First of all, happy Thanksgiving to all the M5 board members. I'm Thankful for my first Thanksgiving as a M5 owner..
In order to celebrate I went out to put my Weisslicht toys on. I put in my new smoked LED side turn signals first. Looks great on carbon black. After a break (it was -2 wind chill here today) I went out to attempt the new halos. I tried to look up the Bimmian instructions but what they say is different than what I have in my box. I had two metal housings with pigtails and some adapters. I took out the old halo lights and I realized something was funky. On my driver side someone had soldered the wires to the plug that attaches to the light housing. From the solder joint two extra wires were just hanging out. The passenger side was soldered as well.
Moving forward I tried the boxed adapters with the ones soldered onto my wires. Nope. I tried modifying the adapters. Still nothing. grrrrrrr SO I decided to keep moving forward. I cut where it was soldered and put a spade connection on either wire. I then put the receptor spade (or whatever they are called) on the end of my new halo light. I tried it out. Halo looks white and good.. :applause: However, I can't just get the halos to be on. :crying:Also illuminated is the high beam housing. Sorry for such a long story but can someone help me out??? Thanks!
Thanks
