Hey all who get to own such an awesome car. I want to show you my my progression.
Here is my 2007 9c1 on the day I bought it:
Here it is with the mods. (New lower bumper with police brake air intake, LED spotlight, onstar antenna, new upper and lower grille)
Here it is with my new 2012 Impala LT (also my last day at owning the 9C1!)
Here is my new 2012 LT. I plan on adding LED Spyder Tails and possibly halos, maybe a spoiler and still thinking about a bumper and grille swap like i did with my 9C1! ANy other ideas for mods?
How are they wired? Did they come "pre-wired" and you just connected them to the stock connectors? When new, they are not "plug and play" - you have to wire LED's and Halos separately. But the low-beams should work - unless the bulbs are bad (if that's even possible - not sure if the H1 bulbs can work as high-beams, but not low-beams).
Daytime running lights are just low beams (different intensity, I guess). Just wondering if the issues are all bulb-related...
Were they sold as "working"? If so, depending on what you paid, I might fight with the seller... You can get them brand new for $240....
I would say the guy hooked them in wrong, what size bulbs do they use? I doubt both low beam bulbs are dead. Make sure they are hooked up, should be the green wire, also check the fuses.
One last question for when i go to auto zone, are the headlight bulbs replaceable? I tried to stupid remove one as you would a normal bulb and broke some soldering(between bulb and connector)... Which I fixed it, and plan to buy new headlight bulbs and connectors at auto zone tonight and then playing around with wiring.
These headlights I presume are spyder or eBay.. they say eagle eye on the lense.. TIA everyone wiring these isnt a porblem just determining if a bulb broke or something like that
I just took a look at my spare set of Spyder CCFL halo headlights (black) and they actually say "Sonar" on the bottom of the lens (under the turn-signal bulb) - along with DOT info...
EDIT: Now that I look closer at yours, I believe that yours are NOT Spyder - but actually Spec-D halo headlights (I think that is the other brand). Completely different style (my turn-signal bulb area looks completely different).'
EDIT: Hmm, maybe they are not Spec-D (which is a good thing!). I see them listed as "Unbranded/Generic" and "Eagle Eyes" (like you mentioned). Definitely not Spyder though. I was wondering about the "NO HID" warning sticker as I've never seen that on my Spyder headlights.
I'll tinker with in I a couple hours and come back if I need some help. Thanks for all your help everyone. Sorry for the spelling and grammar errors I'm on mobile.
These headlights are beautiful can't wait to get them working!
If you can get those halos to run in full function, you will have a one hell of a deal on some nice headlights. Hit with some polishing compound and they should clear right up.
Also if you are wanting to sell/donate your stock (silver) grilles, i will take them off your hands. k3:
Well, I got everything working. The projector bulbs were out (both of them).
Need to get these polished and find a gasket? At the junk yard and set the beams and they will be good to go!
I got the SS style grills in black in the mail. However I'm debating keeping my silver grills it's a tough debate I'm having in my head. Either way I'm dipping the symbols from and back black next.
If I do get rid of the silver grilles if you'd like to pay for a small fee just to cover shipping I could get them to you but give me a day to decide.
Got new tires and rims today. Ill get pics of those. Also had to take my projector halo lights off. They werent bright and the beam adjusters were broken so I started a return. They were damn good looking however.
