I got my low beam projectors from toyotworld yesterday and need to know what connectors I need from an auto store. I haven't gotten my highs yet so I don't know if they need different connectors as well. Let me know soon someone, please!!!!!!!!

The highs will fit, but you'll have to manufacture something for the lows.
I used Honda Prelude 3-prong headlight connectors. Got the heavy-duty ones from a local tuner store so I could run a higher-wattage bulb. Then I bought some spade connectors to connect to the old harness, to avoid cutting wires. I haven't hooked up the accent lights yet, but spade connectors will prolly work for that too... Make sure you have lots of electrical tape. --------------------  |

Since you know so much about the projectors you should make a post all about em
like, possibly bulbs, tints that come w/ then pros/cons w/ lighting... then there could be a part about HID kits and dif bulbs. then last a part about general knowledge(or maybe first?) just yea...you rock

Not much to know - the only stuff thats hard to figure out is how to get them wired, the clear highs are direct swap and then you need a pronged connector which is available anywhere. H1 bulbs are necessary but people have personal preferences. HID kits usually are outta the question since they're near $400 and illegal.

Actually, my lights came with bulbs in them, including the accent lights. I suggest throwing some H-1 hyper-whites in them though... They are much brighter and you won't get any grief from cops because the projectors look like HID's.
