what do you need instructions for? put them in, connect wires, aim headlights.

i never wired up the halo stuff on mine

about the only thing i can reccomend ... is make sure to run a bead of silicon around the seam of the lights ... before they start leaking....

i think the original rubber gasket from the stock headlight will fit also... i believe i read that somewhere

as for the halos, forgot about those... if you got no wiring diagram (isnt modern supposed to supply instructions? that was listed on the old website--email them and see if you can get it)...

most people will wire the halos to the side markers and the leds to the turn signals..... i dont know the specific wires you got so basically youd ground all the black wires for the halos/leds then connect the power wires to the turn signal / side marker power wires..

if you decide later on that its to much trouble for you and not what you expected, then you can always give them to me. I wouldnt mind hand me down projector lights without instructions.

need to be wired up? ... it is just a location for a bulb to plug into .. no wiring involved ...

as for the person asking for projectors ... i will be pulling mine off as soon as i decide for sure which bumper i am replacing my stock one with ...

my turn signal has wires coming out the back of it
theres 3 sets of wires, 1 for the leds, 1 for the halos and then theres a 3rd set coming out the back of the turn signal, atleast thats how the ones i got are

ohhh ... that is the LED bulbs in there ... the factory turn signal bulb still plugs into the assembly .. and you do not have to wire those others up at all ...

there are 2 versions of the lights .. one that just has halo's and then the 3 led's .. and another that also has a seperate led for the turn signal ... which is optional ...

you don't have to wire that up .. just pull the two bulbs and plugs out of your factory bulb in the turn signal ... or plug the factory harness up to the included bulb ... and plug up the light harness to the other section
