3G TL Jewel eye retrofit 100% done - Full Pics inside
So im almost done and need a bit of help from someone! I plan to write up a DIY for all those interested but let me just say that it is by no means an easy task. Ive put in probably minimum of 20 hours on these. The adjustment knobs have to be custom made and welded in and the back of the housing has to be rebuilt. Almost 75% of the rear has to be rebuilt.
Basically Im at a point where I need someones help to wire it up to my car! On the jewel eyes there is one connector with 5 pins.
pin 1 - ground
pin 2 - lows
pin 3 - drl
pin 4 - highs
pin 5 - Does nothing.
I want to make a quick connect so I can connect these right into my factory harness. Whoever helps me out will get my full help with anything to do with the jewel eye retro. Once Im done 100% and they are on the car I will write the DIY detailed with all pictures of the process.

Can't help but there's a guy I know locally who is the best of the best when it comes to auto electrical applications. Even better he owns an extensively customized 3G TL so he is pretty familiar with our cars wiring. I'm certain he would be 100% on board for your project.
Where are you located?

^ thanks but im in Canada. I heard its very easy and not that many wires. If im correct and I just learned I can just connect all the grounds and then match the drl wire on the jewel eyes to the drl positive wire coming from the car? So on with the rest of the wires aswell.

Glad you're making progress but is there any valid reason you made a 2nd thread about it? For the most part this has been months of hype. Normally people put a thread up after the mod is done and show pics in retrospect. It seems like you are putting more effort in putting people in suspense than completing your mod.
Not trying to be a jerk btw, I do appreciate the pioneering efforts and you are doing a good job. I just find these threads a bit strange.

So I guess this is what I would do
pin 1 - ground ground them all together it shouldn't matter it's "COMMON" ground anyway
pin 2 - lows wire up to the positive input of the prior to the ballast
pin 3 - drl wire it up to the positive output of the relay harness (I'd suggest using a 9006 male connector to mate properly with the relay harness output. Ground the negative of the relay harness
pin 4 - highs wire it up to the positive output of the bixenon solenoid.
pin 5 - Does nothing.
I can't see why this wouldn't work! I'm excited to see what you have in store! Good luck!
