Hey guys,

These questions might have already been asked, but can't find any reference here. How do you get rid of the error messages for the parking and high beam lights if you wire the Orion AE directly to the ECU ?

Second, they are many red/white wires in the ecu, which one to use? BTW I'm using the Harness from Umnitza. Thanks


Will

I am thinking of doing this mod too and after reading through the whole thread there are some things that are still a bit uncleared.

Some people are experiencing diodes being too hot, I was wondering if this relates to the type of angel eyes they are running? stock angel eye bulbs vs led angel eye bulbs? I currently am running the Umnitza's VXX led angel eye bulbs and would like to know if the 1N4003 200v diodes will work without overheating?

Also, for the people that have done in so their license plate lights come on as well, did you guys use the same diode?

I don't know a thing about wiring, so any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

I was thinking about the similiar mod and found this thread after posting about the same idea. So I've read through most of the pages and looked at the diy already, my question still: so the AE (license plate lights/if also hooked up) will always turn on if one of the doors are open, or if I hit the interior light switch? as the source/trigger comes from the foot well light.

Putting a relay in can solve the issue if the car is running, but it still doesn't solve the issue if I'm just sitting in the car and decided to turn on the interior lights, but don't want the AE to switch on. Guess it's either on or off with the simple wire and diode connection.
