Hey everyone...

is there a way to test out headlights before taking off the entire bumper on a scion tc.

pictures can be helpful.

thanks

 

How can you "test" a headlight??
All a headlight does is house lights and aim the light from the bulbs...

Tell me if i'm missing something..lol

 

u can try, some wires might not be long enough

 

well instead of using the car, is there a power source to hook up the headlight to see if all lights work?

 

Oh, you got some headlights with led's or something in them??

I'm not sure how to hook them up except to the car lol
sorry man can't help ya

 

yea i bought the eagle eyes and when i went to install them, the headlight and highbeam were not working.

so, instead of taking out the bumper next time, i wanted to know if there was a way to test out the lights on the unit before taking my bumper apart?

 

Ah ,I see now... lol

 

I thought of something.... PM Garage1217 or go to his website and email him..(website is garage1217.com) The reason I say to contact him is because when he gets done putting the new LED's in the guage cluster LED swap he has an external hookup to test the guage to make sure the new LED's work... See if he can help you out.

Thanks man

 

you might wanna check a radio shack or something. I know they got those AC to DC inverterers. You could also try to hook it up ontop of your engine if the wires reach. but like 05 said before, some wires might not reach.

 

no problem

 

thanks.... ill check radio shack to see if they have anything.

 

Don't forget, you're gonna need something that does over 30 amps, I'm guessing. The people that do car shows use a AC to DC converter that costs over $100. The $20 job at RS ain't gonna cut it.

 

^^ yea but he's not trying to power his whole car. Just a headlight to make sure all the LEDs and stuff are working.
