before u cut and rewire everything, those projectors dont have a good beam pattern and aren't designed for HIDs

I would say give it a try, but rather than just cutting the wires use male and female connectors so that if you don't like the way they look you can put them in your foglights. I'm very interested in how this comes out as I too have the projectors and have been thinking about geting a pair of h3 hids.

As far as how to wire them up? I don't really know but I would try to follow the wires up starting with the socket and figure out which is + and -. Did the hids come with instructions? How much were they and where did you get them?

Installing HID to Halo Projectors !

I made the same mistake of purchasing the Halo's, i must agree that the beam pattern is prerry ****y. Thje only things thats holding me back from pulling them is that they look awsome......
I just purchased a HID kit (H3) and still haven't got it, i was wondering if you were sucesful in installing it and if you could give me up heads up about installing them !!!
your help is greatly appreciated.
