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!!!!!!!!

God Bless

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 tongue.gif

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.
