Wow those fog lights in that grill are bright as hell . Looks like it's time to sell my stockers and my Abs Dynamics grill and get this one :twisted: .

My LEDs don't blink when I have the turn signals on either. Mine must be wired different. Does anyone know where I can get the HID bulbs for these?

I never actually looked at the wiring for the running lights. I assumed that it was just a single circuit, never thought that it might be a dual element bulb. That will sure make hooking them up easier. I think I still may go with a separate switch so I can run just the LED's when it is parked. I guess the slickest set up would be to tie it in both ways and have them run automatically when you turn the lights on and then a separate switch for just showing them off. A simple diode should do the trick. Now how much time do I want to spend on this project.

The seller says they are street legal but they did not come with anything to prove that. When I got my new tails they had a card to put into the glove box in case you have to prove it. I sure don't see myself getting pulled over for the low beams!

Those lights look great guys. One thing to keep in mind is that the plastic that is used in the light assembly might not be able to withstand the higher temperatures of a stronger bulb. You might want to check with the manufacture before switching so you don't melt your new dope lights.

I would speak to the manufacturer but there is no name on them and the seller I bought them from on Ebay does not respond to emails. I will stay with the existing bulbs and let the others figure it out. I went ahead and tied them into the parking lights like SOL did. I still think it would be cool to have them on a separate switch but I don't have that much time today. If you find the parking light is hard to get in to the new light stop and trim the fixture now. I was stupid and just put them in tight and it is nearly impossible to get the bulb back out now.

I'm a little disapointed in the turnout of your pics for low beam. I paid for them, but dont know if I want them now I have not gotten them yet though.

Voong is a chick? I'm am going to have to call. I just realized that one of my projectors is cracked. You can't really see it unless its on and you look real close. But it still sucks.

I have some small scratches on the inside of one of my lenses but the thought of taken them back apart to put the old ones on, sending the new ones back and making the switch again has me thinking the scratches are not so bad.

I added a few more pics. I did not get to do a side by side tonight but I have some shots against the garage door. These things are really sensitive to the slightest movement of the bulb. I guess that makes sense being projectors but I took them out today to wire the LED's up. When I tried the brights tonight the left one was shooting into the ground just in front of the car. I moved the bulb a fraction and it was a spot light again. It seems the lows may have potential with some minor tweaking.


The rest are at http://my68chevelle.com/scion_pics.htm

can someone who has these tell me how they aim ? .. do they have an aiming screw which allows you to raise and lower them like stock headlights ?

or are you moving the bulb around to ajdust the height of the beam ?

That sucks. Try krazy glue and use a hot glue gun to hold it while it sets. I do this when I break tabs off stuff and it works well. Just get a superglue that works on plastics then put it on. Then use hot glue to hold everything in place as it sets up (kinda like you would tape, if tape would fit)/

If you bought these through 4caroption try calling them at 1-909-348-1888. When I talked to them to find out why my order was taking so long I was told that they are way behind on their emails
