Hey im new to this board, ive been over on the UK board for about 2 months now, but i made these angel eyes (
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=980547339061120203&q=angel+eye &hl=en) and i was wondering how to wire them in. I am pretty clueless about how to wire them in so any help i greately appreciate. Thanks guys i look forward to being part of the jag forums

 

I'm in agood mood and won't call BS on this. Congrads on creating this awesome how to video, I hope someday I to can own both a Jag and a Bimmer....

All you need to do to is wire the positive side of the angel eye into your positive headlamp and negative to the negative of the headlamp...

The hard part is going to be securing the angel eye into place while keeping the headlamp leak and condensation free...You need tofirst put your headlamps into the oven to soften the adhesive to separate the outer lense and the housing assembly. Don't use your kitchen oven as fumes are toxic and will stay in your oven for many more bakes. Once heated, pull the lense off the assembly...Somehow attached the angel eye, drill a small hole or use an existing vent (if there are any) to run the wires...

Also I'm not sure how'd you seemlessly get them into either non-HID headlamps or the inner highbeams...

 

I can send ya pics, ill be the first to admit tehy dont look as good, it sounds like a whole heap of trouble. I didnt realize it was that much work to get them into the actual headligh muchless wiring them. My 30 dollar project seems to be a waste but ill give it a look. Thanks bacardi

 

BTW i was not taking credit for the video sorry if it sounded like that, i was jsut saying thats the video i used to make mine.

 

Okay okay, that's all good and everything but.... Will this work on a Jaguar S-type??? BTW, did you apply this to a bimmer? If so than... uh...uh... this is Jaguarforums.com

 

yea i know this is the jaguar forums its a s-type 4.0 lol but i just look for stuff to do it being that im only 17 and bored lol

 

Good luck with the retro fit. IF...(Note the IF)...you can get the headlight assembly off, which requires that you remove the front bumper, then opening the assembly is very easy. Just remove the clips. As for wiring them in, I'd drill a hole in the assembly just small enough to get two cables through. One for the ground, and the other to the positive feed on the headlights. On the other hand, if you'd like for the lights to be off and only the angel eyes on, I'd wire them to a switch inside the cabin, or maybe to an alternate fuse that gets power when the car turns on. Good luck, and you didn't really make it sound like you made the vid. Welcome BTW!

 

thanks for the help guys, ima working on it hard to find time between school and work

 

The black shrink tape will look bunk when daylight is on the lenses. I suggest either wrapping the LED before it does in and epoxying it in once there to avoid long term backing out. Or, drill a hole that accepts a nice short piece of stainless tubing, drilling to ID and OD for the LED will ensure a nice clean look. And when snipping off the leads, use the dremel and use some black coloured epoxy to cover it all up and avoid corrosion. wiring it into the existing city lights is easy as pie.

Or just replace teh city light bulbs with some LED's like i did. Cost me $15 and took about 2 minutes to do. But isn't angel eyes!

 

Honestly not to burst the bubble or anything I mean that was cool I watched the whole almost 10 minute video...and than I though to myself...the local advanced auto parts store had a set for $15 bucks that came with everything and it would look stock in a car and I'm pretty sure they had different colors to pick. After all that it doesn't seem much worth it...they are sweet and I love the look though but they'd be more work than they are worth...unless of course you had the lamps off the car for some strange reason...

 

i had them off to try and clean them up because they are very hazy/foggy

 

Well hey I guess when you are there adding them is a good idea...do you have any after pics?

 

I would like to see some pics of this done on a Jag S-type if anybody has any.

 

Hey soccer any pics or what?
