So I bought the 1st generation projectors on ebay and tried to install them tonight. I cut the black wire, which I think is the ground wire for the stock headlights and the brown wire to hook up the leds and halos. However, I need to get these connected as I lost my gauge cluster lights and tail lights. Brake lights work fine. If you can help me and you live in Maryland or Northern Virginia, I am willing to drive and pay a small fee tomorrow. I'll be available tomorrow afternoon around 1 or so and definitely won't mind your help.

Call or text me if interested or post.

301 266 9518

Update: I have tail lights and gauge cluster lights. I went to hook up the leds and halos and the top 3 leds work but the 4 halos don't.

 

hey i live in maryland but no can do on the help with the wiring..sorry dude.

mine came and just plug and play

 

Thanks though, what part of Maryland do you live in bro?

 

can you post picks of what you have done? i might be able to help you out..

 

glen burnie..on ritchie highway (MD-2)

301...i cant remember where that is..is that out towards frederic and hagerstown?

 

301 splits into 97 eventually I think. It's mostly southern parts of Maryland. I live in southern Maryland and I know exactly where Glen Burnie is. Big street racing town.

 

yeah lots of street racing..but i know 301 is off of 97...i was talking about the area code for your cell phone..lmfao.

do you ever come to glen burnie?

 

301 is all over Maryland. Mostly southern though. Yeah, I used to come up to Glen Burnie all the time in my friend's STI. We don't do it as much anymore.

 

ah. well if you're ever in the area give me a shout.

name's jack btw..haha

 

Will do.

 

dude didnt you ask about how to do this yesterday?

I gave you the how to....

 

from what i remember on mine if its the same setup you should have 2 white wires and 2black wires.connect the 2 white wires to the brown and connect the 2 black wires to the black.everything should be working.if you still have no gauge lights or taillights then check your fuses.you may have pop'd a fuse when cutting into the wires.let me know if you have any questions.headlight wiring on our cars....brown is the positve one you want to splice into on the harness on the o.e.m. headlight.then connect that harness to your projector and plug into the main harness for the lights on the car. good luck man

 

Yeah, I know, the thing is, I don't have any electrical experience and I need A LOT of help with this. I'd much rather pay someone and have them do it for me. The HIDs are beautiful. I don't have the tools necessary for connecting the wires.

I have the black and brown wires twisted to each other right now. So they look like a stock harness. I don't understand why I lost my taillights and gauge cluster lights though.

 

wtf did u do? like serious........ the white goes to brown, and the back goes to black... twist them together, and tape em......... how the hell u manage to blow lights....

 

I DON'T ******* KNOW I cut only the ones on the drivers side only.

 

Check Your Fuses !!!!!!

post a pic of what the ligth and all the wiring looks like and i might be able to walk you through it or pm the pics and i'll take a look. i just finished wiring up my hids to my stockers so its still pretty familar lol

Any clue what it could be? I don't think the ambers light up either when I start up the car with the remote key.

 

oh my god dude......... message me now on msn or aim

aim is saunders1986

msn is sam_saunders17@hotmail.com

i'll walk u though it.

 

try #9 and #7 to start

 

9 and 7 didn't do anything. I tried both of those before even reading this. Come to find out, I remember my ambers didn't light up when I remote started the car and they did with the stockers. So, I checked the parking light fuse and sure enough, my gauge cluster light and taillights are back to life. Who would have thought that the parking lamps would have done the job?

 

how-to in my sig........

 

Thanks. However, I think the fuse blew was because of the car being in the on position. Don't ask. I honestly wasn't thinking. I have my driver side brown and black wires back together respectively with electrical tape for now and I'm going to hook up my leds and halos (with the car off) as soon as I get off work.

 

Okay so I followed the how-to and my top three leds work, however all four halos don't work.

Anyone know what the problem could be?

 

They're all burnt, or the hot (white-to brown on car) or ground (black) leads are not connected.

 

go over your wiring . . .
