LED hedlamp install
I recently bought a set of OSRAM LED headlamps. In process of installing them, and I notice that on the headlamp buckets for my ZR, there are only 2 adjusters,
One vertical, one horizontal. However, the FSM shows 3. But the bucket has provision for only 2 so it appears that it is not a case of missing parts or anything like that. It looks stock.

Re: LED hedlamp install
Dom,
Did you opt for LOAD RESISTORS, or clip/ground the FOG LIGHT RELAY?

Re: LED hedlamp install
Paul,
Just realized I can’t do it that way. Hate idea of clipping wires.

Re: LED hedlamp install
Take a look at the way brother Yun (secondchance) solved this issue with a relay terminal jumper.
He laid hands on my Z when when I switched over to GE LEDs as couple years back and all is well with the fog lamps.

Re: LED hedlamp install
Did mine as well but recall we cut a wire and then grounded it. All is well with fog lights.

Re: LED hedlamp install
First two Zs - mine and dregeguy's - I located fog light ground wire (light green, I think), cut and grounded. Third Z, Phil's, I pulled the fog light relay, bent the ground leg, soldered about 8-10" long wire and grounded it. Both methods worked fine. The latter, relay leg mod, avoided cutting any factory wiring.

Soldering on to relay leg is pretty easy because most, if not all, relay legs have a hole where you can thread a wire before soldering. |
