Post your 1st gen retrofit (01-04 only)

That would be great.


Also, how is a passive demon eye done?

 

Taking apart the projector and painting inside pieces

 

Here you go Monte. Got two different sets, first ones you will prolly like but second ones not so much cuz halos and stuff

 

Do it. You won't. Putting everything back to stock?

 

I think I'm gonna keep bumper for now lol

 

Yeah I don't think I could part with all that given you got a couple of mods on.

 

Nice!

I like it. Think i'll go this route. I actually like halos. I think i'll be wiring in a DTRL/Switchback one in the rear of the Apollo 3.0s.

Thanks for the photos!

And what parts do you paint for the demon eye? not sold on this yet. but wouldn't mind it. Thought about active too.

 

Yea just a couple lol

It's nice man. The cutoff shield and surrounding parts

 

hmm..odd.

 

Any tips on housings to use that are nice quality?

 

What the fuck is going on here. Did I get the wrong something else too? Hate electrical
Green circle: Attached to the Acme bulbs. Two wires that plug into something on one side and a connector on the other.
Yellow circle: Come from the projector.
High beam connector is empty on the bottom.

 

Did you get the right harness? Needs to be the H4 motto one.

Here is what I was given:
Wire harness: MOTOCONTROL BI-XENON: H4/9003\
Projector: i-xenon: ACME Standard Version (H1)
Ballast: 35W: ACME SpeedyStart Ballast
Bulbs: H1: ACME 5000K

 

The yellow circle is from you projector as is its the shield wiring or the halo? If its the halo, you put that where ever you want. Most splice it into the marker lights. If its a switch back it'll have a controller and you'll splice the controller into the markers and the blinkers.

If its the shield it should go into the controller for the ballasts.

 

Its hard to explain without being there .. So you have no demon eyes and no halos correct?

 

The yellow I believe is the shield wiring as my halo wiring is out of the picture.

There is no other place on the harness for a plug. As you can see in the bottom right of the picture - one side of the ballast goes to the bulb and the other side (top rightish) is connected to the wire harness so that's where my confusion is from

I do. But not in this picture and not worrying about those yet.


Following this I guess I shouldn't worry about the wires in the green circle. My yellow circle goes into the high beam output in the picture



Edit: I was just worried because last night I did this wiring and when I tried my high beams my headlight went dark. Maybe because I was only trying one headlight? I dunno

 

Just tried same set up as above and just tried plugged bulbs in. Nothing turns on. No fuses are blown, everything is grounded. Did something get fried when I tried the high beams last night? I dunno what if I followed the wiring instructions just like that last night

 

Nothing should get fried from that. Wish i could be more helpful i did mine had similiar issues as u and just some trial and error got it done.
Maybe @LSC15 can chime in

 

No problem! I figured but it was just weird that when I tried the highs the bulbs turned off and now they don't work (I know those aren't fried because I have one that was new that didn't work as well today) I'll just keep trying!

 

Unplug the the ballast from the harness connector and plug it back in. Also make sure your grounds are metal to metal with no paint.

The green circled wire is for custom wiring to a ballast and factory harness. Not needed.
