in my kr i have the lower parkers in the bumper. the parkers in the actual headlights aren't wired up? not sure why. there is a globe in the headlight and wired up to a "female" socket but missing the "male" connector. Can some help with wiring it up.
It is not wired up from factory as the KR series, like the KE to KJ had the parkers on the corners of the front bumper. In the KE to KJ, there are stll holes in the main headlight but no bulbs or bulb holders etc.

Might be able to go to a wrecker and get the bulb assembly with a section of wire from a TR/S Magna or KS Verada and retrofit onto your car. You will then need to wire it up to the existing parkers in the bumper so they turn on at the same time.
Or if you are adventurous, disconnect the existing parkers and connect it to the new ones in the main headlight and then turn the ones in the bumper to daytime running lights.

You mean something like these:

To be honest, I wont want to use anything more than 5 or 6 watts in there due to the heat they generate. Try eBay for the brightest LEDs in the BA9s form.
To do the DRLs properly:
1. Source parker assembly with bulbs from TR/S Magna or KS Verada and retrofit into main headlight
2. Extend the two wires from each side down to the existing parkers in the bumper.
3. Cut the wiring to the existing parkers in the bumper.
4. On one side, solder the extended wires to the source side of the cut wires.
5. On the other side, solder one of the wires as step 4 and the other through a relay (the NC terminal - see notes below).
6. Use an additional wire to connect to an accessories wire on one end and to the power terminal of the relay in step 5.
7. Use another two wires where one end of each is connected to the other end of the power terminal and the other end of each to the +ve terminal of the cut wires on the bulb end in the bumper.
8. Connect the other cut wire on the bulb end in the bumper to ground.
Note: In this way, the power source of the LED DRLs is the accessories power. The relay works in a way that if the car is in accessories mode and the parkers are not on, then the DRLs will be lit and turned off as soon as the parkers are on. If the car is not in accessories mode then the DRLs wont be on regardless if the parkers are on or off.
PM me if you need a detailed diagram.
