I figured it had more to do with the negative polarity than anything else. I've read about loose grounds but this is a plug and jack setup so that didn't sound right since there was no place for a ground to be tightened.

Being kind of cheap and not liking to be limited on my choices... I decided to consider cutting my harness and reverse the wires. But for some reason having a chopped harness bothers me more than rolling fenders swapping turbos etc. It just seems ghetto to me.

So without further adieu..... This is how to do it right.....

So before we start these are the tools I used. Two jewelers screw drivers


This is one of my cheap ebay bulbs I bought for under $5/pair.




Note: The DRL plug is next to the large plug on the headlight. You can find it easily by following it back from the bulb cover. It has about 6 wires coming out of the back of it even though we only use two. You can pull it apart by squeezing the clips and pulling on the plug not the wires.






Starting on the Driver's Side we will be swapping the light blue and the black wires.




gently pry up the retaining clip and remove it. Don't lose it you'll need to put it back in when your done. This keeps the pin locks in place.





In side here there are small plastic tabs that hold your pins in place. They rest up against the metal pins inside. Very carefully you're going to slide your smallest screwdriver in there to lift them away from the pin. DO NOT put any pressure on these guys cause they will break. You literally just slide your screw driver in there. You won't even feel them snap open.

When your screw driver is in there you can then just pull the pin out of the rear of the plug.










Now do the same for the other wire.....

Swap their positions and push them back in.....

Be sure to place smooth side out. You'll actually feel a very light snap when they are seated. If need be, you can push them in with one of your screwdrivers.




Be sure to put the retainer back in. Snap everything back together swap out your bulbs and test fire.....








Much of the same on the passenger side but with the water bottle in the way it took one extra step.... And here we will be swapping Black and Yellow wires.




Because the water bottle was in the way I couldn't pull the wire out by hand so I used the small one to release the pin and the slightly larger one to push the pin out.







All done and working. And best of all no wires were harmed in the making of this film ha ha ha
