Rtr2, how did you get the headlights working, I decided to go facelift headlights and hood, and I cant seem to figure out the harness as its different. Any Ideas?

Sorry guys I haven't got back yet. The shop sent me some pics so far, and I am pretty impressed. As for the headlights, I purchased a retrofit wiring harness from kabeldaviko.de. The harness was a little pricy, but it is the only way I could get the plugs I needed to make a harness from the original headlight harness to the Fishcake headlights. They plugged part of the harness in, and said that the only thing that did not work was the high beams but fixed that with relays and no errors. As soon as I get back I will take detailed pics of the harness, and make a wiring diagram and up load it.
Awesome !!! your car turned out amazing! Can you post some pics of the harness for those of us trying to make the change? Btw here is mine so far still need to get the hood painted and fenders put on. Also got some new rims on the way
Also Rtr2, have you gotten the Xpipe mod yet to make your car sound like it looks? its awesome and only like $30 for part/60 for install, so it wont break the bank

The shop sent me a couple of basic diagrams, but wait until I get home and get all of the info together for you. This was when they were thinking they were going to have to do a harness from nothing, but discovered that almost all of the lights worked with the small section that they removed from the KABEL harness with only a few mods. The way they are doing this allows this to be plugged directly into the old harness then into the new lights without cutting any wiring which could possibly violate any warranties. IMPORTANT-Kabledivako makes a great product, but are slow shipping. It took me along time to get this part. If you are ordering from them, make arrangements to expedite shipping, and DO NOT start taking everything apart waiting on them as you will be waiting a long time.
I have attached the receipt for the KABEL harness, but you do not need all of this, only a few pieces. I will have the list of parts, the shops final diagram, STAR's complete diagram of every wire including each plug, what each wire is, definitions etc (I paid for this so you will not have to), etc hopefully for you by this weekend.
Remember anyone doing this, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK-I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH YOUR CAR... I recommend taking this to a professional like I did as it could easily destroy electrical systems on you car, SAM unit, warranty, etc. Basically if you F it up, then it is your fault, not mine. On that note good luck.

Awesome job on your car and the valuable info... but the real question is... what the Jags gonna do this season, without MJD you got no running game.

Thanks. As for the Jags, if they win 2 more than last year I will be happy. I have been a season ticket holder for a long time, and after what I saw in the first game I am very happy. I like MJD, and just hope that Toby can do half of what he did. I wish MJD the best, I really enjoyed watching him for the time I was able to. Mr. K has the organization going in the right direction for the first time in a long time.
Sorry for the delay in getting the details of the harness for you, but there have been some issues come up. I made it back from my trip only to find out that a couple of douchebags broke into the shop where my car was, looted several cars, and destroyed my dash stealing the stereo out of it. It is now being repaired again. As soon as I get it out, I will get the info for you. Sorry for the delay.
Diagrams helped tons, got the lights installed and working, albeit a bit janky because I decided to cut and splice.... any updates on your mods rtr2? (with pics please)
It is still in the shop. I am just waiting to get it out.

You can find it cheaper than this one. I only paid $175 for mine shipped.
