I believe those go to the angel eyes themselves

Edit: that's the DIY I used to install mine

Used that DIY?

Looks good btw

hitmanre · 02-17-2013, 11:17 PM

I just put random wires together and I guess I got lucky lol. It helped a bit though

^ rofl, wires will be the death of me. Did you set yours to only come on when the headlights are on or parking lights?

hitmanre · 02-17-2013, 11:40 PM

When headlights are on. Wish it was with parking on. I think I'm suppose to splice it into the signal corners I think than

limpiabota809 · 02-17-2013, 11:48 PM

Mine are on at all times and dim out when I lock the car

Check and re-wire it then! Mine go on once the parking lights are on. Don't ask me on wiring though - I never installed it

If they are wired to the parking lights shouldn't they be dim normally (i measured 3 volts) and brighter (12 volts) and flashing when you signal?

Mine dont. Mine are bright (after 3 years) and it stays at the same level of brightness from parking lights to headlights. They don't flash either even with the turn signal. Where did you get yours?

I added depo xenons which have angel eyes built in. I was originally going to wire them like you did but i just ended up wiring them with the headlights since I drive with headlights on all the time

oAllElseFailo · 02-18-2013, 12:59 AM

Well maybe it's the brand? Mine are from umnitza that are just clipped to the standard headlights

hitmanre · 02-18-2013, 08:21 AM

Hold on did you wire it to your parking lights?

Haha I keep getting comments on the tow hook. I like it but ill take it off for now. I'm getting a gold fold down one soon off eBay.

No wait I'm sorry mine are wired to come on so long as the car is on, not wired to the parking lights, sorry about that
