97 F150 4.6L 4x4

just installed the dual halo projector lights and wired em up and everything seems to work fine...brights work, dims work, signals work, and extra row of LED blinkers work....but, how do you get the halo rings to light up? i thought they were supposed to light up a blue color around the rim of the lights (aka "halos")

Edit: in the bottom of the light housing, there were 2 red wires in which i put both on the positive wire (brown) on signal switch, a blue wire which i connected to the "2 color" wire (striped), and then a black wire in which i spliced onto the black wire on the signal switch

 

did they come with instructions? Read them?

 

where did you get them, and can you post a pic of your truck with the lights?

 

no instructions...ebay is where i got them from...pics will come later, need to borrow the sisters cam lol

 

Well, if your are like the ones i got off of ebay, they are completely ready to plug in and go, except for the halos. They leave it up to you how you would like to hook them up. I wires mine into my marker lights, that way you can turn just te markers and halos on, without theheadlights.

As for the red wires, they are hooked to a relay and are suppost to run straight to your battery, that way when you turn on the lights, it will take power right from the battery and your lights will not dim if you are running a large stereo or something like that.

theres a couple pictures of them

 

how many wires is at the bottom of your headlight housing? mine had 4 (2 red, 1 blue, and 1 black)....wired both reds to the brown wire of corner light, blue to the striped wire of corner light, and the black to the black...no halo rings are lighting up

which wire is the halo wire?

 

Lights


Low Beam


High Beam



no blue halos...they arent lighting up

 

my screwup i read your post wrong i thought you found dual projector lights where the high's are behind a projector lens also.

 

yeah, if i recall correctly mine were a little different. I think they had 1 red wire coming out the back to hook directly to the battery and then a white and black for the positive and negative for the halos. Then just the regular plug.

 

i got em worked out now...the 2 red wires were for the halos...i had them wired together to the parking lamp...supposed to be one red to ground, one red to parking lamp...duh lol...got em both working...but still fabricating on the mounting brackets (still a lil gap between fender and headlight)...they are a PITA!

 

What did you have to do to split the single 9007 wire out into 2 bulbs? Reason I ask is I like the look of the halo's, but I'd like to switch the low beams out to HID's also. Then run just regular halogen's as high beams. I just don't ride the highway at night enough to justify HID on the highs.

BTW, did the projector company say anything about running HID's in these? Bad or good?

 

I just spliced into the wires right before the plug for the marker light. Plenty of power to run the blinker bulb and the two halo's.
