Default My new headlights.

I finally installed my 1st Gen lights.
5K Hid's, Changed Halo's to CCFL, Amber LED's on the top, Also Wired lows to stay on with highs.









Highs and lows.



Here are some daytime pics. You can see the Halos even with the sun shinning right at the front.

Very nice sir, the amber leds make it sooo much better, did you end up using 2 diodes and a capacitor to keep the highs on?

Nope didn't use any diodes and a capacitor. Just the relay to thow power to the lows when the highs are on.
They do flash a little when it switches over.

Youre throwing power back at the ecu without diodes. A 1k cap from radioshack will fix that flicker.

No because the BCM is throwing a relay for the lows in the fuse box under the hood. It would only putting power back to the side of the relay that is not connected when the highs are on.
