Beware not to melt your wire harness with high wattage aftermarket "superwhite" bulbs.

Oh and always buy from the seller with the best feedback rating.

 

Well I dont know about other people, but my wiring has stood up o the abuse of about 9 amps for the past year

i'm regretting buying these projectors halos because now everyone is saying they've been getting fog in them.. Fog was the reason why i took out my painted headlights before. So i guess when i recieve the projectors in the mail i will be selling them if anyone is interested.

 

Might want to check your state's law on that one, I live in Ohio and was required to change bulb color after changing the lens to clear on my cavalier.

 

I order ebay projectors and they come with H1 bulbs. Now i am an idiot so dont be mean, i thought H1's were H.I.D. lights. Help???

H1 is just the type of bulb (like 9007, 9006 etc. .)

 

I've had mine on for over a month and I haven't had any fog in them...besides...mine came with a paper that specifically says to seal the projector housing with silicone to prevent fogging...but I never did and I have no fogging issues.

I probably will eventually seal them though.

 

i have them.. the low beam is just the same is stock.. if you want you can do what i did and bought brighter lights...i picked them up at pep boys... the high beams are bright as hell tho... not to mention it looks good

oh you cant put HID's in the projector houseing it will be too hot...

hey cobaltic i like your pics did you change your gauges or just the lighting? how did you change the lighting in the dash for your gauges that looks hella nice.

 

Not true....HID bulbs run cooler than Halogen.

 

these projectors don't even have any sealant on them?

 

is it true that these headlights don't come sealed and that we have to seal them?

 

Looking at mine out of box right now...look sealed to me.

 

they are sealed, have screws in the back as well, have bulbs intalled. I have never had a fogging issue ever.

I like the looks of these lights. minor fitment issues I have had. others have not. I worked my issues out. they look super with luminics bulbs. they are more functional with regular bulbs and now I am considering putting in a set of 100 watt bulbs. if I do I will make a separate wiring harness with relays to handle the load. I have done this before with jeeps. works great.

 

what i did was i cut down a strip of ultra thin LED's and i placed it behind the steering colom... you cant see them really.. but with the wite background and the blue led's it looks sick.. it looks better in person tho

i belive mine came with a warning that said not to use it in that houseing... i may be wrong but i'll take a look

I meant by sealing the actual "projector" part, thats what the note meant I believe.

 

I was under the impression that HID's ran cooler than the stock lamps? Thats what the manufacter said and my chevy dealership.

 

do you think i should put fuses on the power wire going to the leds when splicing them into the turn signals? what wattage fuse should i use?

 

i wired everything into the daytime lights so they're always running

 

I am going to run the LED's to their own switch inside the car thru a relay to protect them.

 

how does the relay protect them? i might just throw a 3amp fuse on the power wire when spicing them into the daytime running lights.

 

Relay should protect against surges I think...

I got them put in today, just used an inline fuse (no relay) for the LED's and mounted the switch beside the coin holder, under dash for now to avoid any cutting. I just need to remember to turn them off when I use them - or - oops dead battery
