Front LED .2 Conversion Owners Please Come In! (Photos included)
Okay so unfortunately (or fortunately) I had to make a new thread.
I now am hung up with my install. I am sort of dissappointed in the amount of help I am getting here considering I know over 100+ people on this board have these lights installed.
I am able to get the turn signals and the center light bar to work. Where I run into an issue is the "fog" light led strip on the bottom.
I have posted pictures so you guys can see what I mean.
PLEASE someone tell me what I am doing wrong so I can get these in and move on with my life. Clearly, the lights work (and look AWESOME btw) but without the Fogs working properly it's a bust.
Photo 1- the three connections once OEM lens is removed
Photo 2- the center light bar ("DRL") up and running properly
Photo 3- the turn signal bulb up and running properly
Photo 4- WTF!!!! This is where I get hung up. I removed this bulb and housing from the OEM lens, removed the bulb and now am stuck with two pieces that clearly do NOT go together. I am sure I am missing something simple and stupid which is why I just want to hurry up and get this over with. I will put these in tonight at 1am if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.
Please see the attached photos - TIA

That part on the OEM connection on the right of the pic that holds the bulb in also needs to be unplugged from the harness holding it. That way you can plug in the new DRL. Hold down the base of the OEM harness near the wires and push in both of those side tabs to disengage it from the portion that holds the old Incandescent bulb. Pull the old bulb holder and the harness apart while holding down the tabs. Makes sense? Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for your response and yes, this makes PERFECT sense and is exactly what I thought the problem was. (Assuming you are referring to the last picture I posted)- I guess I'm rushing and didnt see the side tabs where I can release it because I was messing with it for a good ten minutes and couldn't seem to get it to disconnect. Ok here I go to try again!
