Re: Angel Eyes Headlights- Wiring help

Hi there as you can tell I'm not very good at electrics so the single grey wire in the left hand side chop that connector off and add that to the white wire off the main beam and on the right hand side do the same again but what do I do with the red connector ??

Re: Angel Eyes Headlights- Wiring help

Hi there thanks for your reply and your time i was hoping that the new wire loom would keep sidelights on when you put full beam on but if all it does is give me daytime running lights think i will leave it as it is
