Default Just put some Dual Projectors in with halo's and LEDs *pics*

Before:




After a couple minutes of working:




Short while later:





They were a bit of a pain. Not a perfect fit. Took only a few more minutes to wire up the Halo's and LEDs:






The cut off looks pretty good:

*low beam*


*high beam*



That's the bulbs that came with them, gross

These are on the way, should be here tomorrow or thursday:


*These headlamps changed from H4 to 9005 and 9006's*





Projectors were only $195 @ SSuperstore.com (Once ScionSport.com)

yours look perfect, I got mine from scion sport and my passenger side is not projecting right. its ulgy and makes my HID turn yellow. My driver side looks like your picture. I called up scion sport and he said he could do nothing about. Now i have to pay more money for another set.

Okay, so here's an odd problem:


It just got dark now so i went outside to see them at night. I have the LEDs and Halo's all wired together to the same switch. Now, when the switch is off, the LEDs are lit very very dimly lit. But when you turn the switch on, the halo's come on and the LEDs are 100x brighter:

*dimly lit**Switch OFF!!*



*switch on*




What the heck?? They're all wired together. The Halo's are created with LED's too, so why are these still dimly lit?? The switch is OFF! Help!

I cant describe it. but you know how you have half a circle, well my passenger side is not a half a circle and I get a dark spot. George from scion sport said to take it apart. I did and its not anything with the housing it the lense itself. Cheap stuff. I would put HIDS in the housing because it make the lights look really nice.

That dark spot might be a piece of debris behind the lens

Got them from www.SSuperStore.com (Once ScionSport)

They were $195. Ssuperstore.com is located in California (figures), so for us east coast people it takes a week for stuff to arrive if you do UPS Ground.

i've decided whats wrong with the LED's. I just have a bad switch. I checked the switch out with a multimeter, the switch "leaks". Anyways, that's the last time i buy a spring loaded push button swtich. I'll be picking up a toggle switch tomorrow morning, and this time run it inside the cabin.

Want to sell your cleared headlights or swap them for stockers if you ever decide to go back? I'm chicken ____ and don't want to mess up mine.
