I have never done anything this technical before but I have all the tools necessary to do this. Has anyone else changed the LEDS that has never done anything like this before? Im almost afraid to screw something up..

 

I would really like to install Red :? I guess I could always chance it and pray I dont get pulled and if I do just play the I didn't know card.

Its pretty simple Vizion. Just take your time and dont rush. Print out the How-To and just follow it while you work.

 

Like Edub83 said very easy....just carefuly take the assembly out (led's and board) and then use a very sharp pointed tipped soldering iron and a solder sucker to prevent mess and burn, and also make sure you have no solder running from the positive lead to the negative lead cause that will cause the leds to burn out....

I could do it for you if you are up to shipping them to me, might take a week at the most and just send the leds also, but that's just a suggestion.

And if you would like pics of the blue LED's I got from Mkulrey (blackbalt.com) I can show you.

If anything, they would give you a fix-it ticket (Florida is $8 for headlights) and just disconnect them and switch over to something else.

 

i ordered them from that website you guys mention and i never hot anything

 

You mean you never recieved your LED's? I would try to message him here or on AIM or Yahoo! IM.

 

well i have and nothing kinda suck ass i want to replace them all ready they look like crap

 

So, anyone ever put amber/orange LEDs in the halos? That would look pretty awesome on a SOM balt.

 

ssromer and i are doin this here soon hopefully this work...wish us luck!

 

Putting orange bulbs in the halos & up top?

Good luck!

 

wow...i never thought something could be such a pain in the ass....jesus!

 

Was it really that bad???

 

i dont have the patience or the tiny ass fingers that is required to do so...haha

 

Try putting a cold air intake on a 350Z. That's not easy either...

 

haha thats why i have a cobalt...easy as hell to work on...except these damn headlights..

 

I had a harder time trying to figure out where to splice wires & wiring up my HID's, than replacing a halo....

 

i gotcha...i have the plug and play hids so they werent bad at all..

 

anyone find out if the 5mm LEDs fit into the halos?

the 5mm LEDs would be brighter than the 3mm, but its a question of whether they will fit in there or not.

 

did anyone figure out how to aim these lights?

 

**** WAS THAT?

 

Anyone know what resistor is in the halo LED board? Also is it confirmed that 5mm LEDs will fit in the halo? It would be nice to find out so that a simple trip to Radio Shack can get all the stuff needed to outfit the projectors. Next time someone has theres apart, please look and post, or if anybody knows off hand..?

 

No they will not.

Instead of wiring all 4 halo LEDs together to 12V basically inline only wire two to 12 volts. 4 LEDs in series from 12volts = very dim. Kinda hard to explain but I hope you understand. Same goes for the 5mm's, wire them all separate instead of inline with each other and they will be much brighter.

 

yes they will. I have 5mm in my halos. The only problem I had was fitting the bulbs in the grey holder for the halo ring where the leds sit. I look a filer and filed more of the plastic away on the inside until I could pop the leds in. It worked and you can't see the where I shaved the pieces off unless you take it apart.

 

I understand the wiring of this, however when doing this will the resister still be necessary? Or is the resister only needed for the lower volt LEDs?

 

Bump, nobody know anything about the resistor or the proper type of LEDs to use to fix my burnt out halo...? I need to make a trip to Radio Shack...

 

I have no idea about resistors, but I believe that you would need some. The proper type of LED's would be 3MM...
