Seems they just plug if you don't use the indicator, those are an easy solder on one of the wires, what could possibly go wrong.

This is what I found-

https://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewth ... 651&page=3


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
9 is more than a number
