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.

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

So many more options for anyone willing to take the risk on compatibility and dealing with potentially sketchy vendors (like I did!!)
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.

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!

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?

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?

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.

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

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:

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

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.
