What does the orange wire connect to? Red to red, black to black, green to (+) side of headlamp/parking lamp, then there's an orange wire? Thanks!

It allows you to select if the LEDs dim or turn off when the headlights are on. Connect it to positive power if you want the LEDs to dim when the headlights are on or leave it disconnected if you want the LEDs to turn off when the headlights are on.

It is those thin pieces of metal sticking out to each side. I slide the wire through those little holes then apply the solder. The + & - are a bit confusing. What I have found is ....if the LED is laying flat with the + in the right hand corner near you, then the + terminal is on the side opposite you. If you hook it up backwards.....it just won't work, but no damage. Make sure it is heat sinked with thermal grease......otherwise it will burn itself out in just a couple seconds.

I have a turn signal wire I'm connecting the wires provided are black, yellow, brown. My turn signal light has black, white/brown stripe and green/stripe. which connects to which?

That is a statement, not a question. Did you bother hooking it up correctly? There is a lead to go to your positive battery terminal for a reason (charges the capacitor much quicker than the headlight socket plugs can). HID stands for High energy Initial Discharge, those metal boxes on the new wiring need charge to discharge to turn the bulbs on, and then the old cable plugs maintain the light.

The headlight housing itself is made with a connection for the bulb only. Depending on what bulb you use with the housing, the bulb should work with your vehicles pre-existing wiring (assuming h4 halogen bulb?)When I replaced my oem headlight housing, the bulb was fixed to the housing; this housing allows you to just replace the bulbs.The LED side bulbs will need to be wire tapped into your parking lights or turning signals. This will most likely require you to cut two wires in your car in order for them to know when to turn on for them to work.

There is a sensor wire that has to be attached to one of your headlight circuits. Read the instructions again and you'll see where it is. In my Infiniti I took the wire back to the circuit panel and inserted it in the power side for the headlights. If you have easy access to the back of your headlights, you can use their wiring method, either way you have to make sure you are on the + side and not the ground side. Works great.

It has a dimmer wire. From what I read online that's what it's supposed to be for. But when I hooked it into a buddy of mines car, turning the lights on made no difference. I'm not sure if it was because of the car, if maybe that isn't what it's for or because it simply doesn't work.

Sorry for the late response. the head lamps plugged in the same, but the thin row of leds didn't have plug ends you have to splice into your parking lights. it's a little bit of hassle not too difficult. when you tap into those lights use weather proof connectors don't hard wire them to the circuit.

You have 5 wires to the harness....white is the grounding wire.....green with black stripe and brown go to one tail light and yellow and green goes to the other tail light. I can't recall what colors go to the left or right tail light.....just hand twist the wires together ....plug the harness in and touch the ground wire to metal....then turn your turn signal on to make sure it's wired right....it pretty simple.....good luck!

yes three wire. different color. havent looked at them in a while but red black white. i believe the white is for flasher or turn or to be on for high and low beam as well but i put on an indiviual swtich

If right light is red, wiring is correct. If Left is red, it has reverse polarity. If Both are red, there is an open neutral, and if both are white, it has an open ground. I use it in my 5th wheel to check wiring at campgrounds. It has instructions right on the unit.

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

If it is where the camera connects to the wires, there should be a red and a black wire. These will connect to a ground(black) and to the reverse light wire(red) where it connects to the lamp. This is what tells you monitor to switch on. If it is near the stereo end, it will connect to the monitor out wire, usually pink. Hope this helps!

No there are only the red/black leads and the 3rd lead (orange wire) to hook to one of your parking lights. There are no instructions about connecting to an accessory switch. By the way, I hooked up my CTEK battery charger this week and noted the LED's came on so I'll have to disconnect the module at the battery when I want to maintain/charge my battery apparently. Hope this helps -

121325 - Yes there are two black wires coming out of the housing that need to be spliced into the parking light circuit. One of them is the power, and the other is ground. It doesn't matter which is which, since the LED circuit is non polar, but they can't be the same.

On mine, red wire to + and Black wire to - you can try yours either way until it lights up. They only light up when hooked up correctly.

My light just had brown (brown/red) and blue. I used brown/red for positive (red) and blue for negative (closest to black of options provided). It works. I didn't have yellow w/green stripe. Green is usually a ground, but don't know why there would be one on a 12v DC device.
