Title: Angel Eye headlights - Where does the wiring go?
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 07 October 2008, 09:30
Anyone know? LOL! There's like 2 - 4 loose wires that need to be wired into the sidelights, but two things:

1. Where do I locate the sidelight wiring?

2. How do I connect the loose wires to the sidelight wiring?

Ok I got them in, and they work off the normal plug for the standard lights, but the halo rings don't light up...I'm assuming that's something to do with the red, and black wire that are loose atm, any help?

What doesn't work well in the dark? angel eyes?

If that's the case, I'd have to disagree, I just did a test in my garage and the way I had the car positioned the original lights were nowhere near as bright as the angel eyes.  :grin:

Now I like the Hella ones, but...I'm not too fond on the amount of chrome if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong they look ace on Guy's car, but black angel eyes are more suited to Dragon Green. :D

Nah nah, LL likes it Kells lol! :P

To be fair, as LL said it does change the front end, good thing is it doesn't look chavvy, it may not be completely OEM but still.

Title: Re: Angel Eye headlights - Where does the wiring go?
Post by: glowgtdi on 12 October 2008, 00:54
Same set as i bought for mine, but i paid £147 inc P&P lol...

Wire the black wires to the black wire on the plug, then the red ones to the white wire on the plug then dont fit sidelight bulbs into the outer ones (Im turning them into indicators).

Easy job looks great :)
