[SCato]

so i got some new headlights, off ebay of course, and i got everything connected and working, but theres a little blue led in the bottom part, and i hvae no idea where that connects to, or what it does for that matter. so i hit up google and came across nothing.... so anyone know where that it connects and what its for?,

ive searched here, nico, google, and some local forums as well. no lock so i figured i would post. and before ne one says anything, i know they suck, read about them AFTER i bought them, ill probably end up selling them off to some local kids, but for now i wanna know how to connect them.

are they worst than the oem headlights?

[SCato]

so far, yea but my brackets are fubar and the h4 bulbs that came with it are weak sauce. if i keep um im gonna get HIDs. but i havent heard many good things about them + non-projectors

[sil*eighty]

if im not mistakin i beleive its for 1 of two things,
once the blue light will give you a bluish tinge to your lights,
for "kool" factor,
or its kinda like a drl,
im leaning towards cool factor though

[sil*eighty]

they arent bad with out projectors,
apparantly they are REAL bad for oncomming traffic

[SCato]

any idea where im supposed to connect them to. maybe the foglights, but i dont want the blue light blinking when i try and turn.

[sil*eighty]

... to the positive from the headlight bulb wire?
that way its on while your headlight bulbs are on?
sorry man im not to sure

[Jack_c]

sil*eighty is right. They are basically drl's. You could hook them up to be on while your headlights are on also. iirc its to the headlight's positive wire.

Or you can just not hook them up. Thats what I did when I had them. Then I switched back to regular halogens haha.

[bo2o]

you can hook them up to your signals. the wire thats on constantly wen your lights are on one click.

this way you can have sleepy eye and have them on while sleepy'd eye'd

[dops13]

You can wire it however you want it to be. I would wire it to the parking lights.

[SCato]

i think ill try the turn signals, i already have a switch for my sleepy eyes. if i dont like it that way ill wire into the power for the headlights. thx guys for the help.

Those are city lights.
Wire it in with your parking lights.

[SCato]

which one is the parking lights?

[projectRDM]

The lights that are on in the first position. Sidemarkers, front indicators, rear lights.

And that's correct, they're technically supposed to be city lights, they come on with the parking lights to slightly illuminate the housing. It's more common in the UK on VWs, Audis, etc.

Those headlights aren't too bad as far as glare for oncoming traffic. I had the same ones, without the gay blue light a while back. They don't last long though, the chrome inside eventually turned like moldy green on one of the headlights. Don't you DARE put HID's in H4 conversion housings. It is a crime against humanity. Drop in 'kits' are stupid as fuck, and are more trouble than they're worth. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

[SCato]

well i wired them in to the parking lights, and the blue was the same color as cops blue, i i ripped out the bulbs, and left the rubber stoppers. so long story short, i spent all day wiring, and came out with nothing

whats wrong with adding HIDs to h4 housing?
