wiring up angel eyes

[Bludger]

it aint bs but i havent seen it happen..

no need to relay, but that depends on the line.. You could just run the stock line.. take the plugs off.. then solder a fuse then connect the angel eyese..

if u wna do a dodgy.. just gate electric tape and tape the whole wire and fuse .. and just try put it sumwhere hidden, or cable tie it..

you're not understanding, the stock wires don't cater for his setup if he wants to do it properly, he will need to run more wires if he wants to do it properly

easier to use power source from the existing line.. if ur gna go from batterry.. ur gna have to require the whole line to your dash..

YES... but it depends on how his gna set it up..

IE.. easiest method is..

you will have 4 wires from your angel eyes for parker.. stock has 2.. + and -..

you can run 2 + to the fuse and have the + from stock wiring..

then run the 2 - to another fuse with the stock - ...

no you don't need to run to the dash for new wires, you just use the stock high and low beam wires as a signal and run through a relay.

doing it this way will be the best way, garanteed

I suggest you wire it up using 2 30amp relays.

run some wires from the battery to the positive pin of the relay (pin 30)
make sure you have it fused too.

ground pin 85

1st relay, hook up the original headlight low beam wire to pin 86

2nd relay, same, but high beam, pin 86

pin 87, goes to your new bulbs


this explanation is pretty sparse in itself, but i'm pretty busy now, thats all i can muster up

this is some heavy shit.

"no you don't need to run to the dash for new wires, you just use the stock high and low beam wires as a signal and run through a relay."

what do you mean by that can u elaborate?? once you got free time

relays have 4 pins

pin 30 - power in
pin 85 - ground
pin 86 - signal
pin 87 - output

when you turn your headlight switch on, you get power going to the headlights. cut this wire b4 the old bulb and connect it to pin 86, this will act as a signal to tell the relay to route power from the battery to your new lights in the angels.

run power from the battery to pin 30, make sure you have a suitable fuse in between the relay and the battery.

run pin 85 to a nice solid negative ground.

Pin 87 will run directly to your new bulbs in the angel eyes.

times this by 2, one relay for low beam and one for high beam.


when you flip the switch to turn on your headlights, the relay will route power from your battery to your new angels

[steve88]

yep i getcha its like wiring up a deck. from pin 30 to battery what kinda guage cable we talking about?

[Bludger]

depends what sort of globes you wanna run.

this way will allow you to run higher power globes than stock.

my rule of thumb is to overkill

not sure, what guage can handle what amperage.

[steve88]

well itd be running the h1 globes i supposeif you guys are saying thats what globes that ebay link i gave you. you reckon 8 guage will do?

you cant actually buy the projector and H1 lights on its own can you? im planning to gut these angel eyes once im bored of them and retro out my EK1 head lights

[OMG.JAI xD]

ehhh..

main beam n high beam is plug n play ..

parkers come with 2 sets of positives n 2 sets of negatives ..

and the blinkers use the OEM socket.

i just sliced off the parker plugs and wired the power in parallel and had 2 seperate grounds..(for one light .. total of 4 grounds for both)
it works fine, theres really no need for relays n all that mumbo jumbo :/

OEM parkers dont take much amperes anyway, it should already be regulated.

lol i didnt even solder mine :/
and my passenger side's wiring is so stuffed .. it comes so close to the power steering pump..

but oh well, goodluck anyway, which ever way you want to do it =]

in the end .. as long as it works .. its coolio

every step you said sounds so dodgy

i did the same thing.. but soldered it..
