aftermarket headlights

Have you a pic of them fully fitted and working

also been looking at these from the same supplier http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360420426401

 

I can vouch for these lights. I've had my set 2 years and they are still going strong and look awesome. Good quality and fitment and much brighter than standard!

 

Uk cars are all 8 pin so the wiring will need some adapting but that's easy enough, JDM cars are plug and play as they are all 6 pin like these lights.

 

Best pics i have are below. If you want better I'll take some good snaps tomorrow showing the halos etc. Let me know :thumbs:

Yes mate mine is a JDM and I fitted them myself in well under an hour. Is yours a UK model?

Everything you need should come with the lights mate. Ballasts, bulbs etc.

 

The only thing you'll need to do is swap the 6 pin plug with the 8 pin from your current lights. The additional wires going into the 8 pin uk plug, if I remember correctly, are for the headlamp washers

Must say that these look great B)

 

Rather tempted to get a pair myself - my OEM lenses are pretty tired. I drive round cursing BMWs with their angel eyes on, whilst secretly thinking they are actually quite cool (jealousy incarnate) :lol::doh:

I had halos on a mk4 escort back on the day and loved them since. Gives any car a bit more character imo. Do it.... :lol:

so it sounds from that, the headlight washers wouldn't work after the conversion?

Are the DRL's and Halos wired to the sidelights or are they always on? Thinking about getting a set as they look fantastic; if anyone can confirm whether or not the headlight washers will work I would be very grateful, IIRC the JDM's don't have headlight washers because they don't have HID's and so don't need them so it may just be a case of some funky wiring work around; anyone got these headlights on their UKDM spec with HID's?

Same, my JDM had HIDs and no washers when I got it but i went for the preinstalled setup offered by the seller and removed the OEM ballasts.

 

The Halos and DRLs work off the sidelights but you can always rewire to a seperate switch :)

UK MOT regulations state that 'where fitted, headlight washers must work' none fitted, don't need them ;)

 

As for the other 2 pins, I believe they are for the auto headlight levelling that is another requirement for having Xenon lights.
