H4 Headlights (non write up)
Hey guys so after all the rave on the h4 halo headlights i decided to get them And figured after all the trouble i went though i would make a write up!
I would like to give special thanks to-
-Wiggles for introducing me to these
_-DOM- for all the help he gave me
Well heres an ebay link on where to get these bad boys!

Now for the supplies list-
-Phillips head screw driver
-drill with a bit for a following size screw/nut and bolt( i used this for my ground)
-Extra wire (must have!)
-Wiring supplies, such as-
-scotch locks ( wire taps)
-splice
-the things with the hole (so you can ground)
-Wiring pliers
-electrical tape -Tape every single splice or wire tap!
-Electrical cleaner
-Electrical test light
-Lots of patience!
Lets begin
Take off your side marker light just 2 screws
Then you need to remove your bezels 4 screws
Keep on going and remove your whole headlight assembly 4 screws and a plug in the back
What i did was take the electrical cleaner and spray the headlight plugs just some extra work i guess.
I took my electrical test light from Harbor Freight i got for 2 bucks and tested my wire to see which was the positive wire so i knew which to wire my leds to
I tested mine and found out that the blue/red is the positive.
Now you should be at this point if your following
Well now you should have these bad boys!
Alright now, when you get your lights you get short wires ! so i took some wires and attached them and such. Now here is the wiring diagram type thing
For the blue bulb, the thick wires, The positive is the white and the ground is the black. now for the LED ring (angel eyes) The red is the positive and the white is the ground. Confusing.. they cant use regular colors. here is a picture, the wires that have the "holes" on the end are the grounds, to help you
Now you get to the point where you need to tap into your parking lights.
So you place your wire taps on the BLUE/RED wire. Then you slide a white wire in one and the red wire in the other, or if you extended your wires you should have your own wire color. Heres the picture. You slide the wire in next to the blue/red and then clamp the metal piece down and shut the lid.
Do not do this! I did... Thank god for super glue! this goes to your blue bulb.
So once you get all that done, you just start to install everything back on, you might have some troubles with the wires running on the sides of the light.
install the ring around the light 4 screws, install the bezel, then the side marker light! and your done! just make sure to do it to the other side .
Goodluck!
Hope this helped you, if you have any problems at all contact me. Maybe -DOM- im sure hes willing to help

AWESOME! Mine should be here friday but I'm outta town till 1 AUG or so. Quick question though, your head lights don't flash when you put on your turn signal/hazard lights? I have a 2001 so I have the light in the front the blinks plus the side marker that blinks. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
