Default new headlights

Well my new headlights came in today and I got them installed. They were pretty easy to install. 90% plug and play the only thing that wasn't play and play was the LEDs which were pretty easy to wire in. I will get some night pics tonight and post them up

Here is how I wired the LEDs in. I spliced them into the running lights so they will be on anytime the headlights or running lights are on

spliced the ground into the ground for the running lights (the black wire) and the power(red) into the power for the running lights (white with red stripe)

Looks awesome, one thing though I would would suggest to paint the exterior gray trim of the housing black, just to have it blend a bit better.

Tha's what I did to mine, I just haven't updated my sig yet.

No they are ccfl halo led projectors. I was thinking about painting the trim later.

They do look good. How does the light output compare to the stock lights.
