Installing E36 headlights with Angel Eyes

[Smac01 12]

Guys,

I just picked up a brand new pair of Depo headlights with Angel Eyes for a good price.

(They are the same ones on TM from Eurolights)

There is a wiring diagram - see below - but I don't understand how that will work. It just seems to be wiring it up to the battery without any connection to the switch?

I'm not particularly flash at wiring so keen to get your help - how will that work??

Thanks!

They should plug in at the back. No wiring work needed?

Or are you talking about wiring in the angel eyes?

[Smac01 12]

I thought it would be simple, but see the diagram.

Like when you install an HID kit, there is a separate plug going from the existing wiring to know when to power it.

I can't figure that out with these?

I'm being a muppet so hopefully someone can provide clarity. Haha

The diagram isn't to scale.

Looks like that's basically the loom down the the headlights.

Find those wire and splice in to match the wires to the ones shown in the picture.

To clarify, what is the excess wiring for? Angel eyes, or headlights?

Got a pic of the actual product you bought?

It looks like what the diagram doesn't show is splicing the cable into the plug with 4 pins (see last photo).

This is what you mean Blackie?

It's all wired up to that plug with 4 pins....

[Lucan 196]

Nope that plug with 4 pins matches up with another from the car loom.

Look inside the engine bay, there's a plug that screws into that 4pin input.

The wiring needed will be for the angel eyes, looks like you can DIY splice into you parking lights.

The headlight and highbeam will still work without the angel eyes though.

[Smac01 12]

Got ya, that makes sense.

So I could just splice the Angel Eyes into the parking lights as I want them to be my parking lights.

Thanks mate - legend.

Turns out these were actually plug and play!

If anyone wants photos, let me know.

They look awesome.

More details man! im after some nice angel eyes .. how easy to attach inside the headlights? got any pics?

[Smac01 12]

Josh,

I'll take some pics later.

I actually picked up brand new sealed Depo units with Angel Eyes instead of park lights - like the E39 ones.

They are these ones on TradeMe here (although I paid nowhere near that much)

I looked into LED angels to attach to existing headlights, and Umnitza looked the best.

Think Nick's pretty clued up about the options.

Josh, here you go!

You can see they don't look too unlike the OEMs

Took about an hour to do, all plug and play.

Awesome man, they look pretty sweet!

Thanks for the pics

So you bought the full headlight kit not just the angel eyes? I'm keen to get just the eyes and attempt to install them myself (which I'll prob f**k up )

[Smac01 12]

No worries man.

Yeah they're the complete headlight.

I was too worried that I'd ruin a pair of good headlights by doing DIY!

But the LED Umnitzas do look sick.

They look really good, where did you get them?

[Smac01 12]

Off trademe.

You can buy them off Eurolights but think they're around $550 incl shipping from Aussie.

I didn't pay that much!
