Lux 5.1 Installation Question

Boondoggler · 07-11-2010, 10:28 AM

Doing my install later today and had a quick question after examining the kit. It appears this is a newer kit than what's referenced in the install documentation online (which the install instructions say, it appears they have a larger heat sink and have removed the need for the separate fans). Also there are red and black wires on the Lux 5.1 units, but the install instructions show green and brown wires:

From the look of the adapters, I think the red wire on the Lux 5.1 unit goes to the brown wire on the wiring harness and the black wire on the Lux 5.1 unit goes to the green wire on the harness. Can anyone confirm?

sorry i forgot to update the install instruction. There is only 1 way for them to connect now, since 1 side is a shielded wire.

the Red wire goes to the Green
the brown wire goes to the Black

Thanks, I guess I would've figured that out once I had everything open, but figured I'd ask before I got everything apart. Install complete, was easy once I got in there, I've been into the angel eyes before, so it was pretty straight forward. They look great, very bright, even in daylight. Should be getting my Daeos DRL kit this week to complete the project!
