Available Series: NOVA-Series LED Headlights, LUXX-Series LED Headlights, PRO-Series Halogen Headlights.
STEP 2. TAP THE FUSE & INSTALLING OPTIONAL DRL HARNESS
If you are planning to install the optional DRL harness, connect the red wire from the DRL harness (short end to driver side, long end to passenger side).
For more information about wiring the DRL harness, please read our article about How to wire the DRL harness?
In order for the DRL to function during the day, you will need to tap the grey wire into your IGN fuse.

STEP 3. ADJUST HEADLIGHTS LEVEL
Once all light bulb plugs and wires are connected to the new headlights, install your new ALPHAREX headlights to the vehicle. Secure all bolts and reverse the uninstall process to complete installation. Next, aim the headlights at about 25ft against a wall on a level surface for headlights level adjustment.
