Brand new in the Box 02-1-2010

Few Quick Notes.

Mounting Bracket Seems Heavly Reinforced from Previous Models.
4 Wires to splice into parking lights (for LED's and Halos) the 4 wires have Plastic tips on 3 of them? and 1 that has the wire exposed

Removing the back of the Bulb holder is different (like a flat disc)

Update #1. 1.) The Rubber Disc Pops off with Little Pressure from a Flat Head Exposing the Bulb assembly . 2.) there are 2 Screws on the back for Aiming the Halo. 3.) Test Fitted H3 HID Bulb. Fits Perfectly.

Update #2. 1.) I ordered a H3 HID 6000W Kit with mine. so i had to cut about a Quartersize hole in the back of the Rubber disk that is covering the Bulb. But the Rubber part on the HID kit fits into it with alittle Cutting. so to keep in Waterproof (I LIVE IN FLORIDA! Hurricanes man!!) 2.) Heading to Autozone to buy some of the Auto splicer kits. 3.) NEW PHOTOS!

Cut about a quarter Sized Hole in the Rubber disk to allow the HID blub and Wires to fit thought freely

What the Rubber disk SHOULD look like after you cut the hole and fed the wires through and had the First Circle of the HID rubber disk thingy to fit into (To keep waterproof)

Reinforced Mounting Bracket (HELL YEAH!)

UPDATE #3 I finished splicing the Driver side and installing them here are the Steps

Here you Remove the HIGH BEAM Bulb that is in the Stock harness. with these projectors comes an extra plug that plugs INTO where the old bulb was.

Bulb removed

Smart to place a towel under it as to not scratch your paint (I F**&ed up last time lol)

Reattach the Bolts.

The 4 Wires that need to be spliced into the Parking lights (3 have rubber tips!?)

Thats because someone pulled the last one off or it fell off. its not a rubber tip but the insulator of the wire has been pre-cut to ease install so you just pull it off and you have un-frayed wire to work with.

GET SOME NON-BLURY AS HELL PICS FOR ALL THE IMPORTANT PARTS! :th_thumbsup-wink:

Get a new wall to post pictures of the light output on.

Preferably one without bricks or at least a more consistent surface/colour.

yeah the rubber tips come right off

FYI BLACK IS NEG - and the GROUND (BLACK TO BLACK)
WHITE IS POS+ (WHITE TO BLUE)

Parking lights wise DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE BROWN CORD!
 
Take a picture of the mounting bracket with the macro on.

Find a new wall to take pictures of the light output.

THANKS!
 


Forsome Reason i had to Wire the Halos & LEDs to the Low beams instead of the parking lights


odd.

and if your Turn signil stops working

Unplug your parking light and TURN IT AROUND.

The Aiming of the headlights is annoying
 


Take some pics from about 25 feet away from the wall. That will tell us how good the cut off is. So far they look ok.
