Morimoto XB LED Headlights: Porsche 911 997 Install + Coding Out the Errors

0:00at the Porsche 997.2 with the upgraded adjustable headlight.

0:06So here's the before and after C2. So that's number four, programming. No flashing lights

0:20none of that and I'll go through all the settings. What's up guys? Hey John, we are back in here

0:26with another video. Today we'll be taking a look at the Porsche 997.2 with the upgraded

0:33adjustable headlights. These are the PD-LL. It basically moves left and right up and down too but

0:42they're a little bit tricky. We got the Morimoto headlights right here and these are basically the 992.1

0:50by Zenon that. We can call it by LED. They look great, it. Fantastic. Silver trimmer all the way around.

0:59So you guys can see that. You can see all the little lights and here are the

1:07.2s 997s headlights. So it's a little bit tricky on this one because there is a motor

1:14and what you can do is you can try to code them out. It's a hidden miss on top

1:19with the Porsche stuff but let's see if we can code them out so you don't get any errors. Right

1:24now there's no errors. Errors on the car because of the OEM headlights but if you get these Foxwells

1:30basically a little coder. Got this one on Amazon. You might be able to code them out so

1:38it's a proof of concept and there's very little documentation. Even Morimoto doesn't

1:44have any information on them. I emailed them a week ago and they said talk to Porsche. Porsche

1:50doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to messing with aftermarket headlights. Porsche

1:55technicians that are independent at least around me locally. They said they can't really do it. So

2:02they can try but it's going to be like back and forth and then of course it's going to be

2:06kind of a mess. You're trying to drive your car there. You're going to get air lights

2:09and then you're just going to go back to the OEM headlights. Which is fine. They look great

2:14and especially for Porsche purists. They like it. This is a test with a five lug conversion

2:22on the Z carbon ceramic brakes but so not too crazy about keeping it pure. Do your own

2:31style. Do whatever you want. Do whatever makes you happy. But okay enough with the

2:36intro. Let's get to these install of the headlights. It's actually very easy to

2:41install these headlights mechanically and then I'll show you some things about the DRLs. They're

2:47a little bit weird but let's just do it mechanically first. All right before we start make

2:53sure you have the Porsche light removal tool. So take the carpet out. Once you take the carpet out

3:00it's this tool right here. You basically pluck this out and then you just unmatch it. So it's

3:05very easy. It's very easy to use this tool to plop it out. Also more or less some good

3:13examples on how to take it out. Alright so I'm going to show you how it looks like. You basically

3:19unscrew this thing right here. It's being held by thread so you legitimately unscrew it. Once

3:26you unscrew it you're going to have a little rubber grommet right here. A little like plunger. Pull

3:32it out and you use the tool that I mentioned earlier to hit it from the plunger hole. What that

3:40does is it moves this thing right here. So you can see right here and when that happens you can just

3:48pull it out after you unmatch it. Now which. Now which way do you do you unscrew it

3:52with the tool? Clockwise. Alright so we have the DRL wire that needs to go here. So we have the DRL wire

3:59that needs to go here. So I have this little snake tool. You're going to see where it exits and that's how you're going to get the wire.

4:07This wire right here. There will be one end and the other one goes basically one and then there's two on the other side.

4:15That's going to terminate between both headlights. So plan accordingly.

4:19Alright so I have it kind of in place. It's got the DRL and now we just got to slide and connect that DRL wire and the rest of the wires are just attached to the main harness.

5:10Headlight looks great. It's in there good. It's plugged in. When you see it it goes right in.

5:23Before and after. Alright so the headlights are on. I haven't turned the car on or anything. The next thing I want to tackle is the DRLs.

5:40The DRLs are a little bit tricky because Morimoto does come with a box that you can use.

5:45Something like this. It basically for my understanding measures the voltage and when you turn on the car says hey the car is on because the voltage change.

5:55There's a learning process and so forth. The problem is a car like this is not your daily, daily driver or sometimes it stays on even when the car is off.

6:26and when you plug in a the and then your headlights also turn on.

6:32or the DRLs at least.

6:59That way we can.

6:59That way we can the connection and when the car.

7:28So.

7:30The DRL.

7:59I can get you know the I. So there's a fuse box. Super dark. See if I can adjust the ISO so you can see. So I had the wire kind of hanging out right here. But you can tuck it under the carpet. If you want it too. And I have it hooked up to C2.

8:00Good look at that.

8:03The URLs were.

8:09Then when you have the car on, if you have the dual projection headlights with the swivel

8:17you should get the headlight.

