headlight install

crazyjones · April 24th, 2007, 11:51 PM

I just got dual halo projectors for my car today and i need some help if nebody is willing. I was just wondering how i should wire the 3 LEDs and the halo rings?

97TunedMustang · April 25th, 2007, 12:14 AM

wire em into the 12v+ that goes into the back of each turn signal marker that is always on when the running lights are on. not the one that pulses..obviously

ESG-642T · April 25th, 2007, 02:38 AM

Or,

wire them to a switch so you can have full function of them....

Edit: substitute function for control, damn 1:39am writing papers due tomorrow morning

Ya, how do i figure out which wire is which?

get a test light? pick up a tubed bulb from an auto store for $1 and then set it between the wires and see if something magical happens

crazyjones · April 25th, 2007, 10:40 PM

Haha, drr im not thinkin. Ill just use a voltage tester. Please excuse my absent-mindedness.

Onemanzu · April 25th, 2007, 11:13 PM

that works... i don't have one of those so it didn't cross my mind to suggest it

crazyjones · April 25th, 2007, 11:34 PM

How should i go about connectiong the wires? Theres three seperate positive and negetive wires. I guess i can just tie them into each other, but how should i connect them to the 12v wire?

WLJohnson05 · April 25th, 2007, 11:46 PM

with crimp connectors, or if u are too lazy to do that then twist the ends together and use electrical tape.

to hook em into the 12volt wire u can get connectors that do that i believe, or u can cut away some of the jacket and connect it to the wire, just make sure whatever you do that all bare wire and connections are covered good...you dont want metal touchin that power...

now that you guys are talkin about headlights i thought i might ask this questions...kinda silly .... you guys know where the headlight bulb goes in your headlight...well when you stick the bulb in theres sort of like a thin piece of like a silver glass right in front of it .... if i were to break that would the intensity of the lights be greater ???

crazyjones · April 26th, 2007, 12:29 AM

Ok... I did some searching and i think the connectors ur talking about are called t-taps, they look easy enough to use b/c u dont have to cut the jacket away. thnx for ur help. Ill prolly have pics up tomorrow after i put them in if nebody wants to see.

I dont think my headlights have those since i have an sn95 and im not familiar with urs, but if its real thin i dont think it would help. Do u know what its there for?

stanged out · April 26th, 2007, 12:45 AM

not really in my opinion i guess so you wont stick a bigger bulb

.....

WLJohnson05 · April 26th, 2007, 12:56 AM

its there for reflection, it would prolly make ur lighting worse. what it seems to do is that it reflects the light from the bulb back into the entire shiny housing which throws the light out in front of you spread out.

what your thinkin of is called a scotch lock. they are quite useful for pretty much anything that involves electrical work.

VSR13 · April 26th, 2007, 02:22 AM

ok since were on the topic of headlights...i have an 04 and when sometimes when i turn on the lights the driver side one only lights up a lil bit but then if i flash my high beams it'll turn on sometimes and other times it'll turn completely off...any sugg on wat could b wrong?

WLJohnson05 · April 26th, 2007, 03:18 AM

wire problem, or maybe bulb isnt all the way in, do the general checks right around the socket and see for anything obvious. if it isnt anything like that, my guess would be a short somewhere along the line

flames_blue · April 26th, 2007, 03:44 AM

hey man when you get it done can you send me some pics so that when I do mine I get it right.

crazyjones · April 26th, 2007, 11:26 PM

I decided to have a mechanic do it b/c the headlight was a pain to get off and im very lazy and easily frustrated. Hopefully it'll get done saturday.

flames_blue · April 26th, 2007, 11:27 PM

well do you think you could still take pics of where they're wired to?
