one piece cefiro question
Wattup guys...
I just got a set of these one piece headlights fer my cefiro and was wondering what types of bulbs are required? I know the main light are H4's are im ordering HID's fer that... but wat kind of bulb fits the signal light and what the hell is that other small bulb in the main headlight housing? What kind of bulb is it and what is that light used for? This probably has been answered many times, but i couldnt seem to find any relevant posts... any help much appreciated...

Outer ones are 1157 (Dual filament), city lights are 194 (can be wired up with Ignition On mode from various sources so it comes on when the car is on). Also, if you have the sockets for the side markers (some kits don't come with them), you can use spade terminals and crimp them to the wires that went to the old sockets and slide them over the pins in the new sockets. The advantage to doing this rather than the common method is that you are not cutting any plastic from either the brand new Cefiro headlights, nor the original sockets thus preserving the ability to easily convert back to the old headlights in case you're selling the car.

not to thread hijack, but when i installed my cefiros, my fogs stopped working all-together. I checked all the fuses, and thats not the problem. I also checked all the connections for shorts, but couldnt find any. Anyone know what could be causing my problem?? Input greatly appriciated!

I just installed the cefiros in my car too. I am not exactly sure what to wire that city light thing too, it looks like the 194 bulbs. How can I wire it so that it comes on with the parking lights? I can't add it to the parking light, i would blow the fuse.

Nevermind, I tapped the power into the corner lights and then grounded on the side bolt of the car next to the fuse box. This way they light when the parking lights do... and I don't loose any brightness either. Good idea tho to bump up the 7.5 amp to 15 amp.

I see all of these cefiro's on i30's, but all of their turn signals are yellow. I think yellow looks aweful. Are they yellow because you cannot change them, or are they yellow because, thats how other peolpe like them

but can you change the bulbs to maybe like a hyper white, or a blue bulb for the turn signals? if i buy a blue bulb and put it in, it will project the intended color of the bulb right?

my corners had a second set of bulbs in them...other than the big bulbs...there were a set of 194s also.
i cut the harness off of those and spliced it with those that came with the cefiros

oh and a dremel might be a good thing to use for those 194 harnesses.

Can you elaborate on the dremel thing? I am lost on that.

I installed my cefiros a while back. I went to advance auto parts and got a similar conector to the one for the running lights. I just had to cut them a bit so they would fit inside of hte cefiro ones. You have to splice the cable from your old city lights and conect it to the new socket.
I mean do don't have to, i can just plice the cables and hook them up.

I would suggest splicing the wires and connecting the wires to the cefiero headlights...I have a max...and that's what I did. Just cut the stock one off and connect them to the cefiero one...

I know this isn't the perfect place to post this, but it's close, and I'm restricted for some reason.
Re: JDM Cefiro headlights,
Do these have a plastic lens? It looks like it in most shots.. I'd love to get some glass lenses as my heads are foggy.. even with plastic polish. Need to do something, though..
thanks,
Chris
