Need Help with Headlights !!!!!!

Hey all. I just upgraded my headlights to the 06 from 03. I am having quite a bit of diffuculty now. First of all, my daytime running lights don't work (Canadian G). Second, is that my driver side turn signal is engaging in the fog light area and not in the turn signal area. So pretty much the turn signal on the driver's side is turning on in the fog light area. But only happens when the lights are not on. When I turn the Projectors on, the turn signal is working where it's suppose to be. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Not plug and play for Canadian G's, you have to do some rewiring for the signal lights and the daytime running lights.

pretty much all the wires need to be rewired inorder to be canadian specs, I had a write up for half way then I got so busy with ork that I had it done by larry a local member that is located in ottawa. Larry was the original guy who helped me but I don't hafe his contact anymore. You local mechanic who is good with electronic should know how to rewire it as well.

Where are you located? I would stay away from Cdn Tire...too many bad stories I hear about their service.

Check out www.simoneperformance.com . Give Vic a call and see if he can help you out. Its much cheaper than the stealership!!!
