Bluestreak gets an eye transplant
Today I installed my RS headlights with the SJM dual mode RGB halo kit.
To start I had to remove the front fascia. There are several good DIY threads for this so I did not document that process.
Next I removed the two bolts on both the top and bottom of the headlight housings (forgot to get a pic of the second bottom bolt) and replaced them with the RS lights.
Since this is an LS, and not an RS car, I needed the Ottobody harness (in the large circle) to make this work. For most installations you would use the white wire to power the halos, but with the multicolor kit from SJM you use the connector in the smaller circle.
Next I connected the halo wires of the SJM kit and ran them into the cab on the driver's side under the dash.
The halo wires are then connected to the halo control box
and from the control box wires are run to the control panel.
I wanted to be able to turn my halos on regardless of whether the ignition was on or not, so I found an "always hot" connection under the driver side of the dash to connect the power wire. I also ran the groung wire to the black bolt seen above the power wire.
I am quite pleased with the end result and now have color changing OEM halos on my LS!
You can combine the Red, Blue, and Green to make multiple colors of choice and there is also a strobe function with white and your selected color. As an example of the color mixing here is Blue and Red maxed out together:
