I have been working on buttoning up my 2013 retrofit on my 2012 and the last thing I need to do is swap the headlamps. Not only to look nice but the color difference between the 2012 bulbs and the led fogs are god awful. I know there are a few threads floating around but they died off, I really need information on the harness, Everything I need for them and where to obtain the parts. I already found the plugs and capacitors, Lexiion if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated.

What ya need? There are 2 ways to go about that: Build your own HID conversion harness (I did that - not that difficult) or program your SJB to a 2013 SJB (or buy one off eBay for $70) and just add the wires according to the diagrams. The 2011-2014 SJB's are all the same... Halogen or HID all identical, it's the software that makes the difference.
Let me know what you want to do and I am willing to help you out. I actually have a 2013 SJB that you could use to try.
Or you go full throttle and buy a 2013 V6 light harness and a 2013 SJB and just replace the whole thing.... but $$
I have all the stuff I need to program the sjb as i did the 2013 cluster swap, so we can try that.
Ok. So you need to do the following: Wire the 2013 HIDs up as in the diagrams. Add two 20A fuses for the power (that is part of the BJB for the HIDs - no Software can fix that ) to the HIDs and the rest should be just easy.
If I do the SJB reprograming will that give me the LED switchback?
Yes...
You don't even need to reprogram the SJB for the switchback. That's done through PIN3 at the HIDs. You need to reprogram the SJB for the high beams.. It needs to power the low beams when you are on high beams, as on the HIDs that's just a shutter solenoid.

What about the parking light/turn signal I see that the turn signal bulb uses the same wires as the led appears to use. Did ford slip these wires so I have one for both the bulbs and the leds?
