Ok, so here's how I wired the LED DRL tubes in the headlights. I thought these LED tubes were simply utilized by the OEM #168-sized front parking light sockets, but they were not. Instead, there was about 10" of red/black pos/neg wires coming out from the back of the headlight through a small hole. The port for the 168 light socket is there, but adding a light bulb in there won't light anything in the housing. I just duct-taped the hole, so there won't by anything going into the headlights. Some of you may want to seal these ports by the sockets installed, and splice the wires into your choice of lighting wire harnesses, but I wanted to these to be PNP as much as possible. My bodyshop mentioned me I could use a LED light bulb socket adater / converter, then splice its wires to the end of the DRL wires. Tested out the idea with my spare adapter I had, and it worked. Happened to visit a tuning shop one time, and they gave me a few adaptors for free.
These are universal 168 LED light bulb adapters. I cut off the connector part for splicing the wires.
Splicing them to the LED wirings.
Connected the socket to my front parking light wire harness. I still need to seal this thing to make it water/dust-proof, but this way I can stay w/o modifying my harness. it will be easy to disconnect it when removing my headlights.
Crappy phone pic but here's how it looks (as a whole after the repair.)
Dude that looks fresh as hell!! and those headlights


I want to see more.
Yea, man!! No swirl marks at all.

I only have crappy cel phone pics atm, but I'll take more pics, when I do a proper shoot with better cameras next time.
Sounds like everything worked out pretty well. Did you have to fight for them to use OEM parts or was that not a thing? Car looks great, I'm happy for ya!
Yeah, pretty much, but I still need to have my car rental service reimbursed, b/c I maxed out the number of rental days haha. The oem fender was $87.98 extr, but I didn't argue with them at all. Idt it mattered since the total repair cost was covered. Thanks, man! I can finally live happily once again haha!
Sounds like it was all a huge PITA to deal with but glad it's over and your car is back! Looks good bro, especially the headlights. I'm excited to see what kind of customization you are planning on the headlights!

Thanks! I wanna at least black house them to my liking, but we'll see haha. I'll be a father in 2 months, so I am & will be getting caught up with taking care of the "real" baby boy, for the most part from now on, but I'll try to keep up w/ my 6gen baby girl in the garage as much as possible tho!
(Was going to post up a few more pics, but I'm running out of time..)
