AmeriLite Black Xtreme LED Halos Projector Headlights for 2007-2014 Ford Expedition
Novice Install Notes: This is for installation of the Red/Black lines on the lamp to the Expedition Running Lights. You can also install to Fog Lamps, but this thread does not have guidance for Fog Lamp connection.
On my 2009 XLT, the Running Lights are the cord with the light Brown adapter.
I used 18 Guage - 14 cal Quick Slices (Vampire Splice). See photo below.
Red Line is spliced to center wire on Light Brown Adapter. On my vehicle this is the Purple/White line on both the Driver and Passenger side.
Black line is spliced to the line closest to the lock latch on the Light Brown adapter.
- Passenger Side - Black Line is spliced to Green/Black line on Light Brown Adapter.
- Driver Side - Black Line is spliced to Black line on Light Brown Adapter.
I recommend making the splice a couple of inches from the Light Brown adapter so if you mess up you have room for correction. I could be wrong about this, so comments are welcome.
I accidentally tied the Lamp Black line to the third line and it still worked, but the Blinker mode resulted in a "disco" feature where the Halos would blink alternatively to the orange turn light. My thought is that this would likely result in a lower LED life cycle.
