The Morimoto Standalone wiring harnesses are the ideal solution for upgrading headlights on vehicles with finicky headlight systems.
Goodbye to flickering and 'bulb out' warning lamps caused by 'can-bus' systems.
Each canbus headlight harness includes a built-in resistor pack that mimics the characteristics of a standard halogen bulb plugged into your stock harness, tricking the car into thinking nothing has changed.
The Morimoto Standalone wiring harness also features Japanese-made Rubycon 6800uF capacitors to help jump-start the ballasts and keep them running smoothly, using power directly from the vehicle's factory headlight circuit.
Developed specifically with the VW and Euro market in mind, these harnesses are known to work well on newer VW MK5 Golfs, Jettas, BMW E46, etc.
However, the Standalone wiring harnesses do not work well on domestic cars/trucks like Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep.
You need Morimoto's 'Mopar Spec' stuff!
With fewer connections to make compared to a full relay wire harness, even your mom could set this up; it's that easy.
Input here, output there...done.
Sold as a pair, the standalone canbus headlight harnesses come as a pair, one for each side of the car.
They are meant to be used as a substitute for a full relay harness, not in addition to one.
Note that these will not work with vehicles that have DRLs (Daytime Running Lamps) on their low beam circuit due to the pulsed low voltage current.
For vehicles with DRLs on the high beam bulb, there is no problem.
