morimoto sierra spec kit on 2015 sle install question

[mxracer47y]

alright i apoligize if theres theres an answer on the forum about this already but i ordered a motimoto sierra spec hid kit for my 2015 sierra sle , i purchased it from vled and the sales person told me i wouldnt have any problem installing the kit and using the drl , ive seen some stuff where people have said they work fine that way and ive seen some threads where people said the installed the kit and they just turn the lights on full power everytime they get in the truck (not something I want to do ) Ive also seen the gen5diy harness to move the drl to the fog lights but that's an extra 170 bucks on top of the $170 I spent on the hid kit , so once and for all can someone confirm or deny if you can use the morimoto sierra spec kit with normal drl function without additional modifications ?

Not sure about the Sierra, but my silverado loses the DRL and has low beam on all the time.

Did your kit include the relay harness to wire direct to the battery?

i havent received it yet its in transit , but from the conversation i had with the saleman from vled.com , he said it came with the relay harness and he explained how the capacitor worked , I'm assuming the other threads I saw about the hid kits and drl problems were not morimoto kits ? sorry I'm new to this stuff just want to make sure I've got everything I need before starting install

I also had the spec. kit for my Sierra and could not get it to work. Reinstalled 4 times and never could get the lights to turn on, even sent it back so they could test the kit and they said everything was good, tried a 5th time and still would not work. Customer Support was always saying something is wrong with your truck even when the OEM lights would work before and after the install.

The relay kit should result in that the system will use the HID for both DRL and night time. As long as there is a signal from the factory harness to the relay, the relay will tell the Morimoto kit to light up.

Most people have the exact same problem as you when they hook up the capacitor after the relay. You must go headlight connector to capacitor to relay then to ballast.

 

Cut off the connectors and solder all the connections for guarantee connection

Thanks for the heads up. I solved the problem last week. 2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ LED'S headlights, taillights, fog lights

I was thinking installation error as well. I had no issues connecting mine.
