Retrofit the original LED headlights was created by aliasjp

Hey everyone, I’m new here and happy to join the community!
I have a 2024 Jimny with the original halogen headlights.
I’d really like to retrofit the original LED headlights. Do you have any information on whether and how that could work?
I’d really appreciate any advice or tips.

Sending best wishes from Germany

I have had it working on the bench but not installed it in the car.

The switching logic is different as the halogen bulbs have twin filaments whilst LEDs have a single "filament"and a moving shutter.

Therefore you either have to completely cut up the existing wiring or you have to create an add on relay logic changer that plugs into the existing wiring. I chose the latter and I wired up a relay logic adapter
