    Anyone got a write up on how to install Projectors? Or give me a quick little write up haha. I figured out the majority of it, there is just two black and red wires on the bottom of the lamps that I don't now where they go to.

    example:


    Not the one with the blue plug, I already figured that one out. Its the two black and red ones u see on top of the silver part.

    They're for the halos. Most people connect them to the parking lights (black and brown wires so they don't flash), or run a separate switch.

    I'd check to see if they flash with your turn signals if I were you. There should be three wires running to your parking lights (3457 bulb), brown, blue, and black. Black is, of course, ground. Brown is for the parking light filament (always on) and blue is for the turn signal filament. Your sidemarker (194 bulb) is connected across the brown and blue wires. If your LED rings are connected to these, they should be on steady when the parking lights are on, but flash with the sidemarker when you turn on your turn signals.

    278.00 or so on ebay. The highest i seen these ones at was 680.00, so you know they're good quality. Some people say that projectors can melt the plastic lens but these wont. =) I'm very happy and satisfied with them.

    Nope, they dont flash with my turns. I was curious about that when i hooked them up and tested it, they don't.

    i have the projector headlights, they look great. but make sure your lights wont get any moisture in them because one of mine did and i had to them out and put the stock lights in for a bit so i can re-seal the light and make sure that it doesnt get moisture again. oh and if you have the hids for them definately get hids in your fog lights, looks much better.
