So I just installed mine today. Yes, it is a 10a fuse. It is the second one from the top left. They should have made the harness wiring go vertical instead of horizontal when you plug it in after pulling the original fuse. It was kind of a pain in the arse to close that box! Do you have a pic of your fusebox? That is weird it is different.

It seems like my lights are high by the default setting. Did any of you guys who installed yours have similar experiences? Anyone else lower the beams?

Mine were high too.

Actually another thing I noticed is the blinker seems to project a bit high. I can't tell if it's because of the vertical layout or that's also angled.

Yeah, my car is pretty low and I can see the cutoff on the highway signs lol.
I briefly thought about lowering the beam but meh, didn't bother to. I drive often on backroads with one lane per direction and nobody has flashed me yet.

My confusion is which fuse box do you have to plug the DRL into? There is a fuse box next to the battery, (that would be too easy) and one inside the car. Im guessing its the one inside the car? Please post a pic for the peeps struggling with this. Again I agree these lights were worth the wait. Thanks

One more thing. I noticed in the video that when he turns on the head lights the main projector lamps cascade when they com on.. (1,2,3) mine just turn on all at once. Did I miss something? Do your lights cascade when they turn on?

If you have your lights on when you crank the car, they just turn on. If you have the lights set to auto and it’s dark enough for them to cut on when you crank the car they turn on. But if you have them set to off or if there is enough daylight for auto, they cascade.

Fortunately it is that easy and is the one next to the battery. You just remove the battery cover and cowling and you can access the fuse box. Here is the installation manual in case you don't have it (I could never find it on Morimoto's site). Great pictures and detailed instructions make it a breeze:

Another user had posted it previously but that link doesn't seem to work anymore. Hope that helps.
