anyone know what all type of wiring is involved with these headlights if any wiring is involved at all?

Here is some information already on the forum.

Just flipping through the forums I'd say that the wiring should be all the same for the headlights and if it's not it should all be included with it. Another thing I learned is that ebay headlights also seem to suck as in they allow moisture inside, turn yellow, are dead on arrival, or die shortly after install, and aren't very bright. You could always black out your OEM headlights with the DIY ( https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...r-removal.html ) and you will have cool lights that you know work well and project light well! Plus save yourself a ton of cash that you could spend on beer, or tools, or more toys.

yes its all true i would have projectors now if the light output wasn't so horrible .if you do purchase them go around the edges with clear silicon so it won't leak.

headlights are already blacked out but with the hid's in the stock housing, the inside of the lens is getting a haze burned into it and its starting to look real bad so i wanted to get some projectors and those were the only ones i found that i liked, im gonna reseal them before i put them in. if i had the know how on how to do a retro fit then i would but i don't

I think the only thing you that needs to be rewired would be the angle eye portion of those head lights. I think you can just splice them into the parking lights. Should be like two black and white wires. The rest are converted for the H4 sockets and should have no problem fitting i think

your HIDs will probably melt those plastic projector lenses .

get TYC's if you want a projector

I dont think anyone has had melting problem with TYC brand

Oh Yeah! forgot to mention no rewire needed at all for the TYC's direct plug n play!

wish i knew all this before i bought those other ones...i saw that mr22508 has the one's i just ordered and i liked them alot compared to the tyc style so i ordered those...i guess i'll find out when they come in lol

 
Rep Power: 235

lol just pray they dont melt! but its all good i guess you can always check wif other members who have them to be sure the quality is good

those projectors suck so much. putting hid in them will destroy the insides and i doubt it would be any brighter than halogen, if not dimmer.

I've got some really nice TYC brand ones that I will sell you. They have been in storage and hardly used.

Does anyone happen to know off hand if the TYC projectors have an adjustment for the low-beam projector part? I have the high-beams dialed in just right, but the low-beams are off a little bit. Drivers side is slightly low and left. Thanks.

i here TYC is a good brand but they still have problems .

yeah, aside from the slightly ****-eyed beam, I've had good luck with them. They haven't leaked, even through constant Portland rain and shitty winters, and so far I haven't had any discoloration.
I'm tempted to try going with HIDs, but I'm not sure if I'll end up melting the housing. It seems they may be alright, as I read in an earlier post.

the lo beam has a bolt in the back you can turn to adjust them. you can easily install an hid projector, audi/valeo d2s or bosch/e46 are the smaller ones and will fit no problem.

Thanks for the info Gearbox! Do the hid projectors require any fabrication/modification, or do they just bolt right in? Damn I love DIY!!

 
Rep Power: 812

they bolt right in. i used to have tyc and sonar. you must remove them from the car tho to be able to turn the bolt and adjust them. i got mine aimed pretty well... these are the older v1 projectors with the blue cutoff. newer ones dont have color.

i have those ebay projector / halo style headlights.

i like them alot, i've never been a fan of the HID scene for the simple fact that every kid and their mom with a car on the road flashes their brights at you thinking that yours are on.

don't get me wrong the light output isn't as good as OEM but they do look pretty sick when i roll into parking lots at night in front of people with just my parking lights and hyper blue street glow kit on...they go hand in hand if you have blue underglow

those headlights are strictly for looks...and the wiring isn't so bad. since they're the ebay ones they actually came with 2 RED WIRES (confusing as hell)...so you have to figure out which one is ground and power...usually stripping the copper ends and putting them on your battery will figure that out pretty quick.

as far as installing the wires i got a Voltometer and figured out which wires ran my parking lights (first switch on the light column) so that after splicing it the halo rings are on during the day and at night.

good luck with it.

NICE! Thanks for all that. I'm gonna use your photo as an aiming guide. How far back from the wall are you? That's gonna be my project this weekend after I figure out from where I'm leaking power steering fluid. I think the hose got stupid. Woke up this morning with fluid all over the garage floor and the reservoir WAY low...

park 25 ft away from the wall on flat ground. then aim each side by using the left side of the cutoff. first measure the distance from the ground up to the projector part of the headlight. then measure that same distance at the wall and mark it. your left side of each beam should be 2-3 inches below the mark you made on the wall.

Sweet, thanks for that. I'm gonna work on that this weekend after I switch out the leaking power steering pump hose. I think it got rubbed on the pulley when I had it off the bracket the other day, put a nice gash in the hose.
I'll post a pic of the beams like yours, so you can see what you think.
CHEERS!

when your talking about installing the hid projector, your talking about installing them into the tyc's, right?

Yeah ive never had issues with my ebay projectors, but I did silicone them before install. Im not running hid's so I dont know about the melting thing. Here are sum pics.

i'll probably through them on and see how it goes

 
Rep Power: 812

yes. most larger projectors will not fit since space is limited.
