Quad projectors and Quad halos

And I fully seal these lights, so there should be no fogging at all.. Out of all the retrofits I've done so far all have been fine.. And we are having a series of atoms here and so far so good

I got the fuse tap part, but I'm little confused with fuse box.
So main fuse box means One in the engine bay? Or One under the driver side dash?
I'm sorry that I didn't quite understand you.

Yes the fuse box in the engine bay.. Top left is a blue 15 amp fuse that's the spot I use

I decided to do it. Just went with the quad set up without halos. heres how it looks at night. Also a friend couple is in their frs to the left of me so you can see the difference in the output to stock

what did you do with the wiring for the drl/high beam? the drl voltage isnt enough to power on an hid ballast

Well that's how I recall it from reading up on it from HIDPLANET.com anyways.

exactly. most people think having such bright lights in front of the car looks so nice but in reality it makes visibility worse. having a foreground limiter helps visibility but unknowledgeable people will think your lights dont look at bright. a foreground limiter is not just something you can add though unless you're super skilled. it comes stock on TL projectors and I think a few others, but not too many.

@Gixxersixxerman I've done the same mod as yours now and I love it. Unfortunately one of my halos came off... Can you tell me what adhesive you used to attach the halos? Going to redo them this weekend.

I use a white tube of permatex I think the brand is, RTV adhiseve.. It's from autozone, clear, 5$ or so and really strong.. I have to cut it off they don't fall off or pull off

According to what I researched on HIDplanet, all factory projectors have some sort of foreground limiter, and morimoto projectors since the 5.0 have fore ground limiters also.. Im Still in the research phase though.. I get what it's for though

What dashcam are you using? It's pretty neat you have the MPH linked to it

[f0rge]

wow this is so nice, the difference in output versus stock is staggering.

Gixxersixxerman you should start selling these headlights as a package.

I've done a couple more since this one and about 10-12 retrofits..

the blackview dr400 hdii or however you spell it lol but if your camera has a gps function it should be able to show mph on your vids via options menu. i kinda debated enabling it but figure i actually dont speed that much or in a crazy manor lol

easy answer:

i didnt want to bother seeing if the drl had enough voltage to trip the bixenon shutters so i just removed it.

then the highbeam wires connect directly to the wires coming out of the projectors because those lead directly to the shutters (does not get routed to the relays). for a quad set up you need highbeam splitter harnesses to make sure all 4 shutters have power

i wired all four halos to the inside 12v and put in a switch too. installed with the resistors that it came with of course. the smaller ones are super bright, but the bigger ones seem to be dimmer. i can't tell in your pictures, but is the brightness equal for both? mine is noticeable in direct sunlight or in reflections of other cars though so it isn't too bad. any ideas?
