    DRL, Parking, Low and High beam work. But couldn't make the turn signals to work, I added a resistor to stop the hyperblinking but when I try to use the turn signal from the rear it overloads and shuts the system off (meaning this there's isn't enough power in that cable to power both front and rear turn signals)
    I couldn't figure out how to use the turn signal, so I decided to give up:bananadead: there's one last thing to try actually but I had enough of it.

    Wow, you did go the extra mile.

    Are your taillights LED already? If not, I wonder if the total tails harness would work for this problem?

    Don't know. Only my back up light is LED.

    I'm going to try disconnecting the turn signal from the rear assembly to see if that could give me enough power for the front and actually confirm that that is the issue.

    Why couldn’t you just put in a relay to run the turn signals? Use the tail lamp signal for the coil and tap an always live or fuse off the battery for the switch side?

    Not the most elegant but functional?

    Before I sold them I wanted to try one more thing and as it turned out it worked.

    I swapped the rear turn signals for LED's and the circuit evened out, now the headlights are working 100%. I'm going to be posting about it in the thread I created with pictures and all.

    No need to, I swapped the rear turn signals for LED's I bought at O'Reillys and that evened out the circuit. The headlights are now working 100% as they should.

    Wow. This headlight upgrade is not worth it based off what I’ve read. Slap on some high performance halogen bulbs on your 16-19’ and call it a day. Take the extra $1300 you’d spend and buy some stocks. Case closed imo.

    Man, I just received my LED headlamps in the mail yesterday and found out they shipped me the "pro" headlights instead of the standard LED headlights. Does anyone want to buy these so I can re-order the correct lights? They aren't being helpful in authorizing a return but I am still waiting to hear back from them. Should I keep the pro lights or get the standard? Thanks
