I have some black ebay projectors and my question is what color is the neg and pos, there are two wires, one red, and the other white. These are the ones for the led angel eyes..Anyone know?

y2KAOSMax

Usually red is positive, so if that is true then white would be negative. Don't quote me on this one. I don't have the lights. Just going off my experience with wiring.

Did the seller mention what car they are off of? I would contact the seller.

hows the light brightness? are the bulbs replaceable and what will u replace them with?

young1976

if the wires go directly to the bulb or LED that lights the angel eyes then try it one way, if it doesn't light, then try it the other way. It's a light bulb. But if there are circuitry behind it, then you might want to make sure. Red is usually (+)

Yeah figured it out, having trouble getting the halos to work, where are they supposed to hook up to exactly? Tried hooking it up to the wires that connect to the blue bulb (the one above the blinker, it stays on constantly), but it didn't work, so I'm guessing not enough current to power up the halo? Will hooking it up to the side markers suffice?

can't u just hook it up straight to the battery?

JayMax2000

I ran halo wires into the running lamp wires so when I put on my parking lights the halos come on with them.

Maxi113

iTrader: (3)

u mean the headlights? the high beams or lows?

JayMax2000

no, the little lights in the upper corners of the headlights, I ran the halo wires into the wires that power those little lights ( running lamps)

i wired mine seperatly with a independant relay and switch.
how come people say they are greensih white when they are actually light blue...? iunno, that just popped into my head.

Maxi113

iTrader: (3)

i tried running the wires to that today and it didn't work..the red goes to the green and the white to the white right?

You know what happened, the leds in the right head light are blown!! The person I bought this off of, he's from the org, didn't tell me they were blown..So now I have to open these up and change the LEDs..I'm going to have to do both sides since I'm going with a different color than the one that came with the lights...What's the size for the led? The lights are in my car now, the blinkers are super bright! As for the output these things are fine, it is sorta spread out, but I can see! I'll take pics and toss on my cardomain site tomorrow maybe..I need the led size tho so I can go on ebay and get some new ones Thanks guys for your help btw!

i dont think you l.e.ds are blowen i had the same problem with mine and they where new from southwest autoworks i have mine hooked up to my old side marker lights i had to play with the wires and up the fuse to bump (20amp) more power to the halos try that frist before you take them all apart.

one on mine is blown on the driver side, the h3 lamp (so you cant really tell when im driving) but look up dr. roy's cardomain. He replaced all of them and has a brighter angle eye set up, i think 21000mcd wired in a series (so you'll only have one red and white wire coming from one headlight versus two of each wire). His lights look really good. BTW, mine are connected directly to the battery via relay and terminal.

0CTMAX, they are blown. I ran them straight from the battery and nothing. The *** who sold them is saying they were fine, but that is not the case. How do I know that? The LEDS from the passanger side were completely yanked from the halo rings, their leads were touching and one of the leads was broken. He also lied about how long he's had them on his car. He said a month where they look like they have 2 years of use in them.

young1976

looks like whoever you bought them from probably stole them or just abused the lights. These lights have been out less than a year.

Yeah that's the last time I buy used stuff from on here, I've done it before, but this is the first time the product has been damaged..What size are the leds?

Maxi113

iTrader: (3)

Yo anyone know the size of the led!? I want to order them ASAP!

JayMax2000

Check DR. Roy's homepage I think he knows the size.

Maxi113

iTrader: (3)

I'll send him another message..No one else knows?!

You can hook them up to the bulb that stays on, the one above the blinker..Yeah I ordered the leds yesterday..I don't really care anymore tho, I like em either way..I bought some 4 dollar h3 bulbs and they're bright as hell! Really worth the 8 bux

i dont really like my projectors...the low beams are too dim..did you guys do anything to make them brighter?

ChromeSE5

iTrader: (3)

im doing a oem retrofit of an mdx projector with h9 bulb, which is approximately 1870 lumens... about a little more than half of a 4100k HID bulb which i think is around 3200 lumens. in perspective, an h4 bulb is either 1000 lumens or 1600 lumens, depending on wattage. Im going to be doing an HID conversion soon enough though

Pit5Bull

I was going to ask if the projectors were better than the stock headlights or not. I know they're no competition to the HIDs, but I was interested in the projectors only if they function better than the stock ones - I know they look better than the stock headlights, and I especially the angel-eye projectors, but if they're dimmer and less effective at doing their job of illuminating the road ahead, then I'll shove them off my wish list & save my pennies for the HIDs.

tothemax319

A lot of other guys that had them claimed that they were dimmer than stock. In your case i'd rather crack open your stock lights and do the AE mod, best $0 mod you can do on a early 5th gen. Don't get the projectors and save your money.

ChromeSE5

iTrader: (3)

the projectors themselves inside the housing suk. I can see on the road but i've seen better from stock projectors. The only way of curing this is retrofitting OEM halogen projectors or doing a retrofit of HID projectors. If you do an OEM hid projector retrofit, it will surpass the 2k2 2k3 projectors. You just need time and some know how. HIDPLANET is selling a valeo kit complete with bubls, ballast, and projectors for $450. The price of theebay maxima projectors are around $250 so the total is about $700. Yes, with that money you can buy oems, but with that retrofit you will see a whole lotta sh*t.

rule da road

Just replace the h3 bulb with a better bulb. Projectors are for style but dont expect the extra stuff (bulbs) in there to be top notch. They are hott tho...

Pit5Bull

Interesting... Thanks for the advice, guys

Pit5Bull

@tothemax319...

Is there a thread/sticky that discusses the AE HID mod? This sounds like an interesting option, and if it is cheaper and produces better results than the eBay projectors, I'd be willing to give them a look-see.

Also, has anyone here successfully completed this AE mod? Please chime in with your words of wisdom

Thanks!
