No idea why! Then just plug into factory plugs. the black and red wires are for the angel eyes (halo rings) i wired mine and mums into the park lights. if you have two sets of red and black on each light 1 will be for halos and the other for an led light in the lower middle of headlight. hope this helps!

briancol 3 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 I installed a set in my coupe a few weeks ago and had the same problem, ie. where do all these wires go, and ended up taking the car to the Auto Electricians. He did the work ok however, he did have to replace the relay. Told me that the standard relay was not the right one for Angel Eyes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember exactly, was nearly a year ago! Mine were brand new and came with no instructions. Yea i just 'spliced them into the factory wires using clips. You can get these little blue clips from dick smith (i have no idea what they are called) But you use them and then there is no need to cut any wires at all - they clip around you originals wires. There are 4 wires (can't remember colours) but 1 is for parks, 1 is for dip, 1 is for full and the last is either positive or negative (someone correct me!) but basicly you need to work out with a meter whch one is for parks and which is the 'neutral/power' then wire into those two accordingly. If your unsure just put the headlights in - you'll have dip and full lights with the factory plugs, and get an auto sparky or someone with a small amount of elec knowledge to wire in the angels. I'll try adn check colours of wires tonight for you - however they may be different from car to car....??? Edited August 28, 2008 by bmpower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmpower 3 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 Just checked my car at lunch and the 4 wires are coloured as follws: Purple/Yellow Brown Blue/White Green/Yellow My red wires from headlights are fed into the Puple/yellow factory wire and my black ones are fed into the factory brown wire. Mine have been wired up like this for a year and never had any issues, apart from one headlight that every now and again decides not to work on dip - which is fixed by a small bang on the headlight, haha, haven't had a chance to look at it, and it doesn't happen very often anyway! Hope this helps! Kerry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kerry. lol awesome thanks for your help those dicksmith things sound like the way to go and if i stuff up (although it seems hard to do so if is as simple as clipping) then i'll go down the auto sparky my car looks surprisingly like your red one (GO THE REDS!) so i'll post a pic once i have em in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
