I recently bought a set of Eagle Eyes CCFL Projectors. I bought a 5K 55W HID kit with relay harness to go along with it. I'm not familiar with the connections to hook the kit up as it doesn't seem to be like the other plug and play connectors that go to OEM headlights. I've never spliced any electrical lines before which seems like what might have to be done. Is this a challenging task for a novice level? Can somebody shed some light on this for me. Maybe a little better than that pun, lol
I took a pic to show what the connection wires.
Thanks in advance folks.
Thanks Ralf I tried. Haven't heard back from him yet. He's been working late. I'm going to be doing some mods this weekend and was going to try and fit this one in.
NP man. I know I've been working a crap load too. OT, 10-11 hr shifts, and then school on top of it. Its getting a little bit better since I do get at least some day light when I leave work now, haha. Damn it spring what are you waiting on!?!...smh
Anyways thanks for that explanation. I'm going to start on these tomorrow if it does break 40 deg like they say here before starting my suspension mods all day Saturday. Sucks not having a garage. :gaah:
First picture is the drivers side headlight. Just the hid ballast is connected to the hid bulb.
Second picture is passenger side headlight. Hid ballast is connected to the hid bulb and the hid relay harness is connected to the stock halogen wires.
Hmm so I been reading a lot of threads on this site and I didn't want to start a new thread for this question. I have Spyder CCFL projectors also and the halogen bulb size is a H1. So will H1 HID bulbs fit without any clearance issues? I know the OP and Ejbiers both have HID's in their projectors, what size bulbs are you all using?
Were you able to figure out what hid bulb to use in the spyder ccfl projectors?
I have h11 hid already in my 2007 impala, but I wanted to get the spyder projectors and wanted HID instead of the bulbs it comes with, because I hear they are weak.
Not sure about these particular lights, but working with the 7th gen halos, the h1 bulb kinda fits. On the HID bulb, there is a connection running from the tip of the bulb to the base. The only way they fit is for this connection to go into the small "slot" in the h1 bulb opening. After that, you just need to clamp the metal retention piece down (not exactly easy, but it can be done with some force). AFAIK, no HID bulb will fit perfectly in a halogen h1 opening, but the h1 HID bulb does fit, although not perfectly as intended.
Yeah, I've heard nothing but bad things about the light output of any of these aftermarket projector lights. Retrofitting is your best bet, and will end up being the same price as the crappy eBay lights with a superior result
K thx for the response. I have tried researching around a bit and noticed ppl complaining about low light output from them. I decided to continue using my hids in original headlight assembly. Seems like best option.
I want to look into adding fog lights on my LT that doesn't originally come with them. I am hoping I can do this by just buying the inserts for the bumper that have holes for fog lights, not sure with fog lights to go with. I would like color to match my 6k hids but don't want to do what someone else mentioned where the ground is so lit up white with them on that you can't see/distinguish white road markers.
Either that or just buy a 4 channel amp to power my speakers.
