EBAY Projector Headlights

[BGR]

i'm still trying to figure out how to adjust them and how to put some h1 hids in using the h4 harness. looks like i may have to cut and splice and do some trial and errror. we will see what happens

This is a simplier diagram. Keep all the wires connected, however, remove the H4 bulb and replace it with the H1 bulb. This is for low beam only. The H4 bulb will still be connect (via the 3 prong wiring harness, but it will not be activated as it's not connected to the ballast. Remember to keep it covered or it will be damaged).

If you want hi beams, you'll have to connect that other wire from the ballast to the hi beam lights somehow (change the connectors at the end from male to female so they connect to the H1 hi beam bulb, or solder it.

Rich, if you want the halos to be brighter, you can simply pull out the bulbs for the halos and replace them with led's. They are regular bulbs, thats why they look so dim.

It didn't look so simple as to pulling them out. I did see several Philips screws on the backside of the headlight, but beyond this, this headlight is tightly sealed.

Here is what I mean:









Don't worry about the cut wires, didn't want the heads for the halos. They pull out pretty easy, and there are four for each halo. Just give it a little tug.

Damn. Alright, thanks. I check it out at lunch. Do you know if they are 194 bulbs? (same as the instrument panel lights)

How does the headlight fit in your car? Mine, I can't quite use the top connector, that connects the headlight to the frame. If I was able to use it, not only would there be a gap at the bottom, but I wouldn't be able to use the bolts near the radiator grill. Also, speaking of the radiator, I noticed that the back of the headlight (passenger side), it's almost too big, as it's pressing against one of the pipes of the radiator. The part that's pushing against the radiator pipe looks like one of the outlets on the backside (for condensation? It's pictured in the 4th pic above - next to the red and black wire)

Yes, the bulbs do look like our gauge cluster bulbs. You can replace em with the multi-direction led's, I'm sure that will make it look brighter.

Fitment wise, I do have the gap under the headlights, which will be solved with some silicone. All the screws went in expect the screw inside the fenders. I have no fitment problems with the radiator on the passenger side. If you want, you can take pics so i can see what your talking about.

The gap is hardly noticeable, check pg 8 for pics.

those definitely look like 194 bulbs

[JoeRad]

not 194's, if there the same as city light they have a bayonet coupling like a house bulb

I have some LED 194's. I'll try them out sometime.

I haven't used the inside fender bolt since clearing my first headlights. My new projector headlights aren't an exact fit. If using the top bolt, the hole and bolt lines up on top of the headlight and frame but then the two bolts near the radiator grill won't line up. The driver's side was a little more cooperative. I was taking a look at them this morning and I would say on the passenger side, I would have to drill a new hole for the top bolt about 1/2" from the original hole in order to use it.

Regarding the gap, my original solution was to buy clear GTS headlight covers and make custom eye liners (eye brow for top, and a line for the bottom to cover the gap - probably using electrical tape as a test), However, seeing that the gap is now not as obvious, I'm deciding against it - considering GTS covers cost more than $60 now.

The only thing I'm not fond of is not having the reflector on the side of the headlight showing an exposed bulb. Has anyone thought of swapping the lens from the stock headlight?

I don't think that would matter. On the stock headlights, the turn signals face outwards, whereas these Ebay headlights, the turnsignals face forward. Regardless if you could use the stock clear cover (with amber or clear reflector to conceal the turn signal), you'll still see your bulb pointing forward when viewed from the front.



Funny though, on these headlights, there is a distinct line on the clear cover right where the reflector would have been. You can almost see them in the pic above.

I demand full pics!

Full pics? What exactly does that mean? Pics that have the halo's and 3 led's working? Along with low and high beam?

You won't be seeing that from me.

dont be fridgid, get your kit out/on

[03-Galant-ES]

BGR you should check ebay for the LEDs I used in my gauge cluster they are 194 5bulb blue LEDs i think I got 10 of them for 20bucks so with 4 per halo get a set of 20 which they sell for like 35$ i believe

exact person I bought from was very good and free shipping from hong kong is awesome

[BGR]

I ordered some. I couldn't find my LED's I was referring to earlier and the one's I did manage to find lying around the house were the single one LED that weren't bright at all (and are red).

I ordered two sets of 20 LED's - one in yellow and the other in amber. I wasn't sure which I would like better, so I ordered them both.

[goldenthumb51]

are these made by depo?

I'm probably going to order a set in the next month or two then swap the lens over if it doesn't cover the projectors. This is if the housings are the same size.
