DRL Courtesy Light Adapter Install w/ pictures

[chrisbritt1995]

Hey everybody! I got my courtesy light adapter today and took some pictures of the process! I'll put them in the order I did it.

 

Step 1: Clip the old fuse adapter off below the blue thing.

Step 2: Remove fuse(s) from DRL fuse adapter and put them into courtesy adapter fuse adapter the same way they were in the DRL fuse adapter.

Step 3: Strip about a half inch of the wire jacket off of the DRL fuse adapter wire.

Step 4: Twist the exposed wires into a tight bundle and insert them into the courtesy adapter's pink sleeve thing.

Step 5: Crimp it down tight with pliers and move a lighter flame around the end you crimped so it shrink-wraps around the wire.

Step 6: Remove the driver's side turn signal light and use the extra red wire splicer thing that came with the DRL's to connect the red wire from the courtesy adapter to the middle teal and yellow wire in the turn signal wire harness.

Step 7: Put the new courtesy fuse adapter into the fuse slot you pulled the old one from.

 

I didn't have any left over zip ties, so I used electrical tape to bundle the long red wire and tuck it back in the engine compartment. And boom I was done! Here's a video of them working!
