Andre3000 55 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 Ok, um i bought some of the ellipsoid hellas for my e30, a prefacelift M325i, and also a facelift wiring loom. After tinkering and trying to match up colours and the geography of the wires iv managed to wire in inside bulbs of the low beams and the left side high beam. I think someone has messed with the wire before as there are some messy connections, and this is making it extremely difficult to figure out whats going on. If anyone has wiring diagrams or previous experience in wiring these lights id be keen for some advice. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted July 21, 2008 Outer lamps are dip, inners high. Because the outer lamps in this system are a single filament bulb - they are a permenent dip & stay on in both beams. Yellow is dip beam (outer) White is high beam (inner) Brown is earth Can't remember park light wires off hand but will be grey with a trace (different trace either side) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Just installed my facelift projectors and HID's today. Took my autosparky mate about 30mins total. So stoked. Were free. I think my wiring would not help though. As it has been altered for the HID's. Which are soooooo much better than the normal bulbs. H1 HID's are dirt cheap too. Let me know if you want me to check what goes where. Edited July 22, 2008 by driftit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
