magnusonsubie Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I check those 2 you mentioned but they didn’t have what I needed. Hardest plug to source was the JDM and USDM blinker plugs Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah those blinker plugs are definitely a pain to find. I actually have 2 sets of JDM headlights and I'm short just 1 of the plugs for the turn signals. Soldered some wire to one for the time being but I think the solder failed as I was putting the light in. Once the second set of lights shows up I'll be rebuilding the harnesses but for now I just needed something temporary to get it to storage and then to the body shop. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 It's all fit up now. It looks so good! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Wait a second, IIRC, I actually used a USDM rear brake light plug for that. Just slightly cut one of the tab, and it fits perfectly fine. Edit: I did this because I wanted to keep using dual filament bulbs. I actually like to have the amber corner lights at night. It nicely complements the car's look at night IMHO. Edited January 16, 2019 by xt2005bonbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Yeah it looks great! I got some nice inexpensive and quite bright (for what they are) LEDs for the 'lil drl' lights. See https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5854444&postcount=103 Edit: looks like your headlight lenses are darkened? If yes, then it may not be that bright after all. May want to use the crossfire mini this Russian seller has. You may already know about it. Edited January 16, 2019 by xt2005bonbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Wow those are much brighter than the Morimoto LEDs I got in there right now! It's not bad. But I admit if the sun is really out, blue sky and all, they don't stand out thaaaat much. I may install these below (thanks to pyro for recommending these) in the future. Although right now, I am quite pleased with what I have. https://en.hiperlights.ru/cat/fronts/cf-mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't listen though and just ordered from TRS when I was buying other stuff at the same time.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSame. I've got another set of lights on the way that have all the plugs so I'll redo the 1 that I'm missing so that it is truly a plug and play setup and OEM in appearance. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Is that lip polyurethane or fiberglass? I've got a replica lip from an Australian company that is polyurethane so it has some flex to it to go on my facelift front end. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needforsleep Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Woot. I can finally join this thread. I can't figure out how to make high beam just high beam and not DRL and high. Currently, I have it wired so that the LED turns on once the ebrake is down and remains on until ebrake comes back up. High beam behaves like stock (low power DRL and then high beam when engaged). Any ideas please? My car is a 2008 This is my DRL: Edited January 20, 2019 by needforsleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I think in order to not have the highbeams come on as DRL you have to redo wiring under the dash. I have had my high beams disabled since I got my car but since it's an 05 it was easy to just unplug the harness. I know with 08's you have to cut a wire. That's probably your best bet and then set up that white led to come on with the parking lights. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks OEM and is 100% polyurethane so if you do hit it on the ground it flexes rather than shatters. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wire in the "swoop" light of the facelift lights to the parking light you have control via the switch and then can then just unplug the DRL plug under the dash. Having a manual car in the event I stall it I'd rather have the ability to turn all the lights off before restarting the car in to save bulbs from the voltage surge during start. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
