto"
3) overall "hidden" wiring tricks to watch out for

Can anyone direct me to the right direction when installing, and what to watch out for, wiring-wise?

Thank you in advance

1) If its an FRS i believe you'll have to splice a wire and tap into the side turn signal (everything you need should be included in the box, w/ some super basic instructions)
2) Unfortunately the boomerangs on these headlights only activate in the "parking light" mode and when the headlights are active. they do not act as DRL's out of the box

other then that, should be pretty much "plug and play" mine had a yellow plug what was connected in the wrong place and needed to be swapped around

Hey, yeah installed the lights today.. I must say it really was plug and play from the get go. About the boomerang, I don't really mind it not working when the light switch is set to "off" since I mostly just flick it in auto mode and it does its job. I haven't noticed the boomerang not working, but it was a bit darker outside already. I will check tomorrow if the boomerang works in normal daylight when the switch is set to auto.. if it doesn't work, then I'll just get used to turning the switch.

Thanks for the reply!
