    not sure if that'll work. i'll need to study the theory of operation of this device before i can advise you on how to hook it up. might not get to it for a couple of days though.

    Thanks for looking into this for me.

    I was thinking that I could cut and attach the blue and yellow to the wires leading into the bulbs.. The WT/LG and WT/GY. But I don't know...

    this system was designed for vehicles with one feed for both high beams. the LX uses a seperate feed for each high beam. not sure what will happen when this device is activated and feeds back to the FCM (front control module) which controls the high beams using HSDs (high side drivers). you might need to install diodes between the FCM and where you splice in the device. also not sure if this device will add load to the high beam circuits which could result in DTCs being generated. all i can say is try wiring it the way it says in the device diagram and see what happens. do not solder connections until you are sure everything is working correctly.

    good luck.

    Thanks for getting back to me on this!!

    I talked to some of the technical advisers at a company called SoundOff who makes a rear light flasher I wanted to hook up also. Not only did they tell me that the rear light flasher wouldn't work, but that I needed a very specific type of flasher for the front.

    I'm not going to try and mess around with the wiring to get this one to work. Fortunately for me, both of the flasher units I was attempting to install were given to me, so no big deal.

    Thanks again!!
