TAS2020 Debut: 78Works LED headlights and taillights

I got the same email. Also ordered from Z1.

My shipment came with the harness, but it wasn't the fuse type, it had connections for the battery and chassis terminal.

Without that harness, you should not have any DRL with your headlights off. But with your headlights on, you should get a dim DRL. So that harness is needed for the brighter DRL only when your headlights are off.

As I mentioned, my 6A fuse blew. So either they supplied the wrong fuse/harness, or I was one of the few to even get a harness?

I do have it connected to battery so it's probably the same fuse issue you had. I'll double check my connections too, or just wait to use the new fuse harness.

I replaced the 6A fuse with a 7.5A fuse as the auto store only had 5A or 7.5A. It seems to be working well so far.

TOKSICK

It was the fuse. Swapped it out with 7.5, all seems good now.

Hopefully the 7.5 are ok to use. Usually fuses are rated a certain amperage to protect the load, in this case the LED’s. LED’s don’t generally pull much current, so I’m surprised the 6A blew. I’m thinking of backing down to a 5A and see what that does.

TOKSICK

Was your original fuse marked as 6A. Mine had no number, but now I'm thinking it might actually be 4A (was pink). I'll try swapping it out with a new 4 or 5 maybe.

You may be right. Looking at an auto fuse chart it jumps from 4A to 5A and then to 7.5A and the 4A is pink.

I thought it had a 6 on the top of the fuse, but it was very hard to make out. I’ll probably replace the 7.5A with the 5A to be safe.

I would rather use this harness as I don’t want to re-run another one not do I want to pull the fuse box to install the one coming.
