I’m so stoked about these lights. It’s all I’m needing to put my front end back together.

Hey do you have the link to those lights that you put in place of the orange markers under the headlights? Also how/what did you mount them up with?

EDIT: Nevermind. I just saw the post on the next page, carry on.

So I put together a the relay setup I am using. I used 2 relays behind each headlight and you could do it with one. I just did not want to run new wires over to make it work with one. Everything you need is there so why not use it. So now to pictures and how to wire it up

I will give the relay pins to factory wire colors. In case your relay and pigtails are different. Just a warning the pigtails from hella have little numbers on each wire that do not match with the relay so ignore those.

Relay pin 87(5) power output to high beams 12v

Relay pin 30(3) and 85(2) will be wired together into the factory harness red/blue wire left high beam or red/white for right high beam theses are 12v

Relay pin 86(1) wired to the factory harness red/yellow wire on both side this will be the ground control for the relay.

I always check everything with a power probe and verify voltages and grounds. I do not know if the wire colors changes over the years but this is what I did for my 1997. I hope this makes it easy.

This does not apply at all to 100 series.

went with lx450 side marker lamps with switch back led bulbs. I ended up blacking out the lowers. I got plenty of light from the led bulbs in the side. Just wanted to show some different ideas for everyone. I like this set up the best.. Just need my bumper back from paint!

Got my LCG back from powder coat last week. Semi gloss black to match the BOR tube bumper.

For the 7" headlight I went with Dapper Lighting V2 HID.

Fit and finish are great. Thanks for the outstanding work, Kelly.

I still need to adjust the lights. ~ -5f at the time so "good enough" worked.

Looks great, @landspeed.

Looks great! That is one crisp cutoff line on those headlights!

 

[JHB Cruising]

@landspeed that looks really good!

I finally got around to fitting these up. I’m so stoked to get it finished. Thanks @kelly saad for building this awesome mod.

Just saw this set up in person this weekend. Very nicely done with attention to detail.

 

[kelly saad]

A fun day, and was able to get a photo of two generations together.

I finally got mine on and painted! It looks awesome and having good headlights is amazing! Thanks again @kelly saad!

Did my final fitment today. Looking forward to getting mine to powder coat soon. My HID projector is just sitting the the bench mocking my sad halogens like a spiteful cyclops.

Went out to Superior. Stayed out in the dark and can't say enough of how well this light set up works.

All deburred and ready for powder coating. Assembled the headlights, just waiting on the HID bulbs and ballasts.

I killed my 4" wire wheel and went through 4x Dewalt 20V drill batteries. I'll be finding wires for the next 4 years.

Can't wait to get these installed!

Normally sandblasting before powder will prep it very well. Other than some stubborn slag, it turns out nicely after my final 120 grit that I finish them with. Although, if you were using auto paint, then you would need to prep more. Be careful that the wire didn't dig in and cause deep scratches or gouges because those are quite aggressive. Hit the faces with some 180 grit on an orbital or palm sander before powder.

I'm excited to see those crazy honeycomb lights!
