ebay headlights: best wiring scheme?

[stevediraddo]

So I bought a car and it came with these really, REALLY cheap ebay headlights. They look sexy but the previous owner completely fucked them up. I just got around to replacing every LED and two H1 bulbs (i hate H1 bulbs with a passion). I don't want to just put them back in the way they were, because nothing was connected before except the low beams and turn signals. Now that its all working, what would be the best way to connect it all?



I was toying with the idea of making the inner LEDs into the turn signals. I could set up the halos as the DRLs (with or without the inner LEDs??) but that would involve a lot of rewiring (the DRL has a relay system to control the highs versus the lows). If it all looks good I will consider a similar setup for my CB, considering its only $120 or so for the set.

Thanks in advance

why don't you like H1 bulbs?

[stevediraddo]

I find them small and brittle, hard to change, and i dont like the rubber boot / blade connector scheme. Rather have nice plugs like the 9006/9007

oh ok I see. I have H1 bulbs but theyre hid from TRS so they don't use blades they use the insulated clips that go to the ballast. theyre still kinda tricky to put in though. I wonder if they would fit in your hadlights? probably get better light output even with those "projectors"

The light output isnt a big deal they are plenty bright, these ebay headlights were designed for halogen H1s so the el cheapo brands light up quite nicely. If I ever need brighter, GE nighthawk platinum 2's have been ordered.

SINCE I didn't get a timely response regarding wiring, I decided to try something out:



So far it works well, but as with all ebay angel eyes setups, the halos are not bright enough. I put in the brightest LEDs I could find. I think I'm going to have to go CCFL on them. At this moment I have a broken H1 bulb and a burned corner amber bulb
