All-In-One Harness controls Halos, DRLs, & Side Markers

Thanks Thapilot!

In response to several recent PMs -- there are two different versions of the All-In-One Harness:

1. OEM Side-marker Version
2. LED Side-marker Version.

Both versions include an integrated controller module with jumper settings to let the user select how their Halo's and DRLs are controlled when the HeadLight Switch is left in the AUTO position.

One jumper selects Halo's ON vs. Off during the day
One jumper selects DRLs ON vs. Off during the day
One jumper selects DRL ON vs. Off at night

Also, both versions of the All-In-One Harness include an integrated silicon relay that allows you to connect an external switch to provide ON/OFF control of the DRLs.

The OEM side-marker version of the All-In-One Harness is for Camaro owners who are planning to keep their factory side-markers. This harness ships with a set of dual-intensity LED bulbs that replace the factory filament bulbs.

During the day, the front side-markers are normally OFF, but they Blink ON with turn signal. At night, the front side-markers are ON in low-intensity mode, equal brightness to the factory filament bulbs, and Blink in High Intensity mode with the turn signal.


The LED side-marker version of the All-In-One Harness is for Camaro owners who purchased aftermarket LED side-markers. Aftermarket LED side-markers do not work very well in dual-intensity mode, especially the tinted and ghosted ones.

The LED side-marker version of the All-In-One Harness keeps the front side-markers OFF during the day, but Blinks them ON in full intensity mode when the turn signal is active. At night, they are always ON in full intensity mode, but the blink OFF when the turn signal is active.

Looks like a very interesting product and maybe a little safer than directly putting a t-tap between the side marker and DRL wires to force the DRLs to stay on.

A few questions before I consider buying this though:

1) Is there any place where we can view the install instructions in advance?
2) Is there any extra cost for the high beam bypass?
3) Is the high beam bypass an additional kit, or a variant of the harness?

If you rather, you can PM me the responses. Thanks a lot!

I've PMed you.

Does anyone know of any other harnesses other than this one? I need a harness like this one but from a seller that will either ship via FedEx/UPS or will ship USPS with insurance.

I've just installed this. Aside from some minor issues due to poor splicing of the side marker wires (my fault), it only took about 30 minutes.

This is really a pretty solid product. There are two minor quirks, but nothing major:

1) The side marker turn signals are 180 degrees out of phase with the front fascia's turn signals, but only at night. In other words, when the turn signal turns on in front, the side marker turns off. I think this is because during the day, the harness sends a pulse to tell the signal to turn on when it's normally off, and during night, the harness sends a pulse to tell the signal to turn off when it's normally on. But in both cases, the pulse being used comes from the side marker signal. No big deal, though.

2) The harness tends to fall out of the front fascia and scrape on the road. In the manual, it says it drape the cable over the pins that protrude upward from the bottom of the inside of the fascia, hinting gravity would be sufficient to hold it in place. That's not the case for me (I have a GFX kit, if that makes any difference, idk.) The harness falls whenever I go over a speed bump. This should be an easy fix with some cheap zip ties, though. Also, the harness's sheath is made of very strong plastic, so even though it rubs on the road, not much damage is really done. Still, it's visibly noticeable and not something you'd want to leave unfixed when it's so simple to take care of. :P

EDIT: I should've clarified that I have the LED side marker version. The 1st issue might not exist on the OEM side marker version since instead of turning the side marker on/off at night to form a pulse, it increases the brightness of the side marker using the dual-intensity side marker bulbs that are provided in that version of the kit.

RenegadeXR,

Thanks for the feedback !

With regard to your first observation, that is "working as designed" for the LED sidemarker version of the All-In-One harness. At night, the front side markers are normally ON (operating as Running Lights). To signal a turn, the side marker is turned OFF while the front turn signal is active, and then it turns back ON when the front turn signal is inactive. As such, the front side markers operate Inversely to the front turn signals at night.

During the day, the front side markers are normally OFF, and they turn ON when the front turn signals are active. So, during the day they operate in sync with the front turn signal.

Your suggestion to zip tie the harness in place is a good one. On Camaros with the standard front fascia there haven't been any issues, because the plastic pins that hold the front fascia together provide a secure barrier to keep the harness in place. However, it is clear that that isn't enough for those who have the GFX kit, so we'll update the Install Instructions accordingly.

Best Regards,

I wound up zip-tying one end of the "long branch" connector (near the part where it actually branches off from the "trunk") to the original harness that would normally feed fascia's main power connector. It's hard to explain, but after doing this, the cable had just enough slack to stay put over plastic pins without shifting. Before, it felt like there was almost too much slack somehow. I'll let you know if this holds. If not, the next move is to 3M-tape a pair of black wall-mounted clothes hooks to the inside of the fascia. XD

Thanks

Posting the answer to a recent PM -- the All-In-One Harness does not require any connections to your fuse panel -- all power is supplied by the factory DRL/Sidemarker harness.

All signals are diodes to protect against back-feeding, and bulk capacitors are used to create a clean +12VDC power source from the PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) DRL and Sidemarker power sources.

Happy Modding -- Springtime is almost here !!

Do you have a harness that would:
Keep AAC led side marker at full intensity with lights on.
Flash off/on full intensity (whether they were on or not with lights)

Thanks

Yes they do. I have that harness and it works great.

Is it the all in one, or just a specific one?
