1st Gen Projectors Set Up

I know these are not plug and play but they are the ones I really like. just wondering how hard these are to wire up (mainly because I'm not much of a wiz with electronics).

If they're set up like my third gen projectors, it should take all of 10 minutes to wire them up properly. It depends on how you want them to look though, with mine, I just wired up the halos and LEDs to the parking lights, others have done it differently.

If i get my camera back soon ill will take sum pics on the way i wired my halo's and LEDS it takes no longer then 10 mins like he said, i just use u these clamps that connected the LED/Halo wires to parking wire with NO cutting and they work amazing! But mine i just did the same as NCC-2000 easiest and works just fine. But ifi get the camera ill shot you some pics.

Well let me put it this way, if you want to wire them up the simple way like I did, you'll only have to tap into two wires on each side of the car, so four wires total to do this. Should be pretty easy for you. The rest is just combining all the positives and negatives with each other on the headlight itself.

Quick question, how are these for practical use? Are they dimmer or brighter than stock?

Alright awesome. So is there anything else that would be needed after I get the headlights (any bulbs or things of that nature)? And where is the best place to get them; ebay?

So what bulbs exactly are used for the headlights? And does it come with any or do all the bulbs have to be bought?
