For tapping the blinker wire

For someone that doesnt do a lot of electrical these amounts are a lot honestly. If you'd like and I don't mind at all, order the harness and the tap a fuse and send it to us along with he black morimoto boxes. We will modify everything and send it back to you just pay shipping. Everything we listed we have an abundance of.

 

Wow! Thank you so much for your response and offer. The harness was included in what they sent me as well as a couple of the quick splice electrical wire terminals. I don't think the other 2 items were included. I will look closer when I get home and decide if I want to attempt myself. Kind of wish I had come across your website when I was ordering. Thanks again!

 

No problem post up pictures of what you have and ill see if I can help better

 

Here is everything I have



Most of it is very straightforward since it's labeled and/or color coded where it's supposed to go. The only part I'm struggling with is the black switchback box.



Connecting to the headlight is obvious you just plug it in. So for the 3 wires on the other end

Black - ground - I need to splice it into the ground wire on the harness or buy a terminal ring and connect to a bolt

Orange - spliced into blinker wire which is currently on my truck

White - Connected to fuse box with the fuse tap?

Thanks again, still pretty confused how the white wire fits in. I'm also open to suggestions on where to wire it I'm not dead set on making it work with the ignition.

 

The white is why I suggested the harness the way the black box is now leaves you to do a lot of work yourself unfortunately. The previous post parts list would assist you in the black box wiring

 

So the

"add a fuse" connects to the harness red wire and fuse box
white and black wires also goes into the harness
Orange goes to blinker plug
?

Again, sorry for being so slow and thank you for being so much more helpful than the people who retrofitted this for me.

 

Yes just like the pics below, if you had the harness in hand it would be easier to understand

 

Love the legit hi res pics

Thanks for coming by! I always enjoy talking lighting, feel like a nerd sometimes talking about it so much.

 

It looks like the fuse tap should be the other way around at least on my truck since i get power on the inside of the fuse and not on the outside. Is it different for different years? I have a 2014. Turning it the other way I would have to cut a big hole in my fuse box to get it to fit.

 

Keep in mind the position of mine was due to an opening or guide hole I already had. The position of the tap is up to you and what suits your vehicle best.

 

Based on this video around the 7 minute mark the orientation is important or you might "blow a circuit." Is this not the case? It would be way easier for me to position like you have it but I don't want to cause any problems.

 

Video makes sense, I never had an issue with this and I'm sure the reason is because we are lowering very low amp LED halos nothing major, coupled with a relay harness I don't think they pull much amperage at all.

If I were you do it the "safe" way

 

Got the halos wired today. Could never have done it without @kustom54lighting. Had the retrofit done by the retrofit masters but had no idea how to wire what they gave me and they were very slow to respond and not helpful. So glad I posted in this thread as @kustom54lighting wired me a harness to install everything and helped me through the process. The harness made things way easier and works perfectly. And he did all this for free! Highly recommend @kustom54lighting for great customer service

Thank you for the shout out

 

I need to figure out how the demon lights are wired on mine. I'm surprised my driver side demon light went out already and honestly a LED light going out so quick is odd. Anyways, i might need your help if i can't get the driver side to work. I'd probably would just want to disconnect my passenger side demon eye.

 

It's rare for a demon eye to go out completely. If it's bad usually one color goes out. The driver though is likely to go out
