Eagle Eye Headlights with HIDs

[todrules]

I'm having a problem with the passenger side halo, too. Checked the splices, and they look good. I'm going to try restripping the wire and resplicing and checking the connection at the bulb this weekend. Not sure what else to try after that.

But it is kind of strange that everybody who has a problem is on the passenger side... of course it could be coincidence.

Here's a couple photos of my Eagle Eyes. Note that I took the wheels off and the wheel wells for easy access to the fascia bolts. Love the Eagle Eyes and HIDs.

got my Eagle Eyes & HID kit yesterday...installed the HIDs into the headlights this evening...all is ready for a Sunday install...I've been taking lots of pics & plan on writing up a detailed DIY when I'm done

They look good with the HID.... not so much with just halogen. I wonder what type light is used to light the halo. Might be able to make it a different color.

I still prefer the retro look. Not a european look fan.

The Eagle Eyes halo is a CCFL type, containing gas/ chemical in glass/plastic tube. There is no way to alter color as far as I know.

Mine works. It's just significantly dimmer than the driver side. But not all the time. :/ lol.

Maybe that the passesnger side parking light in our cars receives less electricity than the driver side?

i have a question. okay i got my headlights and all but i was wondering. the stock bulbs has like 3 wires and all that. when u remove the stock bulb to put the hids. dont you have to take off the cables too? i know the factory harness is attach to that too? so can you please explain me how to convert to HIDS?

I bought the HID kit from VME.

So you put your hid bulb in the EE socket like normal. The 2 pin EE bulb connector is where the 2 spade connectors{black/red} shown in the picture go.

Then on the hid harness the power supply 2 pin connector goes in the ballast.

The other 2 single wire hid plugs coming from the hid bulb connect together to the hid harness.

Last the EE 3 pin plug{blue/black/white} connects to your factory headlight plug.

Hope that helps.

You don't remove any cables, everything gets used. In the pic below, the circle plugs into the HID wires shown with the arrow. The part in a square plugs into the factory plug as normal. What the circle does is take the low beam signal (and power if you don't install a relay) from the car to the HID ballast. The third (white) wire controls the high beam. Hope this helps!

It means it uses H9 bulbs but it has a connection converter that allows it to hook up to the factory H13 harness on the Camaro itself.

So I'm going to be pulling the trigger on these soon. If they're wired to the parking lights, do the halos stay on while driving?

[cntryman77]

ok, here is the DIY for the adding the HID kit to these

If you wire the halo's to the parking lights, they will come on when you turn your light switch to the right once, turn it twice, push the fog light button and they will turn on automatically at night time. Your halo's will always be on with your parking lights.

Sounds perfect, thanks for the response man!

Well!!!! HIDS are installed i went 8K...

at first i got worried because i thought high beams wasnt working..all i heard was clunk sound...i was like...mm maybe something is blocking it...comes to be...its like that!!! easy to install hids! i didnt know you didnt have to unscrew the back plate...so i stripped one screw..owells

[xpanda305x]

how do ya like so far?

[xpanda305x]

question do we need to run a relay system or not? i have one but from my old setup..h13 bixenon. would it work. i have all the plugs pluged in just need the factory harness and they work hi n lows but is a relay needed?

[xpanda305x]

look



Red Squares are to the ballast
Greenish Square is to the power
Orange square is to the Grounder

but the Red Circle is to??? its a 2 prong typish connector?

the cable just sitting in the middle was used in the H13 Bi xenon kit and im guessing not to be used in this install?

help please?

[xpanda305x]

and this is how i have it setup in the garage right now..




all that it is missing is the factory connector which is in the car! lmaoo.

would it be good to run it like that ? i mean...it will not have a relay but would it be bad? also would my relay work as posted earlier ?

and if i do go relay. where would the wires that are connected from the hids in the headlight that go to the ballast go?

[H3LL1ON]

Does the wiring diagram showing the optional relay setup that I posted above not help?
