Sorry to bring up an old thread, I just got my hands on a used set of Release Series Headlights. Could you elaborate on how to added back the low-watt lead? Right now my LED bar is blinding at night as you mentioned. I'm no electrician, so any help put in the simplest form or a picture is greatly appreciated!

sorry for the very late reply, I'm not here often

it's been years since i've done anything with this but i will try and find my notes. i stared at the wiring diagram for hours figuring this out. The party trick is that you need to Retrofit the existing wires onto a new plug that came from a vehicle properly equipped for factory hids
