i got mine from x3racng and im loving em.. Ok, there is a like 5-6 caps per headlight, u need to remove those and there is a thin tape underneath the white cap,u need to peel it off so its gonna look like an empty hole into your assembly. u need to remove all so it does not fog up.I love em and i get tons of attention....
i had to lower then front bumper lil and for the rings (halo) i connect em with the side marker.
then i got me led bulb for that lil bulb so everything matches now .
if u need help from where i got em, let me know

This may be a stupid question, but how did you wire them into the side markers? and why are there three sets of black and red wires for two halos per light? Im actually in the middle of install right now, front bumper came off very easy haha

yes there is.. there is one for left ring and one for the right rings and last one is for that tiny bulb that i changed to Led...
i just split the wire and connected/twisted the wires with with a black tape water proof .. and not a single prob.

By little LED light, you dont mean the city light right? your talking about that tiny tiny one next to the actual projector, I didn't even notice that was there until you mentioned it, the city light is hard to get to on these, were you able to get in there? and did you need much adjusting with yours?

u are right.. its the city light. I blanked out and i could not remember the name.. No im not talking about that tiny white led near the projector. just get a tweezer or thin plier and pull it out.. u can change that to led light and will look much much better.. Not really, i barely adjusted em....

I decided not to wire the halos, but the first one is in and HIDs are working, looks really nice, and the city light still works without wiring any of the three black and red lower wires, so that third must be for that little LED i was talking about...??

thanks for your help, moving right along!

u could be right. the lil one should come on once u turn the headlight on. i remember i messed up then i had to re do it till i got all working. y aren't u hooking up the halo ring? its the beauty of it specially night. it shouldnt take u more than ten min both sides combined. good luck and you are welcome

I feel like Beamers have the halo's and a lot of aftermarket projectors are now putting in the halo's. I left the wires so I could if I wanted to later. but for now I am happy with the beautiful clear lens and the HID's. It took me about 3 hours total, without wiring halos. it was tough for me to get all the rubber around the lights to line up correctly with the hood and front bumper, its not perfect, but I did the best I could and they look great. I am very happy with the outcome. thanks again!
