DUMBASS ALERT: Received my OEM-style w/ HID kit today. Thanks, Ed! Questions for the experts...
The parts included with the HID kit kinda gave me pause so I installed the regular light set only for now. May get to it later, may sell the HID kit. We'll see. Didn't make much sense to me, install wise, and had limited time today.
Removed the grill in about 2 minutes following instructions I found here. The removal of the light made sense to me and I disconnected the wiring. Made a BIG mistake by mixing the parts from the HID kit with the regular light parts; actually, they were all in separate bubble wrap bundles and I wasn't sure what went with what.
I used the "three arm harness/adapter" thing to install the lights, which seemed pretty straight forward, and no other parts or wires. Everything seemed to connect -- the larger plugs to the larger receptacle, the smaller to the smaller. Took me a while to realize I needed to use the existing bulbs from the existing lights... :facepalm:
(and we absolutely confirm this was above my paygrade)
The lights all seem to work, but I get error messages saying to check the left and right DRLs. Also, the headlights seem to be at about 50% power when turned on. And should the amber lights and regular headlights be on when it's a DRL only situation? (Auto lights off, headlights not on)
Lastly: is everything in the pic part of the HID kit, or should some of it been used in the non-HID install?
