IGNIS HEAD LIGHTS – ZETA TO ALFA UPGRADATION.
Continues …
COMPLETE – DIY- PROCESS:
As I have already Shared /Described some of the steps carried out, and without repeating the same, would like to summarize
FINALLY here:
1. Removed the Battery terminal, first Negative and then Positive.
2. Removed the front bumper along with grill fully after carefully removing the Fastener Clips / 10mm bolts from Top, Down and Fender sides, also after detaching Fog Light couplers. (Safely kept all the Fasters and Bolts)
3. Removed the Headlights from both sides after removing those three 10mm bolts and by detaching parking light / indicator light couplers.
4. Made ready the wiring harness in the aftermarket ALFA headlights Right and Left sides RESPECTIVELY by checking all the inputs with my old Laptop 12V adopter, insulating neatly with Polyolefin tubes.
5. Installed the new lights in their respective position and connected the center points as it is a dual head light controller setup. And the joints were neatly insulated, covered with black poly sheet for neat looking and more water proofing, tucked inside the frame.
6. The Parking and DRLs 'Dim while HL- ON' connections connected to OE Parking coupler by simply inserting and insulating it without wire cutting at both sides. Covered them and the right side unconnected 3 PIN with black poly sheet to protect from water & hide them.
7. Connected the Main Battery terminals, along with positive and negative wires of the DIM/DIP Controller at the LEFT side HL, also negative of the DRLs. to Battery.
8. Connected the 3 PIN coupler to Left side HL, provided via controller.
9. Checked the HL DIM/DIM and parking – Okay.
10. Opened the engine side FUSE BOX, identified the ACC as at the Blue wire, neatly inserted the DRLs Positive, carefully covered and closed the lid. (Please note, this has to be done while engine is OFF and also the Ignition ACC position as well to ensure the DRLs should be ON only when the IGNITION is in ACC mode or while Engine is running. Found, everything okay.
