Light Kit

Post by Fr0z3nMechanix » Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:54 pm

Okay, so i bought a full light kit (well... didn't buy front side lights)... but I need to know two things...

1. How do i wire up the front headlights (they are black projectors from krazykustomzonline.com) so that the side LEDs and the angel eyes work with the running lights. I have no idea how to wire these up at all, so please either tell me or point me to a thread (i've searched but i must be typing in the wrong thing or something). If you need pix... I can post them... but i believe they're the same as all the others out there.

2. I already installed my tail lights... but I can't get the reverse bulbs out of the stock lights. Should i go buy new ones from Advance Auto or Autozone? or is there some special way to get them out? As far as i can tell... they're glued in...

Well, you posted your topic in the right place.. I just don't see how you missed the very first sticky on how to wire the led's and projectors. There's even a diagram on the wiring too.

As far as the reverse light bulb, I have no clue. I haven't even seen my car since March since I've been deployed since. I'm sure someone else will chime in though. Just doing my part to help :D

Eh? They should be attached to the socket and come out when you twist the socket to unlock it from the housing. There are two sockets, right? Or are the 2000s different?

Feel free to post questions in the sticky if you have any. Other people might have the same ones.

You could also go for some replacement LED bulbs for your reverse lights. I did mine and its a lot whiter than the yellowish stock bulb. I used these guys from superbrightleds.com

Thanks... I figured out what my problem was... The stupid piece that holds the bulb wouldn't come out... that stupid thing was in there so tight i had trouble getting it out w/ a wrench. Thanks for the LED site too... i was looking into getting some.
