I ordered the black version, but silver version arrived instead. It always happen, right???!!

But since many of you are interested in seeing more pics with these lights on a real car, here's how they look on my black car without doing the transplant and connection.

Still waiting for the black ones, and I may get these connected in the mean time if I get too bored over this long weekend. Stay tuned!








and one for BEFORE and AFTER

 

What are the two notches (cuts) on the light housing?

 

Completed the transplant, wiring and fitting. It looks very OEM and integrates with the very well without feeling intrusive. Definitely modernise the look of the car by a couple generations.

(keep in mind that 4 LED/Ring is suppose to be DRL, I'll take some photos under the sun when the rain-storm is over here!)

 

Installation 1-2-3

1 - remove the original headlights

2a - relocate (A) HID and (B) ballast from original lights to new lights - Easy
2b - relocate the (C) levelling motors from original lights to new lights - Easy, BUT, (D) pay attention to the "ball joint" tip when removing / inserting.

3- installing to the car. The rubber seal on the new lights is thicker than those on the original. It pushes the light forward a bit and I couldn't get it "locked". The trick was to (E) slide the mounting bracket forward by a little then the light will in place and locked properly.

 

No one seems to want to answer what the two notches in the light housing are.

 

How's the ring hooked up? From the DRL(bumper lights) or headlights?

 

Sorry I thought I'd answer you from the other thread. You're talking about the 2 black thingy on the top? They don't do anything. Just part of internal part but it's covered underneath the glass.

 

The manual says either bumper light or side marker. Mine is a .2 conversion, so the wiring is different.

 

Do you happen to have a before and after pics taken at night? I am still wondering if the lighting is as good or better than the factory.

Thanks

 

Unfortunately I don't have one with the light switch on.

Better is which way? I'll try to find out for you.

 

1.As bright as the original.
2.if they project light as far, if not further
3. Peripheral brightness coverage.

If they don't blind other driver (obviously, you probably can't test this unless you are in a different car.)

Thanks.

 

1 - first impression was slightly brighter / clearer. But that might have to do with the OE light was 9 years old vs a brand new light with brand new clear glass.

2 - i still have to make some adjustment as one side was projecting a little too far. But yes, it can project further.

3 - I haven't noticed any different base on my one evening test driving.

Blinding - I think this is a general problem with cars seating so low. The angle of the light needs to be adjust upwards (closer to horizontal line) in order to get a decent projection distance. Most other car's headlights are pointing slightly downwards.

 

Very nice.

 

Is it yellowish in person or is it just the pics?

 

How did you wire for the .2 conversion? Thx
