6C LED Headlights DRL wiring

Post by golffather »

Retrofitting 6C LED Headlights on 6R

So for the 10pin to 14 pin adaptors, looking to wire the DRL's manually.

On the 14 pin on the 6C:
Pin 10 goes to t46b/43 on J519
Pin 12 goes to t46b/22 on J519

Does anyone know if the output from the J519 is 12v for each of the pins above
This is so that I can provide my own supply

Or is it reduced 5v

Dont want to blow the LED unit !

Thanks

pin 10 should always have about 12V, pin 12 should be the PWM wire. in DRL mode it will have 12V, in parking lights it will have about 5V. Keep in mind, the 5V will be a PWM signal, not a simple 5V signal.

Brilliant thanks mate, just what I needed!

Im not worried about the DRL dimming function, so pin 10 to pin 10 will do me just fine :)
Do I need to wire up both pins for the LED module to function? So 10->10 and 10->12?

Its a quickfix and easy installation, not going full OEM with BCM etc.
