yea TemjinX2, those are e46 bixenons, do u know how the wiring goes for the solenoids with the highbeam switch? i blew many fuses and still having trouble.
I followed the lowbeam harness for 9006 on hidplanet and the lows work fine, just having trouble with the solenoids flipping down when turning the highs on

You gotta buy the diodes, relay and capcitator on the diagram i posted it. The relay is designed so you don't blow out your soleniods. You can just use the red and green wires, but the soleniods will died after some time



The cleanest way to mount the trigger is to have it connected to a separate switch. If not, you can always tap it into the high beam harness. I prefer the separate switch so you can have two sets of high beams.

hey TemjinX2, I made the harness for the wiring diagram that you posted and tried to connect that harness to the stock highbeams, but for some reason, it still doesn't work. I"m just gona use the foglight switch method.

thnx for the comments guys,
i havent' measured the actual aim cus its been raining,i think its aimed slightly too low. well i have to open them up again since theres a bit of fog in them. i'll post some cutoff pics after i clean up the fog.
have you guys tired using the meguire's plastX pollish? there seem to be some scratches on the inside of the clear plastic cover, so i'm thinkin of polishing them up since i have to open them up again.

the plastx doesnt work too well imo in removing scratch on some plastics. always worth a try, just make sure you wipe them good with a microfiber to get all the residue out. the stuff works great on stereo faceplates and most other plastic like taillight.

sorry for the late response. I've been really busy since i got my gsr and trying to part out. Anyways, i didn't make the shroud since i suck with fiberglass.

There customer fiber glass shroud my friend made me. I wanted to make it look as oem as possible. I've been pulled over a few times for my tint and the cops never suspected my lights weren't factory.

Anyways he used a e46 shroud and used some sticks and stereo carpet as a base for the resin. From the resin he layed the fiberglass and took out the stereo carpet and sticks. He does custom installs all the time, that why i had him do it since he can make look oem.









i uploaded some more wall shots on my sales link
