@Sam-Son If I could do this again I'd go H4's with high lumen bulbs.
I agree the install was a nightmare - there was a mistake in the wiring instructions. Credit to Damien at Rennline / and Francois at Flat 6 - they answered my questions and were excellent so I got there in the end.
FWIW:
This finally worked for me...for the LED surround
LED black wire to ground.
LED yellow wire to green/black turn signal wire.
LED red wire to black/red parking light wire.
I really could not get the black trim rings on though as the last step and at this moment in time have literally no trim rings on, just the plastic below which is less than ideal.
@mdkrp I am not sure how you got those black trim rings on, apparently they were made by Dansk and are discontinued now since they were produced out of spec due to the powder coating. Thankfully some new primed ones were kindly sent to me by Rennline, but now I need to get them color matched by a body shop which isn't great when you've already spent over $1200+ on the headlight set.
@aesmillaAgree overall I question the value due to this, more pressing issue which I wonder have you or anyone experienced? The effectiveness of the high beams...
QUESTION ABOUT ANOTHER BIGGER ISSUE...!
Do you get more visibility in terms of distance? I seem to only get more ambient visibility to the left and right, not straight forward which is what I really want, especially when driving fast on twisties. Anyone else experience this?
