Default Projector headlights for my 98 accord

hello...i bought projector headlights with angel eyes and they came with red/black wires to probably operate the angel eyes....i'm wondering how hard it is to set them up and where i connect the wires to.

heum.. i'll try anything... red and black wire are usually the battery wire, they'll probably go on the batery with an on/off switch ... i have a 98 acc too and the best place for positionning the switch is probably juste under your armrest (**** between the two benches) under the handle where you usually open the litlle place to stor things .

okay..those black and red wires connect to the battery...soo i need some other wire to put it through my vehicle to the armrest to switch them ON....but wat happens if i just connect those wires to the battery, could the angel eyes work with the normal light switch for the vehicle?

if you simply connect it to the battery the angel eyes will always stay on.

You can try wiring into your headlight switch (I believe some have done it this way) so they'll turn on when you turn your headlights on. Good thing about doing it this way is you don't have to worry about remembering to turn them off like you would with a separate switch.

I wired mine in so that when I turn my park lights on, they will come on - as well as the marker bulbs. When I turn the actual lights on, they are still on.

Even easier way. Wire the angel eyes to either your cornering lights or headlights. If you do it to the cornering lights, when you just have your parking lights on the angel eyes will also be on. If you do it to your headlights, when you turn your headlights on the angel eyes will also be on. I have projectors with angel eyes and prefer wiring them to my cornering lights so that when my parking lights are on, the angel eyes are on and then when the headlights are on, the angel lights are on. But, I'm getting rid of my projectors soon and switching to black housings. Basically its up to you on how you wanted to wire them. Just wanted to give you my advice on how I would do it.

Also, you could wire them to a different switch in your car and can turn on/off the angel eyes that way, but you rick leaving them on sometimes, where as if you have them wired to your cornering lights/headlights, if you leave them on and forget to turn your lights off theres that beeping noise telling you your lights are on.

what ive done with some leds is juat tap into the accesory fuse (both prongs are positive) on the driver side fuse panel, then run the black to some ground... they will always stay on, but only with the keys in ignition... or somewhere along the positive wire, hook up a switch between the lights and the fuse... id suggest mounting the switch under the dash/near hood release since u might wanna leave them on as daytime lights AND at night cuz they look cool, and will turn off when u pull out the key... but the switch is convenient if ur doing a driveby or something and dont want any lights lol

btw in case u havent noticed(at least on my 2000 accord) you can leave the headlights on and they will turn themselves off after 20seconds, and come back on when you unlock the car(useful for finding ur car at night i guess)
