what I usually do is run the wires out of the headlights. Find a ground to connect the black wires and run the power up to the battery and into the passenger side by cutting a slit into the rubber wire cover. Under the dash is cigarette lighter, you can tap into that yellow wire using a plastic wire tap connector from autozone. This should now allow your lights to turn on when the car turns on.

New project:
I have a set of XB's and a set of Blue colored COB's (RGB type LEDS). I am going to try to mount them both. I'll wire the white XB's to run as daytime lights and the Blue COB's I'll run to a switch in the cab.

I'll post details when I get them done. Not sure how it will come out but at least its something different. I'll also add dual demon eyes to go with the upgrade to my own car.

That sounds sick! I've got mine all mocked up and going to paint this week. Having my body shop custom paint then. I'm doing dual halos and demon eyes. Can't figure out where to mount the demon eye led yet though. LMK if you have any thoughts. I got a multiple color led for the demon eyes and a remote. Hoping to not run a switch in the car but just rig it up to the remote. Here's a little mock up pichttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/02/evybaryz.jpg

I've searched around and can't find an answer....

Doing the demon eyes, does anyone have pictures on where to put the led's and how many they put in?

I'm using a multi color RGB LED if that helps

Friend me, I have a photo album.

Main Projector I recommend using 6 or more LEDs. Image below..

Looking for the Turn Signal demon eye pic i have. I used 4 LEDs on that one and it was 2 bright I would use 2 or 3 LEDs. :tiphat: Here it is.. Sorry, the image uploader doesn't resize it anymore, gotta do it manually.

Looks great man.. Make sure you swap out your stock turn signal bulb for an led bulb. The heat off the stock dual filament bulb will heat the lens up and bubble your paint. An LED turn signal bulb will be cooler and help with heat saturation. :tiphat:

AWESOME! thanks a ton!

Anytime,
The albums are New Set To Fix & Dual Halo... I try to put stuff in there people can use when they build there lights..

Can't wait to see them when your done.. :happydance:

Now you tell us :icon17:
I went with 4 RGB's in each. 4 leds in the turn signal halo are WAAAAY too much lol. (melt my paint bright) Also the amount of wiring that is required for the RGB leds is a lot higher than the regular LEDs. I should have moved one or two to the main projector.

Since you're going with the RGBs, I take it you're either going to do your own soldering or have someone to do it for you. That was a PITA soldering those tiny resistors. I went ahead and color coded the wires for my RGBs to keep things straight when plugging it into the controller.

Good point, If he bought the 5mm RGB LEDs 12v w/Resistors that come pre-wired he is good, if not than yep it's PITA. The COB RGB (Halos, Angle Eyes, Orbs) come with 12v resistors already. The LEDs pop up on Ebay from time to time 12v with resistors.. Luck of the draw on what color they have.

Robs lights had 4 RGB LED's on his main projector and they weren't bright enough for that big lens. Osiris and I were talking about this Ultra Blue Devil Demon Eyes LED Strips Module for Projector Headlights Retrofit | eBay as a possible solution. It can be mounted closer to the main projection lens. The problem is the projector were you drill and mount the LEDs is almost 6 inches away from the lens. This little thing can slide under the housing just above the lens. Trying to do mine to see if it works good enough to recommend.

I saw those on ijdmtoy and was wondering how those might work, honestly for $6 I didn't expect much from them. I'll be interested to hear your opinion of them :tup:

Hey guys...there's another thread and I know there was some concern here with the small projector mod for the turn signal getting too hot and bubbling the paint. One theory is the sun reflects down through the lens there and bakes the paint. What would be your thoughts on tinting the projector glass or maybe just the bottom half of it for a remedy?

There's always the chance that I'm wrong but I would think thay the sun coming from the outside of the lens shining into it would not be refracted back outwards but to the inside of the lens (behind the lens).

I have had this problem on every dual halo setup I have done. One solution I am willing to try is using BBQ pit black paint which is meant for high temperatures. I will try this on my next project.

What about just good ole caliper paint? Thats supposed to stand temps of like 5000 degrees isn't it?
