i just bought new halo headlights and was wondering if you just install them to the clips where the existing lights were or if there was any wiring that i had to do

any help would be great

 

Uh... depending on what Gen you have, there may be wiring required. There sure is with Gen 1


And with Gen 2, there is no wiring


And with Gen 3, i'm unsure, but i don't believe there is any wiring.

 

i have the gen 1 how difficult is the wiring

 

It should be plug and play except for the halo rings and the leds.

 

how do you hook up the halo rings and the LEDs? like where did you connect them too?

 

i wired my completely separate from the headlight because I have red halos :x

 

Typically the LEDs & Halos will have black and white or red wires for connecting. All you have to do is put all the blacks together, put all the whites/reds together, then hook them up to whatever power source you want. The most common is the parking lights, which would be the brown wire on the headlight harness. Connect the white/red to that and connect the blacks to a black ground wire. That's all there is to it. The Gen 3 are like this as well, I think Gen 2 are the only ones where everything is prewired.

 

Honestly I will buy the Gen 3s and make sure non of the led or halo crap is on. Just seems kinda ricey to me and I just want the black housings with a decent projector for HID's

 

thanks, see my corner lights didnt work in my eclipse so i just wired them to that and was done with it. but yeah im about to go put them in right now, another question is there anyway you can change the color of the halos lol or would you have to buy new ones pretty much?

 

They still look ricey. If you want to do it right, get retrofits. I just ordered mine last week. I should be getting them this week. I can't wait.

 

So if you go with these.

All i will need to do is splice in the the white wires to the brown parking brake wires and black wires to a ground and be done? Sorry if i brought this post back from the dead i googled a how to.

 

yep, that's pretty much it, although the leds will have white wires and the halos will have red wires, but you still wire them both to the parking light.

 

ok im new to this... i just found this thread and im wanting to do red halos as well and reading this i think im a bit confused... how is it that you get the red halos? by splicing wires together or do you have to change the halo out? i have the Gen1 and i havent gotten HID's for it yet but im working on it... and if there is a thread already dedicated to this question jus lemme know the link to it, i cant seem to find it. thanks!

 

to get a red halo, you have to do this...

replace the white LED with a red one. Its not real hard

 

ok i found this one b4, thanx ill use it when i go to replace them.. are the HIDs hard to instal on the Gen1's?

 

Never done it but I was assume that its a simple bulb replacement...Don't quote me on it though

 

no worries, i heard wiring harness isnt too bad but i was lookin for some1 w/ personal experience w/ it all... thanx tho man.

 

No problem. Sorry I couldnt' be more helpful

 

its all good man, i appreciate the halo tab, ill be comin back for that

 

ok so im messin around w/ my halo and LED's on the Gen 1 lights, i bought them off a buddy so the wiring is a lil crazy but theres white, black, and a white wire w/ a black stripe, i got to touch them to the brown wire but no lights, could this be the leds or the wiring?
ok i know the black are the neg and im guessing whites are hot, i touch whites to brown nothing. then whites to brown w/ black touching metal on car and nothing. am i doin something wrong or could it be the wire?