8:20Something about adaptive headlights, should get it.

8:37Should I start it?

8:44You'll get it.

8:46There you go.

8:48Headlight beam

8:49Dynamic cornering light failing

8:51Headlight beam adjustment faulty

8:53Corner light failure

8:55Then you get that blinking

8:57High beam light

8:59So we're going to go for coding I out

9:03Alright

9:05You want to use the Foxwell

9:07Get into the Porsche menu

9:09Let's hit the smart bin

9:11It will automatically detect your model

9:14Hit OK

9:15I know you might not be able to see it, but

9:18After that

9:19Wait until the control unit finishes the list

9:21Here I have 1, 2, 4

9:24And I want to get to the programming

9:26So that's number 4

9:28Programming

9:30Cornering light control systems

9:32That's number 8

9:39There you go

9:41Code app

9:43Coding

9:44Click on that

9:45It's going to read the bin

9:48Headlight beam not activity detected

9:53To not activity detected

9:56And you have these two to be not detected

10:00And then I have F1

10:02You press F1

10:03And then you can change the value

10:05F3 to confirm

10:07F3 to confirm again

10:09So I did that already

10:11Waited 30 seconds

10:13Turned the key off

10:14Took the key off

10:15Waited 30 seconds

10:16Took the key on again

10:17To see if it is

10:19If it stuck

10:20And it looked like it did

10:21Which is great

10:30I'll show you what module you need to uninstall

10:33Or otherwise it will keep pinging the system

10:37So there's this module in here

10:46Need to pull back this carpet

10:49And you'll see that little module right here

10:52I'm not going to be able to get a good view

10:54But what I'm pointing at right there

10:56Unplug the white clip right here

10:58And you should be set

11:01Give it a few drive cycles

11:0410 to 15 minute drive

11:06And should be good

11:08It's a little tight fit right here

11:10Here's the module right there

11:12Here's what I just unplugged

11:14And you can read the number

11:18This controls the swivel

11:21And it's all the way behind there

11:24Could be in your passenger footwell too

11:26Mine's right here

11:27And yeah

11:29See how it goes

11:30Just installed it

11:37This is gateway

11:38Here are the codes

11:44I'm going to like drives, communications

11:46112, 150, 151, 161

11:49In front control systems

11:54Read codes

11:56I'm getting system pass no faults

11:59So there's nothing to clear

12:01Alright

12:03So the only code that I had was

12:08And the control modules

12:15And we've got the gateway controls

12:17Read codes

12:19Up back here again

12:21Let's check cleared

12:22Alright

12:28So

12:30There it is the

12:31Hopefully you all can hear me

12:33The car is kind of loud

12:35But

12:37After changing all the settings

12:39Inside the Turbo S

12:41You can kind of see

12:45It's been on for a bit

12:49No flashing lights

12:51None of that

12:52And I'll go through all the settings

12:54That I showed you

12:56So I'm going to cut to maybe the pictures

12:58Because it was kind of like a

13:00On and off

13:02And you definitely have to unplug

13:04The front system

13:06That was actually something I had had to do

13:09But other than that

13:11So far there's no codes

13:13And let me flash the high beams

13:17You know turn signals

13:19Great

13:21It's on home right now

13:25The URLs are on

13:32No issues

13:34I'm pretty happy

13:36So yeah

13:38One thing I had to do was adjust the headlights

13:41Because they ain't kind of low

13:43Other than that

13:45The flashing blue lights right here

13:47That was really annoying

13:49So glad that's gone

13:51And with the Foxwell

13:53So you can pick this on Amazon

13:55If you guys are interested

13:57I'll put a link down below

14:01On where you can buy one

14:03The one that I used

14:05This exact one I used

14:07To model

14:09That I used to fix all the errors

14:11So sweet

14:13Alright so that concludes the video

14:15I'm on my iPhone

14:17Because I didn't bring my camera

14:19But yes

14:21Drove about 10 minutes

14:23I mean you can't really tell from what

14:25How bright it is

14:27But it is very bright

14:29And it looks great

14:31Installation of these were really good

14:33The coding part was so

14:35Difficult in terms of

14:37Not enough information

14:39Not even more emotos

14:41But if you code out everything

14:43And use a $200 scanner

14:45And you have the hardware

14:47Unplug the sensor

14:49The control module right there

14:51That's all it takes

14:53And

14:55I'm just really happy with the

14:57Overall in-game product

14:59It looks so good

15:01And it works
