What are the wiring terminals on them. Side/dip/main/earth, plus an ignition switched live for the DLR's?

Can't tell you for sure as we've not had these 5 & 3/4's before, with existing 7" you have dip, main earth on a 3 pin H4
plug with separate feeds for the indicators & the DRL's, there is also a wire which will switch the DRL's off as dip beam comes on
which I believe is a UK requirement on new car, not sure about aftermarket

Mine have arrived. They look great and I'm working out how to mod my loom for the DRLs. Fortunately I had the foresight to put spare ingnition
fed fuse in my fusebox.
Only issue I can see is it needs the DRL on for the indicators (and hazard) to work. So either the original indicator stays or I have no front hazards
with ignition off. Really wanted rid of the original indicators as the bulb holders are crap.
Also you need separate sidelights unless you're happy to just rely on the DRLs.

I must admit I had assumed people would probably keep existing indicators & use these simply to be more visible, 7's due usually appear to
carry an invisibility cloak! I guess you could add a separate feed from a permanently live switch to put the DRL's on if wanting to use hazards
without ignition on & without separate indicators - does that make sense?

Decided in the end it wouldn't really be an issue. I would leave the original indicators except I'm sick of taking the covers off to clean
the crap terminals.
PS.. I'm still head scratching on the other thing we discussed

Just picked mine up from next door, look really nice.
As the previous poster has noted, I wanted to use the orange indicator part but not bother with the DLR but found the same issue, you have to power
the DLR to use the indicators. Even having them both on the same lead means the white DLR part blips on power up so I cant do that.
I didn't even think about the issue with hazards if the DLR isn't on with the ignition.
But I still love the main lights and might end up having my side light as the DLR and no indicators using original ones as normal.
I tested the lights with the included can bus lead, is this needed if my car hasn't got can bus? They plug in but I didn't want to test
them without it incase of smoke 
now just to either source some nice smooth housing for them or 3D print my own off.
Does anyone know the amp draw of these units? would be nice if its less of a drain on the tiny bike battery I use.
PS, what country uses the rotating DLR function?

Not sure why the lead is labelled Canbus, I assume because it has some Canbus trickery so can be used with Canbus systems, but the supplier
hasn't given me any information on that, I've emailed them for further information. Just use it with the Canbus lead as per instructions
supplied:-
The main blue/green H4 male plug will fit directly to your existing loom if you already have an H4 female plug as standard on your loom. If you have
any doubt as to the wiring, when looking at the H4 male plug with the pins facing toward you the LH terminal is Earth, the top terminal is feed (+Ve)
for dip/low beam & the RH terminal is feed (+Ve) for main/high beam. The Halo ring will not work if this earth terminal is not connected as the
light is not earthed elsewhere.
Red, Brown, Green wires - The halo ring needs a +Ve feed for the other functions (indicator etc. of the Halo ring to work) – to connect as a daytime
running light (DRL) connect the red wire to an ignition live +Ve supply, such as from the ignition ACC terminal. When connected to a +Ve supply (with
main plug earthed) the Halo ring will come on & gradually increase in brightness, when it reaches full brightness, the light will run in a chasing
ring around the Halo – this may not be legal in your country, check your local regulations - to make the Halo display with just a static ring connect
the Brown wire to +Ve AS WELL AS the red wire.
The green wire is for the indicator feed, simply connect to the +Ve feed for the indicator (Note red wire MUST already have a +Ve feed & main plug
must be earthed for the amber Halo ring to work). With the DRL already on, when the indicator is flashing white Halo will go off & the amber Halo
will flash, as soon as indicator is disconnected (after approx. 0.5 sec) the white DRL Halo will come back on

Cheers russ.
Just done some testing and the amp draw is really nice.
Comparing to a Halford 55/60w bulb which draws 4.4a and 4.9a the led lights draws 1.8a and 2.6a which is a nice power saving on your battery. housing
starts to warm up on full beam after a few minutes to a luke warm heat. DONT LOOK INTO THE BEAM, trying to type this blind.

Hi Russ,
Could you check to see if they are fitting in a standard 5.75" housing.
Mine are about 3mm too small across the lens aperture with these lamps, they do work with a standard 5.75/par46 lamp ok.
Pics(The first pic is my existing lights)
If you have some housings that are compatible, could you let me know (bottom mounted, freestanding).
For use with hazards, a couple of diodes from the feed of the hazard relay and the drl feed to the red+brown wires will activate the circuit without
backfeeding anything, i think electronic relays might be needed to get a correct flash rate though.

Hi Dave
I'm away from the workshop for 10 days, so not in a position to measure one, but the dimensions the manufacturers have given are 137mm across
the lens, 143 to the start of the bevel behind the lens & 145mm to the outer edge of that section, I make that 5.7" so I would expect to
have a small amount of clearance within a 5 & 3/4" housing. I'm not clear from your pics as it looks like neither the old nor the new
units fit within the dia. of the headlamp ring shown, so I'm obviously missing or misunderstanding something. If it is simply a clearance issue
around the lens, would it be possible to open up the front of the headlamp ring slightly with a dremel or similar
We don't do any headlamp bowls for these at present tho' I am looking into a potential supplier - the problem being that no-one wants to
supply empty cases rather than a complete light
I've been made aware that the plastic headlamp bowls in Fury or similar taper too abruptly to allow the LED light fully back into the housing,
but I think the backings can simply be cut away as the light units appear to be fully waterproofed, I am checking with the manufacturer & will
confirm when I get a definite answer

Further to the solution proposed above re the plastic buckets on Fury type vehicles, one of you clever LCB chappies has come up with the following
solution, which gets the lights clear of the buckets without needing to cut them & by lowering the lights a touch keeps them clear of the perspex
covers
"I've made longer mounting/adjusting screws and re-tapped the holes 10mm lower so that the lamps fit further forward and a bit lower to
clear the covers. All quite involved and time consuming but it'll work. Not simple though"
My apologies that the lights are not a dead straightforward fit in all mounting types, but I guess there is a fair bit of variation out there

Just a thought on the Indicator issue. Has anyone tried sending 12v to the override DRL wire (the one that stops the rotating light sequence) and then
tried the indicators? Maybe this is a perm 12v wire and the DRL wire is the 'on' wire?
I will do so tonight, I cannot work out why any manufactured would make a lighting circuit that doesn't let you use the indicators/hazards
without the ignition on.

I've had a measure up, they are 138.5mm across the lens, the mounting ring aperture is 135mm across, and my other lamps are 134.8mm across the
lens.
The lamp fits rearward into the housing fine, and once opened up should be ok in the mounting ring.
I don't fancy trying a dremel on its own to remove that much material & get a good shape, i'm going to try getting the rings into the
lathe to open up the aperture. I can clamp a die grinder into the tool holder, and manually turn the chuck, i don't think i can clamp safely
enough to use the lathe itself.
I would like to know if there is a housing they will fit in with no mods, as mine are getting to the end of their lives and i would like to avoid
having to do this again
