Any idea on the price of his harnesses?

[BringTheRain403]

I think I paid $75 from him back in March...

Cool. That's a lot cheaper than gen5diy.

All PM's and texts replied to. Relays arriving today for the DRL mod so hopefully start soldering those up this weekend.

 

 

 

Headlights for anyone looking. Probably get a deal with best offer

I have my truck apart this evening and I'm about to install the LED headlights and Gen5diy harness.

 

The Gen5diy harness has a power tap. Anyone know where/what circuit exactly they intend this tap to go?

If i recall, It taps in the X50A Fuse Block, for power.

I figured it went to the X50 panel, just not sure what circuit.

Can't comment on which circuit, though they had install instructions on the site where you buy the harness I think.

This is in their install manual.

Many thanks. If it'd been a snake, it've bit me.

I finished the installation and I've put most of the trim back together. I checked function again and found that the headlights wouldn't come on unless the ignition was turned on. I'm at a loss where to start diagnosing this. They were working without the ignition on earlier.

I almost feel as if this is normal operation thanks to their harness.

 

They use a relay setup I think so it would make sense the headlights would only come on with the ignition on.

 

Rather than use capacitors to make up for the pulse width management they used relays.

 

Personally if you have an SLT truck the harness they sell is over priced and over kill for what you need. You only need two small harnesses with built in resistors and capacitors along with the correct plugs to make the new headlights plug and play while retaining all normal OEM functions for your 2014. Zmnypit is the creator of the harness I am talking about.
