Hey there! Well Im still new here and I am in need of some help with these headlights. I got these as a gift from a family member and im not sure how to hook them up. There are 3 red and 3 white wires together and then there is a plug where the high beam is and there is a projector light in there. My ? is how do I hook up those 6 wires and does my factory light get plugged into that plug? Any help is greatly appreciated! Heres some pics. Any other info would be awesome as well.

ok man lets see if we can figure this out..

Ok the 3 red and 3 white are, 3 Pos and 3 Neg to the halos.. one for each halo and 1 for the set of LEDS white is most likely Negative, do a quick test figure out which is which, i don't think it matters but if it doesn't light up one way and does the other well you know..

Your high means would use stock plug and bulb and twist in the light.. you low Beams you just take the bulb off and plug the stock plug into the projector plug..


the corners and runners probably unbolt from the light housing in some way.. my lights are all one unit not sure bout these models.. search from a how to on changing or replacing the runners then that all you will do and screw the bulb into those.. i think that should be it

Hey thanks for the help but im still stuck. Yes the 3 red and 3 white are the pos and neg for the halos and leds. But which wires do i hook those to? Also my regular beam headlights are on the outside and that is where the projector light is. So do i move my regular headlight to the inside where the high beam is and plug the high beam into the projector? Please help im stuck

umm Actually i think the projector are meant for running light not high beams.. so plug your lows into the projector. unless it won't plug in and such then it must be for the high.. i know on every car I've had the Lows were projection or both projection. orrentaion of the light doesn't really matter highs,lows,inside ,outside doesn't matter as long as they all face forward..

Now the Halos to get power to them there are several ways.. (Sperate Function) you can run wire to them from the battery threw a switch, so your Halos can be on and you headlights won't be to give you that nice round light by its self.. or (Together) you can tap these into the power and ground of the headlight connector so they work together and come on when your headlights come on.. or make combos test what leads go to what lights by touching them to the battery and hook the LED leads to the harness and have the halos to the separate power threw the switch.. just a number of ways to do it..

Ok so now i think i understand. Im going to use the projectors as my driving lights? correct? So i will just plug in my lows into the plug of the projector and then put the high beam socket into the housing. I didnt know that the projectors were my driving lights. As far as the wiring can i just hook the leds and halos to my running lights below the headlights? So that way with one click of the headlight switch my running/halo/leds will come on and then with headlight switched turned all the way on projectors will come on as well? Thanks again man, this forum is awsome!

Yeah, the outside(projectors) should be your lows and inside should be your highs. And yes you can tie your halos and led together and splice them into the parking lights. That's what I did with mine.

Alright cool, it shouldnt be that hard to do. I just ordered some leds lights off ebay (ya some cheap ones) and i plan on putting them in when they get here. Anyone know if i will have any trouble putting these in the running lights and corner lamp?

Almost forgot, the corner lights have to be accessed from the back. When I worked on my friend's 99 yukon, I replaced them just by removing a few screws and bending out the grill and using a open end wrench to undo the nut holding the corner lights but in most cases you will have to remove the whole grill.
If those are the correct bulbs for your truck, you should be fine except you might get hyper flashing with the turn signals because the leds draw so little current the truck thinks the bulb is out. Hyper flashing can be fixed with load resistors or an led blinker relay, I think it's called.

Well i guess i will see what happens when i get these leds, should be some time later in the week. Im still not sure how to mount the corner lights because the two studs on the back are not threaded or anything. Its just two studs sticking out with no mounting holes.

i bet there are some nuts on the back of your stock lights.. you'll reuse those and when you screw them on the light it will cut its own threads.. <--dont quote me just guessing thats how some of the emblems are
