Spyder halo projector headlight problems

I just hooked up my halo headlights the other day and my Brights and lows are very dim i dont know what i need to do, i dont understand why because all i had to do is plug them right in to my original plug, i have my leds and halos wired in to the fuse box with a wire tap i dont think that is the problem but please help!!!!

 

Check the ground?

 

ok i will check it its just that i didnt mess with any wires going to my actual high beams and lows the only thing i wired in was my halos and leds and they look fine.

 

Actually, I basically know squat about electrical issues, but that does sound like a poor ground situation. If it isn't that, I'd be in the same boat as you, asking for help.

 

the ground is good everything is working its just my dim lights and highbeams are too dim i can see ok while driving but its not bright at all

 

They generally are pretty dim on those. The output isn't all that great. If you put hids in them they are better. But those are pretty low quality projectors. I may be wrong, I would wait until someone with them can elaborate. But from the pics I've seen using them with halogens, they aren't that great and worse than stock. Maybe YouTube them in the meantime to compare.

 

thanks

 

If you want, TRS makes Spyder drop in brackets so you can upgrade those junky projectors to mini h1s.

 

mine has been going strong for 2 years, now just waiting for some hid to come in and swap them out.

 

where can i order some good HIDs or what would be my best upgrade because this isnt going to work.

 

Well, like gym jamz said, you can get minis from trs that bolt on. Idk if they offer it as a kit, but they do have quality hid kits. Even going with one of trs' plug and play hid kits would be your best bet for good quality, if you didn't wanna deal with the projector swap. But doing the projector swap would compliment the hids much much more and have a huge increase in output. If you're on a budget, I would research the lower priced hid kits like on Amazon. Try it out, if it's not good enough for you, return and save up for a proper setup. Because from what I've heard, just putting hids in those is a considerable increase so it might just be ok with that. But finding a budget hid kit can sometimes be a pain. I always hear about ballasts going out. But most will send you new ones. It's just the hassle of dealing with that, that may be a factor for you. And that's not to say you won't have issues with a trs kit either. But they have much better warranties and customer service. Because I have had issues with mine in the past but they were awesome in taking care of me.

 

The stock output on those is horrible. contact TRS and get a HID kit.

You will need H1 bulbs for both lows and highs

My suggestion is to buy only a kit for the lows. the headlights require physical modifications if you try and use the HID's for the highs. find a better halogen bulb for the H1 highbeams

you will still need to modify the harness on the spyder assembly so you can power the highs after adding the HID harness.

This is not a complete plug in play kit for this headlight assembly when upgrading to HID's with those lights. harness modifications are easy.

 

Dang I forgot all about the separate high beams on those assemblies..

 

sounds good can yall send me a link to a good website to order these hids from and if yall have any better suggestions please let me know i heard that hids burn holes in your lenses i dont really believe that cause ive never seen it happen but let me know which would be a good buy for my headlights i want them to be very bright but i dont want to spend all day and night trying to wire these things up because im not an electrician lol.

 

Are you willing to split your headlights apart? If so

I found the site yall are talking about just want to make sure im ordering all the right stuff i dont want to order something that doesnt fit

 

do i need ballasts wiring harness and everything else or what, and is this just for my lows or can i use those H1 bulbs in my brights

 

Yeah, I would double the fine prints and even an email to them would help. They're super helpful guys, very knowledgeable

 

you may want to call them so they can set you up with a modified HID kit.

how good are you with soldering?
