    Brights don't work after AE and LED corner install??

    Last night I finished the installation of all my lighting, the final touches are Xenon fogs, LED sides/corners and Orion V2 Angel Eyes...and it looks absolutely AWESOME!!! The light output in that thing is unreal, however now my brights don't work. WTF? Anyone ever come across this?

    Also, how can I get my DRL's to not run during the day, or to not run at all would be fine too? The AE's look awesome, but less awesome with the DRL's on. Someone said this is something that the dealer can turn off?

    Yes, the dealer can turn your DRLs off.

    Do you have bi-xenon headlights?

    No I don't, the brights are just standard lights.

    How did you wire in the angel eyes and fogs? fogs are wired to shut off when brights come on. Thats the only thing i can think of that you changed that has any connection to the high beams. But i need to know how you wired the Ae's before we can rule that part out. and also if you had to change anything for the fog lights.

    I wired the AE's per the below link, always on. I followed it perfectly and everything works except the brights. When I click them on the fogs go off, the projectors stay on but flicker almost like to a deffierent setting, but no brights. The Xenon fogs were plug and play, hung the ballast in the area behind the light and hooked up the m/f connectors, can't see how they would interfere in the brights.

    Do you have bixenon headlights, or halogen? All running lights/flash to pass lights are halogen, but what are your regular headlights? Also, can you take a picture with headlights on normally, then after you push the stalk forward to power the brights?
    And, have you tried the brights without the fogs on? Just trying to rule things out.

    No, the headlights are HID/Xenon, but the brights are standard halogen. I'll take a pic when I get home tonight of the headlights, from inside the car or of the lights themselves? Not sure if that's a dumb question but... Not sure if i've tried it without the fogs turned on, I will try that as well.

    On/off the subject, do you know anything about LED's? I installed LED corners & sides, both work perfect and look awesome, but when I turn my car on the side markers flash ~4-6 times, both sides...which I think is odd. This never happened with the OEM's.

    Cadeez,
    I am slightly confused. If you have a 2004, the you either have Bi-xenons, or you have halogens. Just xenons (xenon outer bulb that uses the halogen inside bulb as its brights) were used before 04, not during. If you have bixenons, than the xenon (outter) bulb is both low and high beam, and acts like a shutter opening when switched to high beam. Does that make sense? Pls Advise. and i would refer pic from outside the car that shows the light coming from the bulbs. So, maybe dont stand directly in front of the car, but somewhere off to the side that we can still see the light difference. If that doesnt work, then do it from inside against a wall showing the light pattern that is cast.

    D
