Anyone installed Diode Dynamics Elite headlights in a diesel Gladiator?

I've into a problem running the passenger side cable from the headlight bucket to the turn signal connector in our 2023 JTRD.

The videos I can find are all for gas engines. The Ecodiesels have their air intakes, battery boxes, and fuse panels in different locations than the gassers.

The videos say that the turn signal plug is accessed from underneath the truck, but I can't even find that, and it looks like the suggested cable routing is blocked.

So if anyone has installed the Elite headlights in an Ecodiesel maybe they can tell me how you accessed the passenger side turn signal connector, and where you routed the passenger cable.

I put them in mine. But sold it a few months ago. I pulled the plastic wheel wells off to get to everything. Putting everything back was hard. I also added some aftermarket sequential lights to the flares. I believe I tapped into the turn signal of the new sequential lights. I wish they were easier to install, but it took me a few hours all alone in texas heat to do it. Have you reached out to Diode Dynamics yet?

As for routing the cables. I used zip ties and pulled it across the radiator. It wasn't the best choice but I believe it was the the only one.

Also check this video out after the 6 minute mark.

Same here, although not a diesel, I just installed the elite max headlights and I removed the wheel liner and ran the wires along the wiring harness for the fender lights. If you follow those from the fender lights back you find the connector pretty easy with the fender liner out. I did this on both sides and it was pretty simple with the exception of sacrificing a couple of the plastic push pins that were being difficult.

I hope that helps!
