APEXi ERO Flasher

[DEGUZZI]

I figured I'd take the time to make this since I know a few people that own these, but have never installed them.




First off, whatever the box says: DO NOT DO

But here's a pic, anyway:


Thanks, Tyler!


Instead, here's a wiring diagram to better illustrate things:




I'll describe the wires as they're displayed on my picture.

ORANGE - Illumination for the dial
RED - Power for the flasher
YELLOW/BLUE - The box portrays them as left/right, but just consider these as where power comes IN to the flasher
GREEN/WHITE - Like the yellow and blue, left/right doesn't matter so consider these as power OUT to the lights
BLACK - Ground


Inside the cabin, I used a fuse tap to get power through a switch, with the the RED and ORANGE wires connected on the other end (so the light on the dial turns on when the flasher is being used)

The same switch also outputs to the coil-side of a relay I have in the engine bay (thin red line connected to relay terminal 86 on the diagram)

The black wire I just have grounded somewhere under the dash/kick panel area


Regarding the relay, I have wire from the battery with an in-line fuse powering the load input (relay terminal 30)
The load output (relay terminal 87/87a) is a thicker single wire that connects to both the YELLOW and BLUE wires

I forgot to draw it in, but the other side of the relay coil (relay terminal 85) is just ground


All that's left are the GREEN and WHITE wires. Doesn't matter which side they power, but run one wire to one light, and the other wire to the other light. Then finish the circuit by grounding the lights locally or onto a common ground.

And that should be about it for the universal install.


But if you wanna be OEM+ like me and use the JDM foglight button here's how I have it setup, and wired with the factory plug:




If you don't know how the switch is wired, I have a thread on that: JDM fog light button to factory fog light circuit




I de-pinned most of the OEM connector besides the middle wires (these are for illumination)

I have power input on the both ends of the switch (left and right in this case)

The [left] side, I have the Flasher ORANGE wire wired with the factory OR/L wire
The [right] side only has the Flasher RED wire

Thus, when the button is pressed, it powers the Flasher, lights up the dial, and runs power to the relay.


The only wires I have coming out of the cabin are the YELLOW, BLUE, GREEN, and WHITE wires. I routed them out the grommet and parallel with the wire harness under the fender.




If you didn't know, the OR/L wire on the OEM connector runs to the FR Fog socket in the engine bay relay box under the air box.
The red wire I have coming out of there and into the relay powering the coil. Not necessary, but it was one less wire to route.



The grey DT connector on the left is (fused) power and ground coming from the battery powering the load and grounding the relay coil.

The thicker red wire on the left is the load output that the YELLOW/BLUE wires need.

Lastly, I have the GREEN and WHITE wires connected to a 2-pin DT connector that splits into 2 power-outs for the lights. And for the lights' grounds, I have the locally grounded to the body.
