Headlight question

nathom05 · December 26th, 2007, 04:17 PM

ok so i just bought so of those angel eye projection headlights. but there are 4 wires coming off the bottom of the headlight in addition to the actual the plug. i know the wires are for the ring part of the angel eye but i do not know where to splice them into...they did not come with instructions. if anybody could help out with this that would be great.

Depends on if you want the rings to run with parking lights or only headlights. I personally would go with parking since they're on when the headlights are on too. Which way are you wantin to go?

which angel eyes did you go with?

I had them on my car with the HID kit for about a month... they looked neat at first, but I started to hate them. I ended up taking them off and putting new smoked ones on. The only thing I might do is to get the hid kit for the stock assembly. I really like HID for some reason.

I personally would hook them up to the parking lights, and like someone else said a quick splice job is all it takes.

medic_chris85 · December 27th, 2007, 06:47 AM

Yeah the quick splice works well. That's how I did it.

Oh and just a note if the light rings are LEDs make sure you have the polarity correct, they wont blow or anything if it's wrong, they just won't light up.

03StangGT · December 28th, 2007, 02:33 AM

what angel eyes do you guys recommend?

medic_chris85 · December 28th, 2007, 06:36 AM

Me... none. If you do get them, don't get the ones from ebay. I bought them off ebay, and the rubber strip that seals the housing was really lousy so it kept fogging up. If you end up getting them, the ones that are not the dual angel eyes look pretty ok. Another thing that I didn't like about mine was that the part for the angel eyes actually protruded from the dimensions of the stock assembly, and just looked a little silly. There are some that don't though, just take a good look at whatever one you decide on.
