I'm proficient with splicing wires/soldering so if theres a DIY on this, would be nice.

Yes...simple way.

This was made specifically for Factory ZL1 cars. Conversion folks we got covered too:

Also noticed that my tire with a leak, I added a couple pounds of air, and the other three tires were down a pound so I tried to add some air, but no air would enter into the tire. Turned up the pressure on the compressor to like 50 lbs and still no air would go into the tire. Some leaked out as I first made contact with the stem valve, but once seated no air entered the tire. Thought that was very odd.

I may do the halo and DRL connection. Love the look and it seems relatively easy and inexpensive. Again, great info, also got to say the look with all three lights on is crazy badass. Seriously mean looking. May go with the all three look.

On 2012 cars and Up they only come on in the day time if your in gear and the brake is off.

I bought the ZL1 harness for the DRL's and fog lights but I need the instructions on how to hook up this harness. I'm not an expert at wiring and need a step-by-step instruction, with pics would be really helpful, thanks.

Installing is easy to do 5 min:

This is all you do, start the car and turn the steering wheel like your making a left turn, turn off the car with the wheel all the way to the lift,

Go to the passenger side wheel, there are 3 small screws in the front of the wheel well, and the under side of the lower grill 4 small screws remove the screws and pull back the plastic wheel well, reach inside there will be a connecter in there that looks like your new harness, disconnect the harness, install the new harness to both sides of the old wires and test if all is good reinstall the 7 small screws and your done.


Here is where it plugs in, its the red line.

Ofer,
This is what I purchased from you and need help with the install of the ZL 1 harness, I need exact instructions on where and how to install each connection with pics, I'm not an expert at wiring, please help!

I just installed the JDP Halo system over the weekend.

How about step-by-step instructions for your ABL light kit?

It's on the passenger side, follow the wires from the DRL or Fogs backwards on that side and you will find the connection. Next time I get in there I'll try to remember to snap a Pic.

Hey evonschu, where did you purchase the DRL/fog lights? Are those the stock headlights/halo? Looks pretty dead on

[evonschu]

Ya they are all about 6K in color.

Headlights = 6K D1S HID Bulbs off Ebay with stock Ballasts
DRLs = 7.5W White LED P13W Bulbs off Ebay
Foglights = 6K H11 HID Kit off Ebay
Halo = is the original color
