iJDMtoy LED DRL install help

does anyone have a video or pictures to go with this? I just got the kit so it's a little bit different from the one listed here. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/ijdmtoy-led-drl-harness-install-w-pics-853543/

I have experience with doing stuff like this so it's not a matter of me not being able to do it, I just need instructions which the kit does not come with. also, where are the factory halogen bulbs at? I'm looking at the back of the headlamp and don't see anything that resembles the back of them.

any help would be appreciated. thanks

I pulled my battery out for easier access to remove the factory stock bulbs. Also my Kit came with two extra extender.cables that aren't.needed. That confused me. You should be able to just plug the harness into the factory drl plugs then wire to the battery. Make sure to ground the two negative cables and thats it. You may be missing something if everything doesn't fit right in. and sorry I don't have pics

thanks. I think I found the halogen bulb on the passenger side. It's extrememly hard to turn and didn't budge with a little force. I read that I'll have to turn it like hell since it's never been out before. Here's to hoping I'm turning the right thing haha

mine was hard as well. Make sure you're turning it counter clockwise. I had to get some vice grips on it to turn mine.

Using mechanic gloves made removing bulbs a lot easier - the problem isn't because you're not strong enough to twist it.

It's because dirt and sand debris could be lodged in there, making it painfully tough to twist with your BARE fingers.
Putting on gloves will allow you to use full force to twist the bulb out without making your fingers turn pink!
