[Marcipaw]

This website seems to be selling those lights for about 290 dollars per light, how legit are they I don't know, play at your own risk. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13759568173

Thanks, great job on the video. Just wanted to confirm beside the wire harness will you need to modify the vag?

Radio Shack has a cheap tool you can buy to push the pins out of most plugs. Also better ones available at better electronic parts store. They are usually only open Mon-Fri tho. Some open on Saturday.

Stl yes we spliced wires I the middle of the adapters. And I ghetto rigged me a pin out of a paper clip bent into a U shape and then filed the ends flat with my drimel tool. I know it's crude but it was effective.

I almost have all the pins out ready to re-pin, question that I am trying to understand is that Jimmy mentioned something about running a wire between the two lights. is that between the 10 and 9 circuits or is that between two other circuits.

Thanks to all that can help me out.

Jimmygez1961,
Is this to stop the lights from flickering? are you really connecting circuit 10 to 9 to the 4 & 7 of the other light? Or am I reading this incorrectly?
