Morimoto Bi-LED Headlights (Second Generation Function Explained)
There has been a lot of confusion about the function of the second Generation Morimoto LED headlights for the C6 as related to the "Hockey Stick". I finally had the chance to tinker with a set of the Gen 2s so here's what's going on that's different from the Gen 1
1) The Turn signal function has an auto-off feature that effectively turns off the Amber daytime running light.
2) DRL function STILL requires the running of the fuse-tap harness and the DRL remains active when signaling but is reduced by 50% on the signaling side.
3) Flash-to-Pass function is STILL not functional during the daytime.
Tests have shown that our Correct-Function LED harness is compatible with the Gen 2 headlights with one minor change. There will be an additional wire coming out of your harness that will plug into the single-pin connector for correct DRL function. There will be no need for the fuse-tap harness or any other connections once our harness is installed. With the Radioflyer harness installed, you can expect:
A: Fully automatic Daytime running light function at 100% brightness from the "Hockey Stick"
B: Hockey stick will shut off completely on the signaling side during day or night operation
C: Flash-to-Pass function is restored for Daytime function
I will be altering the harness page to allow for ordering of the Gen 1 or Gen 2 harness. If you are not sure which model you have, simply check if your DRLs are still Amber. If they are, you have the Gen 1 model.
Order your Correct Function harness here and get the lights working the way they should be with a clean engine bay:

I also can't understand why it seems so hard for Morimoto ... but as one of the original users of George's (RadioFlyer) harness for the Gen1 lights, I can testify it works flawlessly. I am very happy!

Are the harnesses no longer avail?
I just installed my Morimoto’s and only the main connect plugged in. My hockey sticks are white at 50% power. The turn is amber sequential.

We currently have harnesses for the Gen 1 headlights available. As soon as I get some of the AMP type connectors in stock, I will be able to make harnesses for the Gen 2 lights that are also plug-and-play (otherwise splicing would void the 5-year warranty). Our Gen 2 harnesses will allow 100% brightness from the factory harness with correct function and Flash-to-Pass restored.

Yes, the Gen 2 system only allows for 50% power to the hockey sticks direct from the factory harness.

Can everyone access the website? It should be working.
I'm looking for customers for the Gen 2 harness. Parts are in-stock and ready to ship.
