i got these halo lights from ebay. it has two wires but the stock has an adapter with three wires. can anyone help me to install it?

Have you forgotten the fact that FC's have pop-up lights? You will only be able see those silly "halo" lights when the headlights are also on, so you'll barely see them at all.

wanic35

yes i know they are pop up lights. and i do ride them flipped up during the day. and plus the lights look sweeter than the stock during the day also. all i am asking is for instructions on installing them.

sooooo they're sealed beam style but they have a "halo" (a square halo?) around them?

They're more than likely a direct bolt n if thats the case.....you'll just need to clip the wires and wires the high/lowbeam in as well as wire the halo to the parking/running lights.

If they are round halo's......you're going to need alot more sweat, swear words, money, bracketry, shrouds and time to install them....

wanic35

yea um they are the sealed beam style with the square halo around them.

how would i know which are the high beam/ low beam and parking/running lights?

well, get out your test light and/or a multi meter.....hook it to ground and then one pin on the headlight, turn on the lights (without highbeam) and see which pin has power. Then repeat with the highbeams on.

For your running light power use the front marker/signal light + power source. This will be hooked up to the wire for the halo.

for the high/low beam on the new light itself (if it doesn't say which is which in a manual/paperwork tht came with them) you'll need to hook power up to the light and see which pin has the brighter/wider beam when powered.

Thats all.....its pretty simple.

Be sure to solder and shirnk wrap the connections, you don't want a solderless connector creating problems down the road - especially during a night run far from civilization - hehehe

thanks dude. ill go try it out. there was no paperwork that came with the lights..

They should install exactly as per the stock sealed beams, and the electrical connection for the headlights (not the halo lights) should be a direct swap too. The large 3-pin connector should just plug straight in. If it doesn't/can't you got the wrong lights and should send them back. Preferably for a refund...

Have you forgotten the fact that there's a switch in FC's to pop the headlights up without turning them on?

darksider

how do you do that? i thought that was with 240's only.

13b4me

Right above the switch for the lights, there is another switch that has a little "double arrow" indicator... That's to pop the lights up without actually turning them on... What purpose it was actually intended to serve is beyond me, but nonetheless it's there...

NZConvertible

So what? The point is why the hell would you want to drive around with the headlights up during the day unless it was necessary?

Cleaning and replacing the bulbs, and preventing the lights from freezing closed in very low temps. Pretty much all cars with pop-up headlights have a manual switch.

Its called the "cleaner switch"....I've driven around my g/f's at the lake and had my lights actually get dimmer from extreme coatings of bugs/mosquitos etc.

The switch allows you to flip them up for cleaning......or "winking" at passing buddies -hehehe

As well as what NZ mentioned about freezing.....in the winter months (yes I use my N/A as a DD year round) I flip them up at night in case we get a dumpig of snow so they won't be a problem to flip up later on.

Ahhh I guess I'm just not used to dealing with cold weather anymore... I got spoiled by the south...

hah. doesnt sound like they are for rx7s at all. just square lights they labled as rx7 with out knowing for real
i say. look at my link in my signature. if you want halo's. try these.
i wont let you down

Just a little FYI... The Chevy S10 uses the exact same lights as an FC, so I'm sure they didn't design those with the FC in mind...

No matter how hard you try your car will never be a bmw. My halo's look killer on my 7 series but would look like complete *** on my RX7.
