    Thanks for the Vid. I've had these lights about since you posted this video it looks like and I like them very much... I've run into one issue where the connector on the passenger side did not have a proper seal somewhere and water has seeped in and a portion of the LED strip (connected to the running lights) goes in and out (doesn't throw a code).
    I was wondering if you had eyes on the schematics of the light itself so I can potentially resolve the issue quicker when I take the time to take my bumper off again. I located the pin associated with the running lights and it's showing power so I think the water or corrosion seeped up to the led location itself :(
    any insight helps, thanks

    • @LJsGarage
      @LJsGarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh man! I'm sorry to hear that. They do look nice but troubleshooting stuff like that takes away from the fun. I have not seen a schematic on these and can't even begin to tell you where to go from there with electrical troubleshooting unfortunately

    • @LJsGarage
      @LJsGarage  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The DRLs are the halos on mine. I'm not sure what additional wiring would be needed. Maybe the low beams aren't tied to the DRLs and you have to tie them In?

    • @LJsGarage
      @LJsGarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The adjustments for these are made on the lights themselves they have little "dials/screws" you have to use to manually set them. I never got the chance to make a video on that part but it's pretty similar for most headlights. Hopefully you can find one!

      Mine still has the halogen bulbs and they are plenty for me, I do plan on doing an hid kit here in the near future though since I tend to overdrive the low beam halogens in the corners.

    I have an F20 with the stock halogen bulbs, when I asked if I could switch those to the halo lights they told me that it was not easy as it required to modify stuff in the computer of the car to make that change. Is that true? Or can I just swap it as you did? Thanks!

      @LJsGarage  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can swap it easy! The computer issue can come up and if it does most kits include resistors or relays to fix it and trick the computer that it's the stock bulbs. I didn't even need them and no errors nothing
