Lets get started Shall we?








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

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

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!)

H3 6000W HID Kit WITH ZIP TIES! DASH Z KNOWS US ALL TOO WELL!

HID Kit in Box

Back of the Headlights

Simple connections after being fed though

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.


Close up


STOCK VS LED Projectors with HID KIT

STOCK VS PROJECTORS (1 Projector makes that much light.

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

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!

I will have to pick up a set. Looks like they fixed the problems.

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

Do you have any pics of both of them on? And the light output of both of them?

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.
