So I ordered my low beam projectors and they should be here shortly.
Now here's my deal. How hard is it to wire up in the USDM celicas? Is it just a matter of getting the proper sockets (plugs) for the bulb cutting the stock ones and just rewiring the new ones in, or is there more chaos? Do the projectors screw right in? Also. I'm planning on getting a nice HID kit (I get them rather cheap $350 US or so..) for the low beams. What do you guys recommend? Would it look good in the projectors? Is it too hot for the projectors? Any bit of info would be great! Thanks, Shaun |

for the projectors, just go to an auto store w/ the light socket you'll get...and find you a 3prong adaptor...i got mine from Honda...but you'll just pull that 3rd wire you don't need out, and just cut off the stock harness, and wire up the new harness. the new thing tho, is that the JDM projectors have the side accent light...what i did for mine, was take the stock side marker light from the fender, and move it up to the headlight...that's the easiest thing to do, i never could find a plug for that accent light...so i just used that stock sidemarker...
now then, about bulbs...i had some APC bulbs in my projectors...but one burnt out...so i just went back to the stock...now i have some uh..."EXCELON"...but i haven't had a chance to try them out...as my car is inoperable at the moment. BUT, i know that the Slyvania Superstars are NOT available in the H1 bulb type, which is what the projectors use...what i wanna do tho, is find me a nice cheap set of gold beam bulbs...they'd be sooooo tight in the projectors...it'd look sttraight up Le Mans touring BMW/Viper/Porsche. w00t. -John- -------------------- |
