Electrical wiring help. Factory xenon headlamps to new DRL spider lights
I have spoken with factory who makes these headlamps and they stated they wont be making for xenon factory equipped witch is a bummer. The representative said I can re wire them and they should work fine. Does any one know the correct way to modify these lights ? I am willing to pay you for your time if thats what it takes. The factory headlights come with 3 different plugs. The drl only comes with one plug.

If you have factory xenons you already have better lights. Why go through the trouble for something that is of lesser quality?

You are 100% right but my head light wiring are corroded and shot. Also dont want to pay 1k each for new headlights.

The 5-pin electrical connector for the wiring is the same. You will probably need to have the front SAM re-coded to disable HID/Xenons.

YES but it is missing the 2 other sockets. I just did some custom work to my head lights and they turned out great. Does not look to good in video or picture but in person they look great. I tired to upload video but it said I need token

Correct - the other two sockets are for the leveling and "steering" which are not present in these aftermarket lights.
