UPDATE on my New Headlights.

[Nightmare388]

Hello guys! I finally got my new headlights in but they aren't lit up yet because I forgot I still have to run my battery cable to the trunk yet and finish a few other wiring jobs. I have a few pictures but they aren't the greatest. I don't know why but most turned out like crap. The car is very dirty also from sitting around all winter so bare with me. Here are a few pics.

These headlights are not an easy bolt in. You have to cut out the center tabs on the inside of the headlight buckets in order for the rubber piece on the back of the light to fit in the hole. You also have to cut off 3 little rubber tabs on the rubber piece that holds the light bulb in the socket. If you want to use the little blue city light you also have to cut a notch on the inside of the headlight bucket so it will clear and the wires can go through to be wired up. I just took out the city lights for these photos I will cut the notch later when I wire them up the right way. Here are a few pictures showing what I mean.

I think I might blacken out the chrome around the headlights. I think that will look better. I'll have to do that when it gets warmer. Maybe someone else has these lights that are functioning right now. Maybe they can show us some pictures of the light output from these headlights. They got a be better than stock.

Thanks!! I can't wait till the weather gets a little warmer so I can finish my wiring. I'm going nuts. I would love to see how much light these headlights put out also. I wonder if anyone else has these and can take some pictures of them when they are on?

That looks AWESOME! I like them alot, esp with a black car.

You've got them plugged in..why won't they work with the factory wiring?

I have them plugged into the factory wiring but I have no power to the car yet. I mounted the battery in the trunk and haven't ran battery cables yet and I have to finish some other wiring also. The battery is probably crap also. It was an old battery when I got the car from the old man. Once I get the wiring done and cables ran. I will probably have to buy a new battery then I have to take the lights out to make a cut in the headlight bucket for the city lights to clear so I can put them back in. Then I will show you guys some pics with the lights on.
