Default Morimoto headlight install question.

Just at the tail end of the install. Wiring to the fuse box. The # 6 terminal is taken up by the wiring for the Edelbrock supercharger. ( Exact same jumper )

They will not fit right next to each other.

Any ideas on what other " Accessory " fuse spot I can use?

Thanks

Did you purchase from Cole at Vette Lights? He’s really good about getting back with install support.

I believe you can also use #14 but double check.

These are the two jacks. One in # 6 and one in # 14. barley squeezed in. I carefully bent the posts on each jack back in different directions. You can see from the side that they are both totally seated. Everything works.

Check out the harnesses that allow you to not need the fuse box wire

I thought Morimoto was plug and play into existing headlight harness?

They do plug into regular harness, on both sides. But there is a (Supplied) harness that runs between the two lights and it plugs into fuse box. DRL (HOCKY STICK) lights I thought.

That is correct. Pretty easy. My question was just what fuse to plug it into if the recommended port is already occupied by the supercharger. wiring.
Figured it out and works fine now.
Thanks

No problem at all. I did not take it like that.
That is why I did not reply to his comment above you.
Very happy with these lights though. Love the look. Need to do the alignment and should be all set.
At the tail end of some upgrades on my '10 GS while it is up for the winter here in the NE.
Lights are done, new wheels and tires, 3:42 rear end last fall.
Car just turned 14K and I plan on getting it out more this year.
Hope to install the new Sony head unit Saturday.
Wife just shakes her head every time she walks by me in the garage. That is the best part!
I will get some pics soon hopefully
Thanks

I love the lights too! Next are going to be color matched and ghosted side marker lights. About a month away from placing the order with Cole from Vette Lights.

I just went with the LED bulb upgrade in the side markers. I like the look of the full swap out markers when lit, but I just cannot warm up to that very dark color lens in the day time. If they could do them in something similar to the red and amber I would seriously consider it. I also did the full fog light swap out, and all the LED bulbs in the back with the new complete solid red tail lights.
I purchased from Cole too.

Check with Cole - they can be color matched to the car. Not sure if this picture will post. This is where I first got the idea.
