More DRL Mod Help Please
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 11:21 pm
Gents,
Firstly thank you for reading,
I purchased these headlights from OS, really liked the look of the Mustang Inspired DRL option, I have looked over, considered, tested, for some weeks now, buggered if i can get them to work as i imagine them too.
Forscan portion completed, confident in this arena, only outstanding concern is for the last in the BCM, what should i be using, Parkers? Fogs, dedicated DRL,s ?
Considering the real issue the wiring, as its difficult to tidy the last line of BCM up without being assured they are wired correctly.
Each headlight has the standard MX150 plug to match OEM, although only four Pins, 1 of these is active, Projector Led main Low Beam, (resistor contained in the headlight) High beam triggers the projector eyelid to open fully giving the impression of High Beam, No electrical adjustment to Projector up or down.
2 external resin filled boxes 1 for left and 1 for right headlight with an active and earth supply for the DRl portion of each head light, 1 of the boxes contains the indicator interruption for left and right headlight,DRL to orange flasher, assume this is to be tapped into the respective active indicator feed to each headlight.
I have read through the posts on this forum and many others, noted seab speaking of pins at BCM being the clue to what is required going forward, can anybody shed some more light on this?, which loom/plug point on the BCM do i need to look for, .I have spent some time staring at the OEM MX150 headlight connector, I know the 2 pins with active, still buggers me what and how the other earth pins provide the switching/short on the OEM and aftermarket headlight. Any help appreciated, $700 for the headlights and i have essentially done nothing with them under the guise i can sort it out . I coincide, i could do with some guidance, anybody want to help out? PS,, I have some DRL,s on the Grill which i assumed i could jump into supply for either headlight.
Reaps
