Ah, so glad to help you out! It's definitely a unique and complex undertaking. I wish you luck on your project. Let me know if I can help out with info. This is years old now, but most of my memory is still there with it 🤣 Cheers
I once watched your video, did everything with my headlights months after but remembered you UV protected them and no one from ytb I saw did that, spent weeks finding your video again, finally I can finish the process completely and ensure thy gon still be well for years to come, thanks man, great video, detailed. P.D. how are they still holding up? cheers man
Hey, thanks for the support. The lights themselves are good inside. I would note to REALLY solidify the eyelids, if you do them inside. I had one slightly shift because I didn't use enough sealant. It's not enough to bother me yet. This video is actually a few years old, so they held up well in general. The UV coat deteriorates after 1-2 years, but you only need to recoat it. You could do something more permanent though. You could clear coat them with paint as well. I've recoated my headlights once in a few years. I do need to do it again soon though. I can see spots where it's coming off. Hope that helps you, cheers
Great video! I recently installed switchback Angel eyes and wired them to the original H8 bulb. There were two brown wires and one yellow going to the H8. I wired in the positive to the yellow wire and the two brown wires to the negative of my Angel eye. It worked for about an hour and then one Angel stopped working followed by the other. Do you know if there is any reason this issue could have occurred ?
Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm trying to remember, lol... I'll do my best. There are 2 yellow wires. You may have wired the pin #3 to the angel eye positive. You want to wire pin #1 yellow to this (as it's the constant). The white pin #12 from the headlight wires is for the turn signal input on the angle eye. The brown pin #4 is the ground to the negative on the angel eye. I also had to wire inline resistors because my angel eyes were flashing very quickly. If you didn't do that, maybe there's a problem there. These cars tend to sense low resistance as no bulb or burned out, and then shut off power. For example, swapping the interior dome light to an LED will allow it to work for 20 seconds, but then it will shut off because the car senses no resistance and thinks it's an error. I've even coded in the LED functions and used CANBUS bulbs, but it still persists 🤣 I'm assuming you left access to the wires from the top. I would pull the power wire and bench test it on a 12V battery. I'll bet they function fine because it's unlikely both burned out, unless you shorted something or pinched a wire, or have an open wire that happened to rub on something while moving. One other thing, these headlights have overheated brittle wiring where the sheaths may crumble over time. It's possible that by working in there, you opened a wire up to shorting. You can use a multimeter or test light to try and trace continuity and voltage back through the wires involved. Additionally, I'd check the fuses for the headlights. If you popped a fuse (assuming there's a direct one for the halos) then it's likely you have an open wire somewhere. Good luck
I wonder the same thing. It actually pulls itself down and puts stress at the fender, lol. I bought a new fender bracket to pull it up, but I have never it on. The good news is that I hardly notice it anymore.

Hello friend, I sent you a message on Instagram to see if you could help me with some things about the video. I have little experience and I'm doing this job in my car but I have days stuck in the wires
If you have some questions, just post them up here. I don't know how much direct help I can be since this video is years old. I will try to remember what I can.
@@fixitcolton What happens is that I connect the cables as they are in the video and the LED turns on but after a few seconds it turns off and so all the time
@@fixitcolton Angel's eyes I had to buy some different ones since the ones you put in the description no longer sold them, which have a relay where they have the connections for angel's eyes and angel's eyes and their relay I connected it to the rl45 relay, with rs40 socket that you used in the video, the directional ones I did not modify them I will leave them as they are And my other question is once I connect everything in this light (I'm doing the left light, on the pilot's side),I'll have to remove the light from angel oem's eye and put the new

I’ve been looking for this for a while now. Thanks for making this brother! Gonna start the project soon.

Why these M3 47:01 bumper for pre lci have that big gap between headlight everyone i see have it including mine too

Where’s the red from?
The red in the lights is from the RGB LED behind the projector lens. I installed it in the video.

What LED? You have to be more specific. Also, what kind of specs or functions do the LED's installed have?
@@fixitcolton It's the rgb demon's eye led that you put in the description of the video
