Installing OEM LED DRLs

[ecidiego]

Before I rip it apart - any tips? Do I have to pull the fender liner? Want to order any OEM parts I am going to break in the process.

When I did mine I had some trim tools to remove the fender liner, and used a plastic trim tool to remove the halogen DRL from the fender (there’s some 3M type sticky tape from the factory that adheres the top of the light to the fender). There are a few good YouTube videos showing the process. I didn’t break anything (thankfully) except for a couple of the fender liner push pins so:

-replacement push pins
-trim removal tool
-3M tape (to stick the new DRLs in)
-YouTube video
-couple beers

Here is a really thorough video on removing the DRL.

This is the video I used to replace my turn signals.

If switching from Halogens you will need either resistors or a Jscan. I swapped out halogen fenders for LED fenders but the resistors didn't work for me so I had to go the Jscan route. The Jscan worked and I do not get the bulb out screen anymore (except startup).

Why is the Sport excluded? I have a Sport S Willys and want these turn signals badly!

Hey I am planning on doing the same hopefully soon. Where did you get the LED DRLs? Also please let us know how it goes and any problems or tips you have. Thanks

This is the video I used, similar, but this one shows you how to not remove the entire liner if the other shows otherwise.

I also purchased from another member. If you snoop the classifieds section you’ll likely find one or can even create a wtb post, that’s how I got mine.

Thanks. They came with the wiring you needed?

Correct, the pig tail is identical for both the halogen and the LED.

However, you will need to tell the PCM that you have LED's or they will flicker, fail or throw error codes.

Did you use a jscan?

Same pigtail? Cool. The used ones i bought came with the wiring but it sounds easier to leave existing in place. Thanks.
