when I get home from school/ work I will answer all the questions and try to take some pictures of the process soon.

 

Awesome...I'm stoked! Thanks again for taking the time to post this for everyone interested...specifically me!!!

 

Different seller, same kit... Its available from a few places online. As I said, just be aware of the packaging, hold off giving feedback till they are mounted in the car. I can't help with mounting locations, I haven't put in the replacements yet.

 

Wow, that's an amazing price.

 

ok im home... time to take apart my car.
I will have pictures up tonight

 

Man I am def interested for $30. Cant wait to see the picks!

 

Awesome, anxiously awaiting here! You have quite the audience!

 

<center>To start it off I am new to all this, second time other then the headunit even striping wires so give me a break

Ok first off here is a picture of the Head lights with the 2 CCFL halos. As you can see the bottom one fits pretty snug but the top has a lot of hang and is small. ( gap shown in the red square )

Next up is the view of the back of the light housing. As you can see I mounted the inverters on the housing on the flat portion with 3M Weather Strip Adhesive (shown in blue). Also I cut a hole in the housing roughly half an inch or so to push the halo wiring though. Then I used both 3M Weather Strip Adhesive and High temp Ultra Black Silicone to patch it up to seal the housing. (shown in red)

This is the other hole i made same size and everything for the other halo wires to run though. Try to use some silicone first to create a mold and then the 3m weather strip because it is very difficult to work with the weather strip. ( Red shows the hole )

Back hole by the inverter

The the last part of this is the wiring each transformer( inverter ) has a power and a ground. Make sure you disconnect your battery... then I cut the wire to my sidemarker and T'd them off then used molex connecters so it can be quickly connected and disconnected.

The blue square is the sidemarker wire.
The red Square is the quick disconnect.


Sorry for it not being well put togeather tight on time and i scratched both my fenders being in a hurry

 

Superior, that was awesome...thanks for the write-up and awesome pictures! Can you take some more pictures with the halos on and the headlights both off and on as well? How bright are the Halos...pretty noticeable during the day? I hate that I have to have my parking lights on to have the Halos on, but I guess it's the only logical/easiest way to wire these up.

 

Thanks! and np!

im sure with a little looking around you can find another way to wire it. I was in a hurry with this whole thing when I did it I had to paint my friends lights and this and was running out of light so I just went for the way that was easy . Yes I will take some more pictures tomorrow in the light and when its dark of it off / on etc.

 

Sorry about your fenders, that sucks!

My main question for you, can you see the Halos during the day? Can you also see them in direct sunlight, or are they not that bright? I hoping they're as noticeable as LED strips, which to me look amazing (like on the S5 and new Audis).

Also, after having them installed, are you happy with the look, despite the top halos not fitting flush and being a bit short?

Did you have to paint the backside of the halos to avoid reflection also?

Sorry, I have even more questions, but stopped myself...for now.

 

To be completely honest I am not positive its not as noticeable in the day but they are really bright at night I have only had them for little while. Tomorrow I will look in the day and tell you and take a picture. I feel so dumb for not really know I am very happy for the price overall i love them!!!! the installation not so much along with the broken halo... first make sure you try them prior to install if you get them. And no I did not have to paint the back its really not noticeable. Any more questions I will be around !

 

did it come with molex quick connects? are both halos connected together at one point? meaning if one doesn't get power the other doesn't as well.

 

no but you can prob get all them for 1$ maybe? And yes they both go to the inverter then from there the inverter sends out the one (red)hot and (black)ground.

 

can anyone recommend more reliave HALO lights?
it is on my to do list.. but ebay ones are..i dunno, i'm skeptical.

on my old car, we used the acrylic rod and LEDs, any idea if that would work here?
