you're right. Naturally you wouldn't see any halo rings light up if the low beam projectors aren't coming on because of the wiring issue.

let me know when you get it all fixed up. good luck!

Question for berti_00 or anyone else who got similar type of lights.

I got OEM lights in right now. I am going to install the same ones that berti_00 got (but mine are all chrome).

With the stock setup, there is a socket the headlight 9004 bulb goes into. Q? What about these new lights, what happens to this socket? I don't see where it goes?

Also, berti_00, with our lights this one white and black wire on the back, near the fog. What are these 2 wires for, and where are they supposed to go?

thanks berti_00

I think thats a good idea to change to a blue bulb type. I might do that. I havent installed mine yet because one of them got damaged in shipping by USPS. And I bought off the same guy you did - atomic street. He filed a complaint with USPS. Im not sure what happens next. So its kind of frusturating.

So the wires are for the city lights. Do you know which position they would go in, because I didnt think you could hook up city lights with a 4 PIN socket. I know where they go for a 6 PIN, but these lights are 4 PIN. Also, I see with one light, the wires dont look long enough, did you have to join them with another wire?

But my other question is, with the stock setup, there is a socket the headlight 9004 bulb goes into (for your low and high beam). With these new lights, the headlight socket is know longer used?
