Projector Lamps & Tail Lights

fr0zenmechanix · Post by **fr0zenmechanix** » Thu May 01, 2008 5:24 pm

Okay... So I've been through the search thing so many times i'm getting sick of it... I'm going to get these projectors:

and these tail lights:

I can only seem to find threads that tell me how to remove the OEM light and (it's inferred i guess) replace it w/ something similar. I just want to know if it's difficult to wire these things up. I know several of you have ones that look similar... and i haven't found squat on how to change the tail lights either. So help on the how-tos would be wonderful... either tell me how to install these or point me in the right direction. Your comments will be very much appreciated.

Thanks!!!

The tail lights are simple. Just pull off your carpet from the back inside your trunk. You'll see three plastic knobs. These are screws that hold your tail light in. Unscrew these and your tails will loosen up. Pull them out, take your bulbs out of the holder and put your new ones right back in. Nothing to it.

As for the headlights, that's a little more complicated. If you're going to use your halos and the three leds on the sides, you have to wire those to either your turn signal or your parking light wires. These wires go to your actual signal bulb. One is for your turn signal, the other for parking lights. The headlight itself will just plug right into the stock wiring harness for your old headlights.

Like he said taillights=simple just make sure they seal up or you will get water in the trunk and that is the balls.

If you get the headlights get the hids with them, worth every penny. For the halos wiire the positive and negative to the positive and negative of your sidemarkers so they wont blink on and off when your blinker are on.

Why would you put hids in them? The beam pattern is awful. I guess if you want to intensify hot spots and increase the glare you should stick hids in. Personally I would swap the projectors with hid projectors and get a true hit kit.

I have HIDs in mine. THe beam yes isn't acura quality. But WAY better than stock. Plus not everyone can afford/has the skills to do a retrofit

Don't worry duder. You will be very happy with the ebay projectors when you get them aimed correctly. Trust me. I have them. I know.

^Modern sells them and I found mine on ebay for half the price - and they didn't come cracked like so many of Moderns. There may be other places but those are the two I know about.

I got a pair not those tails but a different one off ebay as well. mine cost me 56 brand new. They look great. I sealed up the back with silicone as well so now my trunk is nice and dry
