I just got a set of projector headlights with 2 halo rings on each. And the halo's themselves have their own wire connections. I grounded the ground wires, But im having trouble figureing out where to connect the hot wires to. The instructions say to connect the turn signal halo to the turn signal hot wire and the headlight halo to the head light hot wire. But I dont want them on just whenever. I want them on when I want them on so thats why I have a flip switch. I use to connect my hot wires to the lighter plug for my interior neon ( not anymore, I took them out ), and I thought I could their, but I am not sure the lighterplug hotwire can put out that much voltage for all 4 halo's.

So, does anyone have a good idea as to where I should be cutting and splicing to get a nice electical current for all four halos? Im not sure if they have fuses and thats why I dont directly connect them to the battery.


Also, its a little off topic, but what are some GOOD high preformance spark plugs I can get that are good for everyday street driving and also drag racing? I am looking at NGK Iradium series. But I dont know anything really about spark plugs. Its for a B18c1 engine.

 

Run a wire from the battery to the switch inside the car or wherever you want the switch then connect the halo rings to the switch but put a inline fuse in there you can get the holders for like $2 or something at wal-mart that you just solder in.

 

Halo's use either a very small bulb or (in most cases) LED's to light up... so you should be fine running them off of a cigarette lighter plug (though that would be an ugly install)

 

If I did it off the lighter plug, I could cut and splic the hot wire off that so I can still use the lighter plug itself. So no it wouldnt be ugly, just will take a little more time. I can do it, I just wasnt sure the lighter plug could power them.

 

Ok, the angel eye hot wires are 18 caliper ( not 100% sure on that but its + or - 1 of that ) . Theres 2 hotwires per headlight and both of the wires for each headlight are cut and spliced onto a 16 caliper wire. Both of the 16 caliper wires are ran to my fire wall on the drivers side where they are both cut and spliced onto 1 , 16 caliper wire. that wire then runs directly into my car and is hooked up on my " Ignited " Flip switch. I then ran another 16 caliper wire from the other end of the flip swith to my lighter plug's hot wire.

After I put the car back together, I turn the ignition on, and the halos DONT work ... What did I do wrong? btw the ground is just fine for all 4 halos.

 

Make sure you didn't blow a fuse for the lighter. Also why did you splice the two hot wires into 1? I haven't hooked up angel eyes before and would really have to see the wiring diagram to see but is that what it told you to do? I still would have run it from the battery and put a inline fuse in there. Are you sure you have the powered wire on the right prong on the switch?

 

hmm I didnt realize that the wires had to put put on a certain prong. theres only 2 so I figured it didnt matter. ill check that out tommorow. And ill try and draw a diagram of how its set up. Oh, and the diagram the headlights came with, didnt tell me ****. Just told me to hook 1 to my head light and the other to my turn signal. lol but thats not what I want

 

Ok, heres my cheesy 1 min drawing of how my wiring is set up lol.

the 2 passenger side hot wires on the head lighters are initially cut and spliced onto 1 wire. the same is donw with the drivers side hot wires. The PS hot wire is ran to the drivers side and goes almost half way up the fender area where both the PS side wire and the drivers side wire are cut and spliced onto just 1 wire.

So its like 4 wires, to 2 wires, to 1 wire.

So the one wire is then run strait to my fire wall and goes through there, under my dash, under the center consol, under the carpet , and under my shifter where it is cut and spliced onto the lower prong. Then one more wire is cut and spliced onto the other prong and that goes under the shifter, under the carpet, inside the center consol, and is then cut and spliced onto my lighter plug wire.

The lighter plug DOES work, I have my phone charger in it and the charger works, so theres no blown fuse.. Not to mention if the fuse was blown, my stereo wouldnt run. ( it does ) So there is power running to it. Its just not getting to my headlights some how.

Maybe im cutting and splicing too much? I dont know. The wire I got was 16 caliper and the halo wires are 18 caliper ( I used 16 since I was putting 4 18 caliper wires on 1. I figured it sounded right but I know nothing about wiring haha )

So please let me know what I did wrong and how to fix it and if all possible, be able to use the wires again because thats a LOT of wire that I used and I dont want to just throw it away lol. But if I have to its not all that important lol

 

Just a quick question are you sure the angel eyes work? The prongs shouldn't matter on the switch if it is only 2 prongs not sure though you would have to read the packaging. One you are supposed to connect the power to the lights to the other but if you reverse it it should just reverse which way the switch has to be flipped. Why is the wires spliced in the spot where none connect together? Are you sure the wires are getting a good connection everywhere they are spliced? The wiring doesn't seem to have anything in it that would make it not work I would make sure the angel eyes work then try connecting to the battery directly just put a inline fuse holder that you splice in you can get them at wal-mart or somewhere like that make sure you use one of those and you should be fine. 18 guage to 16 guage wire shouldn't matter.

 

I dont know if they work, I just got them. lol They had better work. And the wire is spliced because I was running a roll of wire and I couldnt fit that through the firewall so I cut it, and then went inside my car and poked a wire through and then spliced them together.

how powerful of a fuse should I get?

 

I really don't know but I would guess 30 amps should be more than you would need and be fine I think that is what the fuse holders I have bought at wal-mart have used. I don't really see any reason why they shouldn't work wired like they are if you are sure you spliced into the hot wire going to the lighter. I would touch the ground and positive to the positive and ground terminals on your battery to make sure they work. I know you can do this with car stereo stuff but you may want to wait for somone elses opinion to make sure it is safe to do it with the angel eyes.

 

ah. thanks

But I have yet another problem with my headlights . =/

When I am parked and have them on, only 1 headlight turns on, but once I step on the gas, the other one lights up and both work fine. So.. Whats the deal with that? It sounds like there is a power issue there but like I said before, I know nothing about wiring. I am using a wire harness from my other projector headlights. and they are pretty much the same thing except my new ones are 1 piece and have a black housing. ( the angel eyes are new too but have separate wiring ) So, Any ideas?

 

Ok, I got 2 inline fuses with 30's in them, and I took out the whole setup I had and rewired the angels eyes directly to the battery using the inline fuses and it works! All I did so far was cut and splice both angel eyes on each headlight and hook them up to the inline fuses, then ran the other side of the fuses to 1 wire. I used the wire that is already connected to my flip switch so I just need to run 1 more wire from the switch to the battery. If that doesnt work, then I know its the switch that doesnt work.

Thanks for the help

 

Awsome, I was able to hook it all up. im so glad. Now they are on and work with the togle switch!. Ill post pics later
