I dont want to solder the wires. I want to get the other side of the clip... for the 194 bulb inside the cefiro... Its pretty easy to understand.

im guessing that too. ask one of the cefiro headlight distributors to see if they can send you the 194 hanesses. the headlight shouldve came with one.

ive got an amber bulb wired up in mine and it looks good with the yellow fogs and amber bulbs all around.

The harness is (normally) not included and it's not the 194 "base" part he needs... I was not able to find an exact plug to fit the 194 assembly that locks onto the back of the HL. I just used female connectors to fit the smaller pins in back.

Anyone wanna be my hero?

And do a complete write up on cefiros, explaining the H4 harness, the 194, and any other mods i need to do to get this into my I30, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks if you do.

im sure theyre supposed to come with it... i guess where you buy its different. anyways, i put HIDs in mine and theres no real cutoff or anything of that sort. maybe its my eyelids but its almost just scattered everywhere. im thinking of retrofitting projectors in there to project the light better and get that cutoff.
as for purchasing cefiro headlights, check liuspeedtuning.com or paradox-systems.com. you can either get the OE ones or the blacked out housing ones which are aftermarket.

besides looks, there might be a possibility of less output by the "smoked" ones compared to the oe style due to the outer relflectors painted black. dont know if its been proven or not. as long as it puts out more than the 9004's im happy.
