I wouldnt even bother wiring them up.

Still looks good!

I actually kinda like the 3 leds right now, they look good at night... but once i install the CCLF's im probably gonna get rid of the 3 leds on the sides.

Both sets of the 3 vertical LEDs on my headlights are all burned out already... I've looked back there once to try to take those bulbs out but I don't remember finding the same easy bulb-cable things to pull out. I'd like to do the CCFL rings soon... will probably just unwire the 3 LEDs.

Also, Bassing, when I put an HID kit in these it made a melt-mark on one of the headlamps. Also, both high beam lenses have came unglued and are just resting in the headlamps. Have any of those issues?

Nope have not had those issues... only issue i have had is one side being dimmer than the other.. but i heard that is a common issue with galants.Its not because of the headlights. The voltage is weak on one side it seems but i dont really know.

Did you use H1 HID bulbs??? Thats what i used.

Yeah it's a raptor H1 55w HID kit.

What happens is overtime the wiring gets frayed and corrosion builds up which causes bad or limited contacts to the bulb. Which is why any one with upgraded lighting whether it's halogen or HID should use a relay and heavy gauge wiring to prevent this from happening.

They look really nice!

Just wanted to confirm...is it true that these aftermarket projector headlights are fitted for USDM 8gs?

I think that I've read somewhere that these won't fit or have some fitting issues if used on 8g's here our side of the world JDM, PHDM...our headlights I think are in 2 pieces...the USDM headlights aftermarket ones are one piece.

Anybody here has experience on fitment issues?

Yes, the aftermarket projector headlight are USDM fitment. It will fit on your JDM, PHDM galant but I think you will have a gap between the front grill and the headlights. I have JDM headlights with retorfit projectors.

Just wondering, why would there be a gap? Are these aftermarket projectors smaller in length thus the gap?

or are the USDM grills bigger?

Nice headlights and workmanship....I wish i can copy yours
