Not sure how to get these wired up. None of these l e d lights have a wiring pigtail. Only a plug
@matafiedАй бұрын
@chadbailey1126 yes unfortunately over time they continue to change products and links, so it's hard to stay on top of it. However what is illustrated in the video is just cutting pigtail and splicing to oem wiring. Thanks for watching, hope this helps

This is the 2nd person I've seen convert these to LED and I can't see why they do not remove the ballast and cut the wire there, giving you plenty of wire to work with. Then put the ballast back for sealing purposes. Wish I had seen this before I ordered a used Ebay ballast for my STS. Well, now I know how to bypass the ballast.
@matafied8 ай бұрын
Yes, the way I did it here is bypassing the ballast. By doing that it avoids a extra possible connection issue from corrosion

Did you get the canbus adapter from Auxito? I looked up my vehicle and they mention a canbus adapter, but I don't see one listed in their products. And much like you said with cheap LEDs from Amazon, I'm sure finding an adapter that works is preferable.

@Chris-pz4mb10 ай бұрын
Instead of soldering the wires you should invest in some 2 port metripak connectors in case you ever need to swap the LED. Just unplug it and add a plug to the new light.

Just ordered the plug and play LED bulbs. Thanks for the code. Will the ballast still have power go to the bulb if it’s bad? Or how are we supposed to run it?
@matafied11 ай бұрын
So the only downside to the plug and play is if the Ballest has issues or is shorted you will have to bypass it the same way in the video. I prefer to bypass it anyway because it removes a failure point

@jettangeles2707 Жыл бұрын
why didn't you just cut the D1S connector from the ballast & solder that to the actual power so that you can still plug & play other led bulbs if you decide to change them out?
@matafied Жыл бұрын
Because the plugs at the ballast were corroded from all the water. So by doing it the way I did I eliminated two points of failure.

What about high beam and low beam? You just drive around with only low beams all the time? Maybe I’m wrong, but that doesn’t look like a dual beam bulb, and I only saw you hook up 2 wires, but you commented on another comment saying it has both high and low beam…? Can you explain?

Great video. Very thorough. I'm about to do this soon. You should change the top "parking lights " to LED as well. It's super simple and it looks way better! I've already changed my parking lights and DRLs to LEDs. So the headlights will be my final step to full LED conversion. Thanks for the video!

One dot of RTV on the base of the bulb will not glue it on. It's only to take up alittle slack and prevent vibration. Not necessary but if the bulb is loose in the socket it will help. Some aftermarket housings have loose tolerance
