    Hi TW,
    Hope everyone is staying Corona free. I’m getting into some Sierra Nevada.

    I made these headlights from a new set of TYC capa certified lamps.

    5A38C3F3-ABD1-4559-8926-61E83873BBC4.jpg

    This is how I have it all plugged together right now.

    I feel like I have all the parts I’m supposed to have, but I’m having trouble getting the lights to actually work.

    I haven’t even begun trying to mess with the halos yet, so please feel free to shed some uh... light... on where I could/should wire that in as well.

    I have simply pulled the h4 plugs out of the lights in my truck and set the new lights in the bay to try and get them to light up before bothering to take out the old lights and actually install.

    Maybe someone can tell me for certain what wires of my black/red/white plugs on my new lights go to the
    passenger side: RW/RG/RY
    and driver side: RBlue/RG/RY.

    THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP!

    Johnny

    It’s a lot of chrome, I know. I figure once I prove I have function I can worry about paint.

    You might (will) have an issue with the wire input to the HID controller. The vehicle H4 plug has one Positive and 2 negatives. (it's inverted to the "usual" connections.)

    Oh man, if this shows an obvious solution to anyone, I would love to be walked through it.

    Caribe, do you think the relays in this image are something that I’m missing?
