Does the OEM 2019/2020 fit 2017 model with LEDs?

Mine is an early 2016 but the wiring should be the same. Did yours include any kind of adapter harnesses with them to go between the headlight and the factory connector?

Quality of products out of China can vary greatly; just because they look the same visually on the outside, they may still be different electronics/wiring wise.

Dralaayounis 05-29-2020 06:49 PM

Yes i have the connection between them..but it shouldn't be use for my lights type ..also for yours..did you use them?

Dralaayounis 05-29-2020 06:52 PM

According to instructions you shouldn't use them..i have the same instructions manual of your lights..but the problem of mine they are flickering..did you use the adapter or you connect the lights direct as i did?

Yes, plugged in direct and with the two internal pigtails (red & green) unplugged per the instructions. Mine don't flicker at all.

I don't have a PDF of the install doc, but I can put one together from my physical copy. I'll also try to get more night shots this evening.

Can you confirm who the seller was on ebay? The link you initially listed is currently dead unfortunately

Here is the current item from the same seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274312415442

And here is the seller's eBay page: https://ebay.com/usr/asianbodykits

Awesome, thank you!

Was it a straight plug and play into your original halogen set up? Also was the that the same price you paid? And in asking that just curious if they went up. Not asking for what you paid if that makes sense.

Again, THANK YOU!

Just got a response from the seller on ebay... sent me the following document (below). This looks different than what you received.... and in the reply he said the following regarding working in the US: "Yes should be same. Before we sold to US customer"

Interesting! Looks like they've added some additional wiring since I received mine in January.

Doesn't look too complicated, although it was direct connect for me.

Ya thats exactly what I was thinking, the wiring is different. Did you have to run a power wire from the headlight to the battery?

No I didn't. That whole second photo looks like extra stuff.

Ya looks completely different, and he said its not plug and play....

I sent him the PDF you attached to the thread and let him know that what he is sending is different than the other installations I have seen here in the US.

Just to confirm yours was plug and play... and was an upgrade from halogen to LED?

diamondsilver16 06-01-2020 01:38 AM

Yes, as already mentioned several times in this thread (including a photo), I started with the stock halogen lights.

I am NOT affiliated with the seller or associated with any other aspect regarding the sale of these lights.

I bought mine, they work great, wanted to share my experience with the group. I can't guarantee to anyone that their experience will be the same as mine.

I apologize if you thought I was questioning you. I am not questioning you whatsoever. I just got thrown off when the seller sent those images that were different, and now really questioning the seller.

I 100% appreciate that you took the time to post your experience to the thread, and all the time you’ve taken to answer my questions. I really am grateful. Again, I thank you.

No worries! I'm just not sure why it would have changed. Maybe they switched suppliers on the manufacturing side?

Dralaayounis 06-01-2020 12:23 PM

This is very dangerous to the sam..you may have problems in the future..and its complicated ..the right solution for flickring is to install software on the sam for the new lights via star system (online software) you need specialist for this..my lights is working now

Yeah you DEFINITELY got something completely different from mine then, at least electronically.

I'm glad it sounds like I got the 'simple' ones!

Oh, if you originally had the halogen lights, I made a pinout of the factory connector to better understand the signals. My aftermarket headlights work with my existing wiring:

mine are working the same now..but i commented to the 2nd picture of crc901..its dangerous to make such connection..and what i understood; the lights works plug and play on halogen lights for US cars not for the European, its need software as i did to my car..but for semi led and full led cars it works plug and play also without any software for both US and Europe cars.

ya I wish I could 100% get what you got.

he came back saying he sent the wrong file... I just dont know if I can trust it... that’s to much money to risk not knowing lol. Just the fact he is unsure on top of language barrier worries me.
