Perfect! Thanks.

I'm going to stick with my 7.5 for now then. It won't hurt to have the smaller fuse in there, as long as it doesn't blow. If it does, I'll replace it with the 10A. I'm guessing they have a 10A that fits in that holder. I'm not going to replace the harness I originally got with the new fuse box type.

First and foremost s/o to Nextlevelperf I placed my order on Mar 31st so I was expecting my headlights until May, they ended up filling my order early and had them at my door by Apr 16! Don't know why or how but thank you!

The Retrofit Source answered my questions on the whole fuse situation so s/o to them too! Ended up opting to just go to my local autozone and bought a $2 dollar 10A fuse.
Anyways, I took this video a day after installing the lights. Hope you guys like it. (don't mind the monster truck wheel gap lol)

Ok. Now that's a much better video compared tp what have seen so far, and I am starting to change my mind about these. Looks good on a PW.

eastwest2300 · 04-24-2020, 08:06 PM

Excellent video Nestor, thanks for posting that man.

Man that video is giving me second thoughts on these! They are starting to grow on me.

Install video.

Is it me, or are the DRLs not that bright in the daylight?

It may just be the video. Mine seem plenty bright to me.

I can see the DRL's for sure in the reflection of other cars' rear bumpers in the daytime.

Their weakness might be they don't project at a wide angle. I figured that was inevitable with their more vertical arrangement and pretty straight orientation.

So I'm about to install them tomorrow. I see there is a battery tap harness, but The Retrofit Source also sent me a fuse DRL harness too (with 10A fuses).

Based on that install video by HID Express, seems like they're is just using the battery harness only. Do I just disregard the fuse tap harness then?
