Okay, Im well aware its a friday night and probably NO ONE will read this or respond...but I need some help. I am hooking up my angel eye headlights and Im not sure how to connect the wire(s) coming from the halo to the car wiring....make sense? There is a black and a red wire coming from the headlight...how and where do I connect this to...obviously I dont have to connect the halo up but I wanna get this done tonight...any help is appreciated!

Well let's see. The basics are red = power and black = ground. Now keeping this in mind, you hook the red wire to a power source depending on when you want them on. The ground just goes to the chassis where there's bare metal. A good spot is the stock ground above the radiator where the engine cable grounds to. For power, you can connect it to different places. If you want them to turn on with the parking lights, pull out the plastic fender and reach in for the small bulb in the middle. Tap the red wire from the halos to the red wire going to the little parking light bulb. That's it. You can also tap the red halo wire directly to the battery and put a switch inbetween to control when power gets to the halos. So you would have power wire from the battery to the input terminal on the switch and continue the wire off the output terminal of the switch and then to the halos, then connect the ground. Easy as pie.

Thanks for the help. Before reading your post I was anxious and went about installation by 'winging it.' All I did was splice the red wire into the parking light red wire and the black to the black...I checked everything after installation and everything seemed to work fine. I left the lights on for about a minute or two and didnt experience any explosions, fires, or natural disasters...hopefully it'll stay that way. Let me know if I should expect any problems to occur with installing it this way.....I cant wait to take pics of em...they're bad-azzz!

no you installed em correctly. The only problem you may have is the cheap leds burning out quickly, that's why most people open em up and put more/better leds behind the ring. But you don't have to for now.

I'll take pics of 'em tonight....I'd take a day pic but that'd be just a tease, I think.

Whew...good to hear they are wired correctly. Damn, so the LEDs are cheap are they, bummer! Now when you say people open em up and put better leds behind the ring, do you actually mean open up the entire headlight (as if you were to paint your housing) or do you mean just install different bulb...sorry for the confusion and excuse my ignorance...thanks in advance!

the auctions on ebay said that theyre NOT HID compatible... does that mean even if u have a HID kit for the H4's and H1s. u cant use it on these projectors.....even tho those are the bulbs they use?

btw.... take lots of pics so we can see how they look
