      Doing that wiring job allows you to use flash with out having the lights turned on... as preface computer system isnt programmed to work with facelift headlights to use flash without main beam on

          I just used normal 12v diodes... can get them off ebay... also i chopped the wiring off a dead car for the light plugs with extra wire to do all my work on and then spaded the wires and plugged then into my original wring plug if you dont want to chop into your original harness. And they automatically dim yes

As for the head lights you need to do some wiring to get the high beam working with out your main beam being on. As the old headlights have to bulbs one for main/dipped and one for high beam. The new style run off one bulb for both. But your high beam wire runs the flap inside the headlight that allows more light to pass through the lens. And then also you need a resistor for your led side and drls as for the canbus system. I can tell you how to wire up your headlights so it all works as it should using diodes and resistors but its up to you if you want to cut into your cars wiring or use some plugs like i did off a scrap car and spade them into your cars original plug
                      I’m have trouble finding the brackets needed for preface to face. Are you able to give me a part name/number for them, where to find them please.

                      Thanks.
