I recently installed my Eurolamps housings with Phillips Xtreme power bulbs(+80%)and they are way brighter. My low beam intensity is about as bright as my stock high beams.

I would say I my new low beams are brighter than my stock high's. And the highs are 10x better. I just don't see $400.00 worth of brighter.

WTF- I installed mine as per the instructions and on low all four highs on and on high all four highs and lows are on-both high and low filaments on all four lights.
First they sent me a 2 light harness even though I ordered the 4 lamp kit plus 2 extra housings as spares. Then they charge me 41 dollars more to get the 4 lamp harness and it's not right. Either they're gonna make this right and give me some $ back for the PITA or the harness is going back and hid's are going in.

I have no regrets about the bosch housings, so eurolamps are of no use to me. The harness is what the problem is. Either they fix it or I return it and buy an HID kit.

I have had these lights for about a month and havent had time to install them so now im making time but have a few question and i know some people have already installed them so if someone can please help..?

I was woundering if someone could post some pics where you mounted the relays. And on that subject my harness only has two...wtf? And im kinda confused with the grey and brown wires coming from the headlamps. I know they are not needed but what did you do with them? Or did anyone actually wire them? One more thing, the trigger cable (green black and white wires) just plugs into the O.E. Headlamp connnectors?? And which one is that? Pics would be appreciated!

Thanks guys.

Thanks!

I dont have any pics but I mounted the relays on the front side of the drivers inner fenderwell (right were you main electronics juction is). Just take the relays out out, mark and drill your hole and make sure there is enough room to re-insert the relay in case they ever need replacing.

There is only supposed to be 2 relays, You're good there.

Yes the green black and white just plug into the O.E. headlamp connectors. I shoved mine in real good and taped them back real well.

I didn't do anything with the gray and brown wires inside the lamp. I may wire them in later but there aren't bright at all and not worth the time.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Here is where I mounted the relays when I upgraded to projectors with HID:


640x480
1024x768
2592x1944

Here are more pics of the harness I made:

I'm breathing some life into an old thread. Those of you that bought the wire, lamp and buld kit... Can you see worth a damn at night when you have just the dims on? I sure as hell can't... I have adjusted the **** out of my lights so I know that isn't the problem, I've replaced the bulbs, im getting pleanty of power, they just aren't bright at all.

I did find some 100/140 watt bulbs that I swapped in there and they are much brighter for a little while but the bulbs turn a yellow color. Almost as if its caused but too low of voltage or too high maybe. So I went back to 65 watts.

Either way something has to change. I can't drive at night with these things. I even went so far as to having my eyes checked. Does anyone have any recommendations?
