led city light drl light help please! i've searched and am stuck

[9803audiboy905]

so i have finished one side installed the resistors for drl I'm using a 6ohm50w and for the city light I'musing a 10ohm25w. i connected the resistor for the drl to the yellow and brown wire thus crossing through the circuit. for the city light i tapped the other brown wire and then the blue wire. went out to test in on the car and nothing fired up other then the headlight. can anyone chime in as to what i may n\be doing wrong as i am stuck and can't seem to figure this one out. most threads I'm coming across are coming back with dead pictures. thanks in advance



edit; also the onl;y thing to get hot was the resistor for the city lights! not sure if that will help with anyone's response

a picture if you can would really help.


edit: what are you even trying to achieve?

LEDs have specific polarity in contrast to traditional bulbs. There's a chance you have each LED in backwards in each socket.

Otherwise, grab a volt meter and figure out whats going on.

I'm trying to achieve the led's in both city light and Drl location without throwing any codes on the display http://i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p698/KermyD/null_zpsb695028c.jpg (http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/KermyD/media/null_zpsb695028c.jpg.html)http://i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p698/KermyD/null_zps89e0206e.jpg (http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/KermyD/media/null_zps89e0206e.jpg.html)http://i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p698/KermyD/null_zpscb389532.jpg (http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/KermyD/media/null_zpscb389532.jpg.html)http://i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p698/KermyD/null_zps2ee4e901.jpg (http://s1346.photobucket.com/user/KermyD/media/null_zps2ee4e901.jpg.html)

just turned bulbs around and the city light did indeed fire up just fine thank you! i remembered reading about that once you mentioned. is there anyway i can check the DRL at night? or do i have to wait until the morning?

[9803audiboy905]

yes I'm extremely happy now i was getting worried i messed something up not the best when it comes to electrical lol. thanks again for the help guys

It doesn't have to be daylight for the DRL to come on. If the car has OEM xenons, there should be a DRL switch you can twist to right of the headlight switch. Just turn the headlights off, and turn the DRL switch on.
