    Did not get switchbacks. I honestly don't like the look. I have it on my Durango when I modded the factory setup.

    I dont know for certain, but I'd assume it taps into the current headlight fuse.

    Humm.. I'm currently trying to figure out how I want to do it, delete factory DRL w/ switchbacks, or no switchbacks and keep factory. If you dont mind, how much did you pay for them? PM if you'd like.

    OH, and did you get the 4.0 projectors?

    I got the better of the two budget retrofits that start at $400. When you add the led strip, the panamera shroud which costs more, and the harnesses, it comes out close to $590. I think I am going to keep my oem lights, which costs $300. There are fees with using paypal and shipping charges for the lights. Overall, probably close to $1000 (if I keep my oem lights).

    Yes I kept my amber DRL cause I like the look with the LEDs, just my thing. I wish I can find amber LEDs without the need of resistors. No my LEDs do not switch back. They stay on like that all the time.

    That goes in ur ignition fuse. You take out your ignition fuse and plug that one in. It's for DRL LED strip.

    Yes it sure does. Just look on the back of the fuse box cover, it tells you.

    With this harness your LED DRLs intensity dim while headlights are on or they are constantly at the same intensity?

    In case this could help, if you check my sig (if on a mobile device, turn sideways to see sigs) I did a DIY on my retrofit. I used an add a fuse in my ignition fuse to power my demon eyes. Although they have switchback capabilities, I didn't want to use it, so they have nothing to do with my DRL's, they are wired independently and are always on if my ignition is on the on position. They do have a sensor that automatically turns them off if my headlights are on.

    That wire replaces the ignition fuse in the fuse box. The other two connectors will plug into the LED connectors on the lights (connectors in the corner of the lights by the orange side reflector). The oraange wire next to the LED connectors on the lights are the switchback wires. If you do decide to install them, you need to splice into the turn signal harness on both sides (red driver side, pink passenger side) and complete the Amber DRL Delete mod.

    The silver plug connected to the projector is the igniter. Its already connected to the bulb so you just need to plug it into the ballasts once you have everything setup. The black connector coming from the same location is the high beam and plugs directly to the relay harness. It will be labaled "high beam".

    Man I really need to make that how to thread for the install lol.

    Love it...very OEM looking. Black painted bowl and chrome bezel.

    Question: In DRL mode, the NEW Halo and LED strip will be on. What about your OEM Amble light? Is it on or off?

    I am leaving the Amber light on. The lights are prewired to make the led strip a switchback in the event that I want to do the amber delete. See Eledobleu's post right above. However, I dislike the look of switchbacks (just my opinion) and I want the led's to be on all the time.
