They look good. So exactly what did you get, post up the links.

Probably will be fine there. Maybe just zip tie it down so it doesn't bounce around.

i would definatley run those wires under the radiator or something, it just looks like a bad idea running all those wires out in the open

It's on the other side of the excess radiator box or whatever it's called.

The white plastic box for coolant, it's stopping the whole sleeve from moving closer to the engine area / belt. I don't think it can accidentally move pass the coolant box if I hit a bump, I think the hood will stop that.

It's only 3 wires running from side to side inside the sleeve. Any other wires you see (my reverse light wires going to the relay) won't move, they are only long enough to go straight to where they are.

Crazy4x4RT, I got the 5000k from here:

They shipped is straight from China, I don't like that, tracking stopped working once it hit the US.

You could always run it under the hose and drill 2 small holes in fan shroud and run a zip tie to hold it in place.

What I wanted was to run it under the hose, but it's hotter in that area than where it is right now and I don't know how much of a heat resistance this wire sleeve has. I don't want it burning up and melting.

I was originally going to drill 2 or 3 holes in the metal part up from where the hood latches and have them white wire tie clip things.



Something like that but it has ridges on the other side that goes in the hole and you have to squeeze it together to get out.

Glad to see my supposed "quality" product is coming straight from China.
If you ever going to buy HID or LED lights, visit Vanix HID store.
Only highest quality products with 2 year warranty. Unlike the cheap HID and LED lights Vanix lights are shipped from USA, not China, tested prior sending them to the customer, therefore very low failure rate and always best customer service
