Well right now I don't have $50.00 to spend..I'm between jobs. I bought the projectors and HIDs before I got laid off. Plus why spend $50 if I can just splice two wires together lol


I already have an HID kit so I'm not sure if the harness from retroshop will work with the same HID kit or not.

 

If you can't afford 50 bucks then I guess you aren't getting them fix regardless. You aren't slicing anything to get them to work. You need relays and resistors. Both which are incorporated into the harness suggested you buy. Save yourself a headache and save for it. It is plug and play. However it sounds like you butchered your OEM harness already.

 

No my harness hasn't been touched. I bought pigtail plugs so I didn't have to cut or splice in to the OEM harness. I plugged it right into the OEM harness and then spliced in it for everything. I'm probably going to go the diode route. solder a diode between the high and low wires after my pigtail plug. That way the power goes to the low when the highs on, but when I turn the lows on it cuts the power.

 

What size projectors are those? I'm looking to do the same thing but want to buy the right size.

thanx

 

I would love to do this if I felt sure it was a sustainable option. Money is tight and I just don't feel comfortable with this yet but my stock headlights s**k!

 

great thread
I am now also in the process of trying this
Mine is a 2004
I have new Headlight assemblies
How hard is it to get them apart?
Did you put them in the oven?

Thanks

 

I used new head lamp assemblies too. They wouldn't fit in my oven so I had to slowly work around the assemblies with a heat gun. They were a bit of a pain to get apart. Just got slow and be patient.

 

How did you mount the projectors in the housing? id love to see how this is done.

 

Pretty sure that the H1 morimoto projevtor he used simply mounts by inserting its narrow shaft through the oem bulb hole from the front of the headlight housing, then threading a lock nut onto the narrow shaft from the back of the housing. The hardest part is heating up the headlights in your wifes oven to loosen the adhesive without her knowing or even finding out, and also removing the front cover without getting the goop, or ANYTHING else (including fingerprints) onto the oem reflector inside the housing. If you get goop on the reflector it is impossible to get off without ruining the reflector.
