• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Retrofit EX with SX LED headlights

I have successfully recreated machtig’s halogen to led plug and play conversion harness. The pin diagrams that I provided previously are correct. I also used the voltage regulators that machtig did. The LEDs work flawlessly.

What's your pricing on the harness?

Unfortunately I’m strapped for time right now but I might be able to make some more in the future. They are a bit time consuming. I don’t have a nice mounting solution for the regulator like machtig did. I figure I’ll zip tie it in somewhere. I let you know in the future if I get around to making more. Hopefully it will be soon. The problem is I get the parts from China and it takes FOREVER for them to get here. I will try to draw up some instructions and provide part numbers soon, as well. I get all of my parts / supplies off of AliExpress. The quality is good and the price is right. It just takes a while for everything to ship.
 
Hi Jma9. I have all the parts I need, but I'm having trouble making sense out of the wiring harness. Would you mind sharing your crosswalk to indicate which pins you connected on the pigtails? I would be incredibly grateful. It's the last missing piece in my project. Thank you so much.

I’ll try to post that info this weekend.
 
Thank you so much. A basic wiring diagram would be all I would need. I appreciate your help immensely. I've simply had issues unraveling Macthig's old notes.
 
I finally got both harnesses wired up but I am getting a turn signal hyperflash on the passenger side LED headlight but only when the headlight is on. I’m going to run a resistor inline to see if it stops it. I swapped the lights and harnesses and I know the problems isn’t with either of those. So, still a work in progress.
 
Got the resistors wired in and everything works perfectly now. Haven’t mounted the lights in the vehicle yet but plan on doing it soon. Don’t know why my harness required the resistors and machtig’s didn’t. My telluride is a 2022. I believe his is a 2020. I will post the wiring diagram when I get a chance. Hopefully sometime this week. Its actually not that difficult to make these.

Magnificent. Thank you SO much. I have all the parts. I’m just trying to parse out which pins to connect in the pigtail. I sincerely appreciate your notes.
 
Hope this helps. The diagrams are drawn as if you are looking at the back of the connectors with the locking clips at the top.

You are a godsend. Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help.

Do you mind me asking what resistors you ran parallel for the turn signals? Just curious what resistance I should be aiming for, and how to deal with potential temperature spikes.
 
50w, 6ohm. Pretty much the standard resistors people use for hyperflash.
 
The resistors I used get warm but not super hot. I ran the hazards for about 5 min to test them. I’m going to screw them to some metal body panels in the engine bay.

Hello

If you succeeded in make it and confirm it reliability i am willing to buy it from you i and i have a group of kia telluride in middle east interested in buy it

This is my email sami.sami.ksa284@gmail.com

I have to test these long term in my vehicle. I plan on mounting the lights in my vehicle this weekend and will test them over the next few weeks. I honestly dont think there will be any issues with these.
 
Any update on this? How did the testing go? They work? They hyper flash? Any error codes on dash? I saw someone put some for sale on EBay. Not promoting but might make some for my own. Not 💯 sure yet though. image.webp

I just bought and installed these and so far so good!
