    Hey Guys-
    I'm looking for a thread that details wiring install w/ pics on a Morimoto kit.
    I have DS2 4.0 w/ switchbacks-no halos -set up in '12 ome lights. I want the switchback to go from solid white while engine is on to amber flash with turn signal indicators; I also have the Exchange Switchback drivers(recommend) to facilitate.
    I'm good on actual headlight build- just not in my comfort zone on the wiring install. Can anyone guide me along to a good thread?
    Anyone local to Pasadena/Monrovia Ca area interested in helping a member out?:anonymous:o_O:thumbsup:

    The wiring part pretty much everything is installed with the headlights just need help what goes where I understand where you connect it to the battery and to ground it to a bolt in your hood bay. I looked up the directions on the Morimoto site it says its a plug and play harness but its still possible to connect the wiring to the wrong connectors. I just don't wanna take a chance and burn up my brand new head lights. :annoyed:

    So oem input on the harness goes to your factory low beam wiring on the driver side

    Passenger side low beam plug is left unplugged.

    Run the harness to both sides and connect plugs labeled ballasts to the ballasts.

    High beam to high beam
