RE: Re-wiring the eBay projectors
the part i dont get is what keeps the high beams off when you turn on the low beams??? if you connect the two together, you will still be sending volage through the high beam circuit when you turn just the low beams on. Or is there something I am missing.

Only thing I can guess is the low beams are on a relay and when you power through the switch it closes the relay and the low lights come on. When you flip to high beams it opens the switch and sends power through the dimmer switch to the bright headlights. By jumpering between that wire and the wire that controls the relay it supplies power to the relay closing it again and making the low lights come on. I am probably totally off on this but it is the only thing I can figure.

Ok I did mine this morning. On my 01 I had 2 light green wires without a stripe. One seemed a little larger gauge but not much. But it was almost a shinier green. The other green looked flat or faded. I guess I got lucky on the first pick. It worked. The other wire is Violet with a white stripe.

Simply said, I don't know exactly either, I'm no electrical engineer. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...or uh...this just worked. Thanks to whoever discovered it!

just to clarify, the 2 wires are light green larger gauge and violet/white?
thanks
