INSTALLED Light Wurkz Orion V2 Halo Rings
 
so finally this weekend i took the time to work on my headlight mod. The process with the headlights wasnt too bad but when it came time to remove my bumper... oh my goodness, it was hell cause i have big hands and arms and when i had to get that last screw on top inside the fender well.... jeezus christmas what an experience! anyways, here are a few photos a long the way...and i think it was well worth the trouble!

PIC1: after i finally pryed apart my headlight, make sure to remove any factory glue so u can seal it back up when done

PIC10: during the process, i decided i wanted to paint the headlight housing flat black so my halos can stand out more and later i will install HID's in my fogs :D so i went for it!
I removed the part that i didnt want painted which was the turn signal reflector

PIC11: i sanded the headlight reflector
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...c/a4692128.jpg

PIC12: applied primer to the headlight reflector
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...c/7c514dfa.jpg

PIC13: painted the headlight reflector flat black
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...c/25a9165f.jpg

PIC14: drilled a small hole in the area with the red circle to get the wires out and reinstalled the turn signal reflector

PIC15: took a break and ate some nice delicious home cooked rice with sauteed veggies and shrimp because the next part u want done right or your halo will be introduced to rain lol

PIC16: got my silicone and rubber gloves ready cause its gonna get dirty
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...c/b1152a9f.jpg

PIC17 and 18: i applied a little bit of glue in some areas to hold it tight so i can create a nice seal around the entire headlight. Dont be afraid to get your hands dirty and i recommend wearing rubber gloves so that u can move the silicone around to where u need it to be. make sure to apply enough glue so that it blocks any water from getting in, in other words, dont be stingy with the silicone.

PIC20: this is how i wired mine, its personal preference. i wired them to the parking lights so when i turn the switch to enable the parking lights, my halos turn on.

The passenger side Halos brown (-) wire is connected to the black wire on the parking light harness and the halos white (+) wire is connected to the next wire over which is brown/white on the harness. The Driver side Halos brown (-) wire is connected to the black wire on the parking light harness and the halos white (+) wire is connected to the next wire over which is purple on the parking light harness. Heres an example...

thanks!
i did the same thing with my last car and had no issues, all i did was add HIDs to my fogs and i was good ;)

Are you going to use projectors since you blacked out your reflectors? How are HID's supposed to reflect from black paint?

2FST2LIV2YNG2DY 03-16-2011 09:40 AM

Nooooooo. I'm converting my fogs to HID's not the headlights. I said it like 2 times.

I like the look of the halo with blacked out background. I like fogs with HID's installed. I have enough light just by the HID fogs, I'm not blind lol. Its all personal preference and it works for me and that's all I can say :-)

I had thought of doing it this way and it has the look I wanted. looks great brother, we decided to just tint the healdlight assembly and add HIDs which worked for us the will be fine. Good luck and props for doing it your way

here is how we did ours
