need DRL Help ASAP!

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 01:29 PM

OKay i just installed the kit now on my 99. The cars starts thanks god. theres no DRL's. The head lights are very dim though then the SVS light comes on. I turn the car off and the DIM headlights come on and wont go off w/ out disconnecting the batt. I doubled checked my wireing and nothing poped out at me. Also could i use a wire nut instead of the blue splicer things? Thanks Justin

Don't you dare use a wire nut in a car.

Triple check crimps and connections, 99% of the problems are with that. They test the kits before shipping but I suppose somehow during shipping theres a slight chance of damage?

Shoot Mike & Kent a PM / email they are quick to respond generally.

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 01:36 PM

I dont have there names....

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 01:36 PM

Yes, definately check the crimps! I am crimp god and command you to! That solved all my problems, that and the fact that someone were a few wires I crimped wrong.

If you have to crimp the whole thing over again -- or solder.

Just make sure all the wires are hooked up the way they should be and then check to make sure you have good crimps..

And, as Seth said, try shooting Mike and Kent an e-mail/PM.

Not sure what motivated you to do that but as long as connections are good...

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 01:44 PM

I bought the kit of someone else and didnt want them so close together....it was drving me nuts. ill go solder the damn it...should of done it to start with huh?

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 01:45 PM

Adding wire won't hurt it... A couple of my wires were on their last limb and I added wire on to them so I had more room to play with. Works like a charm.

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 01:46 PM

Well, if you know how to solder, then yes! Otherwise practice before you do. I wish I would have done it now, but I didn't know how to at the time. Hell, I still can't hold the soldering pen and try to connect two wires.. I always leave it in it's cradle and do it like that.. haha

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 01:48 PM

can i solder the three wires together?

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 01:52 PM

The three wires? What three wires?

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 02:01 PM

like when you have to spilce in to one...like you have the one from the kit that has to be spliced in to the harness one. just kit the harness and soder them that way.

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 02:17 PM

... if I understand you correctly, then yes...

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 03:01 PM

okay which wire is for the left headlight....its the only one that is dim?

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 03:17 PM

and the lights are still staying on.....i have 3 wires left.....

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 03:21 PM

Green99GT · 04-16-2003, 03:58 PM

i feel like a dumb a$$. i just spent and extra 2.5 hrs soldering when all i had to do was bend over the right pin on the relay.....i took for granted it was the one in the middle cause how would you ben over the others....well im good to go thanks.

Panacea · 04-16-2003, 04:01 PM
