Hello,
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! I'm working on the installation of some new headlights for the M3W. I'd like to install these headlights because they have an integrated turn signal and I like the look.
Reaching out for some assistance as I have come into some challenges. Any assistance and sassy comments of how this may be beyond my at home skill level are certainly appreciated!
JW Speaker EVO J3 Headlamps Procedure NOTE: This headlight has integrated turn signals and H13 connectors for both the headlights and turn signals
Removal1.) Remove upper OEM headlight trim hardware.
2.) Tip forward and remove OEM headlights from buckets.
3.) Disconnect H4 connector from OEM headlight.
4.) Set aside and store the OEM headlights.
5.) Snipped the H4 connector wires and removed OEM H4 connector.
6.) Snipped red and white wires of the left and right OEM turn signals.
7.) Set aside and store the OEM turn signals.
Installation (so far):1.) Purchased (4) aftermarket H13 connectors with pigtail wires.
2.) Installed and test fit the JW Speaker EVO J3 headlamps to the existing trim ring and buckets.
3.) Reattached existing headlight and turn signal harness ends to the headlight and turn signal connectors on the M3W side.

Existing wires pairing with JW SPEAKER EVO 3 HEADLIGHTEXISTING HEADLIGHT HARNESS• BLUE WIRE WITH RED STRIPE splices via aftermarket H13 to YELLOW WIRE for low beam
• BLUE WIRE WITH WHITE STRIPE splices via aftermarket H13 to WHITE WIRE for high beam
• BLACK WIRE splices via aftermarket H13 to BLACK WIRE for ground
• RED WIRE AT PLUG WITH HEADLIGHT WIRES = not used at the moment
EXISTING TURN SIGNAL WIRES• RED WIRE splices via aftermarket H13 to ORANGE WIRE for front turn
• WHITE WIRE = currently not used at the moment
What’s happening:
• Low beams work when the headlight switch in the passenger area is turned ON
• High beams work when the headlight switch in the passenger area is turned ON and stalk is pushed forward
• Rear turn signals will work if the headlight turn signal is OFF, but is very dim and not bright as normal
• Front turn signals will only work if the headlight switch in the passenger area is turned ON
• Rear turn signals will be bright again if the headlight switch in the passenger area is turned ON
