Halo Light Wiring question.
So I have everything set to glue back together but like I posted in a different section (but i think ppl just didnt see it or didnt know what I meant), but I wanted to ask a quick question about the wiring.
this is how the wire routing for the halo ring that is around the low beam projector. In the instructions, it says to go through the "rubber grommet" for the low beam projector. Well, there is none, and the photo they supplied is super blurry. Anyways, this is what I ended up with. What do you think?
It goes underneath the projector lense, and then around the xenon bulb. I will then cut a small hole in the gray cap, route it through there, pop the gray cap back on, and seal it with silicone.
Do you think that will be ok? any opinions/suggestions?
This is the routing for the parking light ring. I just made it come out of the same hole the bulb housing goes into. Instructions said a "vent", but I did not see one of those either.
Heres some other pics of install:
These next blue and yellow things are for splicing the parking light wires so I can connect the halo inverters in. I bought 10-12 guage which is the yellow one, and then 14-18 guage which is the blue. Reason I bought both is because I really cant tell what size each one is. The parking light wires seem to be a bitter thicker (not by much) than the inverter wires.
This leads me to my next question. Many people who have done this try to connect the inverters to the parking lights. But what they try to do is, connect them to the actualy cables that lead to the battery, not the actual parking lights wires (which lead to the bulb housing). I plan on connecting them to the actual parking light wires, because the supplied wire will definitely not reach anything else. Has any one had any experience with this? Wouldnt it be the same as connecting it up higher?
This last pic here is kind of the intended splicing. I plan to put the clips on 2-4 inches behind the bulb housing.
Any one know what guage wire the parking light wires are?
Thanks!
