how hard is it to get the bumper off?

15 minutes.

6-8 10mm nuts and bolts, and a whole bunch of plastic fasteners.

Not generally a fan of aftermarket lights at all, but these look downright AWESOME!! I just sanded my stockers the other day, but I'm gonna have to add these to the rainy day shopping list.

So you didnt use the Ballast that came with the DDM hids? You use the old big box looking ones not the slim?

One guy says he doesn't like the slim ballast because of the Long warm up time
(higher fail rate).

I want the headlights and fog lights to be close to the same color but I am worried that the 55w and the 35w will put out a different color due to the wattage.

I got mine delivered last night and was looking them over. Did anyone else notice that the projectors don't quite sit in the middle of the Halo? They are both abit off to one side and down.

I haven't installed them yet, if they are level and adjust fine I guess it doesn't really matter, it just caught me by surprise.

Also if anyone is wondering, they have the Up/Down adjustment screw in the same position as OEM as well as what appears to be a Left/Right adjustment screw on the back. Both adjustments are internal and independent of the housing positioning.

I did not notice that however they adjust fine and still have a fairly crisp cutoff line.

Are you guys still happy with your ebay halo headlights? Which seller did you's wind up going with?

Good to know, thanks.

Unfortunately Fuzzy's pictures no longer display. Could you guys post up some pictures of what the headlights (and tail lights) look like all lit up at night, as well as what bulbs/ballasts you used? I like the looks of Fuzzy's in the video in the OP, but just wonder what other bulbs look like.

Also, what'd you guys wind up doing about the headlight washer mechanism? Can you just disconnect and crimp the hose somehow, without causing damage? Or maybe just pull a fuse to disable?

Lastly, can anyone post on their experiences with hooking the halos up to the DRLs?

Thanks a lot guys.

There is a place to mount the washer hose on the new headlights to block them off.

Halos will run with the DRLs as a plug and play. They use the same pin the small front corner light used which runs all the time i believe.

Andringa

From the factory that small front corner light is on the same circuit as the running/parking lights. Only way they are on is if you have the headlight switch in the "Running Light" or "Headlight" position.

Or if the light sensor turns on the headlights.

The DRL are the only thing on by default during the day.

That's what I thought. Any suggestions on how one would tie the halos into the DRL's?

I'm going to have a real learning experience with wiring soon. I have LED switch-back DRL's that I'll be installing sometime soon, as well as the possibility of these headlights if I scrounge up the cash.

Looking to do my halo headlights with HIDS and clear turn/fog lights with HIDS all at one time. Anyone know anythnig about switchbacks?

wes8398

Fuzzy and others know WAAAAY more than I do about this, but I recently purchased some switchback bulbs that I'll be installing in the somewhat near future... Once I have someone help me out with how to wire them up. I know I'll get knocked for not buying "high quality" enough, but after many messages back and fourth with the vendor "fyreflys" (eBay), I elected yo go with their F7 switchback bulbs for my DRL/signal. Have a look.
Also, Google search for "cts-v led DRL switchback" or something to that effect and you'll find a useful how-to posted over at caddy forums. That's the only resource I have right now.

Just waiting on my HIDS and clear fog/turns. The quality of these headlights look really good.

Yeah I know I just posted a CF link. I hate CF. That's alot of work just for some switchbacks.

I'm trying to order the HID kits but don't have the headlight in front of me right now. What bulb do I need to select for the HID kits?

FuzzyLog1c

H7 for the low beams. You could have just looked up the product page. Make sure you get better H1 bulbs for the high beams--the ones included are terrible.
