Finally got my wiring for my lights

[JINO]

Morimoto finally sent my pigtail.
They emailed saying this won't work with my bigbanger and that I should buy the entire harness kit.
Is this true?
Someone told me that this pigtail was all I needed to wire them to my aux switch.

Depends what connector or if there's a connector on the back of those lights. The aux wires are bare ends so youll need to butt splice into the positive line and put a ring terminal end on the ground to the stud by the battery. I've never used a manufacturers harness, besides for their connectors, to connect any lights, they're usually just a bloated bundle of wires.

I throw away or cut off about every wiring harness I get. You only need the connectors that plug into the lights if using Aux switches.

That's what I suspected.
Had a feeling morimoto was trying to upsell their harness, which is not cheap.

The one issue, is that these lights have backlighting, I won't be able to use them without their harness, unless I figure out how to piggyback into my daytime running light wire.

With the correct connection you can.

I wonder if this would work?

I'm not sure I understand what that would do.

It has the DEUTSCH connector you need and all 3 wires you need. Clip off the waffle connector, butt connect red wire to Aux, black to ground and wire tap yellow to fuse box.

This one has 4 wires. I'm trying to figure out which wire goes into my switch. I'm thinking this will take up 2 switches.

I'm guessing red is positive, black is ground, not sure what the yellow and white wires are for.

Oh, in the picture it looks like there are 4 wires. Just temporarily connect red to power, black to ground and one at a time, power the yellow and white to see what it lights up. I would guess that the red powers high beam and white powers low beam. If that's the case, you can't power both at the same time without a specific relay. My LP6s are the same so I just didn't hook up the low beam.

I found this diagram. Seems white is the DRL/backlight. Yellow is dimmer, I think it's suppose to automatically dim the DRL when it starts getting dark out.
So I guess I'll use 1 switch for red (main) and another switch for white (DRL).
