changing the lights from xenon to full led, help :(

[XdKia]

Hello, has anyone changed from xenon headlights to full led lights? I have one broken lamp and I want to put on better full led lights Does anyone of you guys know how to do this? What is needed or do I need to change something in the installation? Where can I buy an adapter to change these headlights? Any help is welcome, thank you Photo for reference

I don't think Stinger was ever equipped with xenon headlights. Earlier base models, like my '19, came with headlamps that use halogen bulbs. I did do a xenon conversion, but that's aftermarket.

Anyhow, OEM LED headlamps share the exact same connector plugs, so they will drop in and connect up very easily. Problem is the LED headlights will flicker and the turns systems will blink too fast. These are two separate issues and you'll need a fix for each:

1. For the flickering LED headlights, you will need to install aftermarket modules that addresses this specifically, like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VFHTQF7

2. For the fast blinking of turn signals, you will need to install shunt resistors that mimic the amp draw of the the incandescent bulbs in your original OEM headlamp. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XW6F62X

Note that these are NOT plug-n-play installations. They both require spicing into the existing wiring. The anti-flicker is inserted INLINE between headlight and power source. The turn signal resistors are installed PARALLEL across the +12V and ground wires that go to the turn signals. So you will have to be comfortable with wire splicing and competent enough to do it properly... or find somebody that can.

Thank you, is there any diagram or video how to do it better?

Not that I know of.

I wonder, what happens when the led headlamp burns out in the 22+ gtline?

Is it a bulb that's replaceable or whole assembly needs replacing?

I highly doubt there are any OEM LED headlights that have replaceable elements.

Hello, is there a diagram somewhere how to look it up?
