![]() ![]() I am going to put an HID low beam system in as I am still not happy with Halogen bulbs (with both original and aftermarket headlights). I put so much into the setup I have now that I am going to run with it as is for now. Pass the word on and share your experience!!!! It is excellent forums like this that share info and enable people like me to learn and move forward with cool upgrades like this. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I am not an electronic nerd or super geek figuring all of this out. The instructions that come with the headlight units are worthless. Because LEDs draw less current, the system thinks a bulb may be out until you add the load resistor if you add LEDs. This requires adding a load resistor so that the LED bulbs don't hyper flash (the fast flashing you see when someone has one of their bulbs out). I also took out the stock turn signal bulbs and replaced them with LED switchback bulbs (size 1157) which gives you LED white color for a parking light instead of yellow but will illuminate yellow when the turn signal or flashers are on. They do sell this setup with HID lights but I was hesitant to take the risk with the problems I have seen with others. I replaced the low beam bulbs that came with the headlights with 8000k bulbs because the ones that come with the lights are a serious downgrade from the original headlights. With my setup, I can put the original lights back in and there will be no evidence that anything was changed if I have a warranty issue. I did this via power at jumper fuse out of the fuse box so I do not splice any of the original factory wiring. I have my Halos setup to be on any time the engine is running (or 2 clicks of the ignition button). ![]() The Halos are separate and have a ballast unit (included) with wiring outside of the housing so that is your key for DRLs. The LED strips are wired internally to the parking lights in the housing so that is not an option to run as DRLs. If you want DRLs then it is a little more involved. It still looks great and If that is what you are looking for. You can light the Halos and LEDs just tuning the parking lights on without the headlights but you will have to have the parking lights and tail lights on to make that work. The Halos and LED strip lights up with the parking lights and headlights plug and play. You unplug your OEM headlight unit and remove them (which takes a little effort on the first try) place the new ones in that match up perfectly and plug the original harness in. Here is the scoop on Eagle Eyes.It all depends on what you are looking for: ![]()
