Everything unraveled:

Ok, there are 4 (four) wires exposed and bare. These control the LED’s and the halo’s

As you can see, this wire leads to a circuit board, and then leads to the LED’s. There is a white (positive) and a black (negative) wire.

Kinda blurry, but the other two wires are for the Halo’s. Same thing, a white (positive) and a black (negative) wire.

Those wires can be run however you want. You can hook a switch to them, or to your low beams, or what I did that I think is pretty sweet is too hook them up to your orange turn signal lights. There are three wires that you splice to put the white and black wires in. I can check later if anyone is interested. The reason this is sa-weet is that the halo’s and LED’s will only come on when the turn signal bulb is on. It’s also even sa-weeter when they alternate when you have the turn signal engaged. Like I said, if anyone is interested in this mod, I can check the wires for you, I just can’t remember off the top of my head.

This picture is to show you that you need to take those wires off of the back of the oem headlight, this will be used on your new projectors.

Here is what I am talking about. Also, you will not be using your orange turn signal bulb. It comes with a different style where you just plug their harness into where the original orange bulb was.

It’s all pretty much plug and play from there. The only thing I would watch out for is connecting that blue plug from the OEM harness into the one from the projectors. The problem that I ran into is that the pins don’t line up correctly and need to be moved in position. If your low beam and high beam don’t work (like mine didn’t) it’s probably because your a loser like me and plugged it in and the pins aren’t touching because they went into the negative space in the blue connector.
It will also come with a guide to show you what you need to do to make your turn signal bulbs work. There will be a new plug from the projectors that you just plug into the OEM harness and that’s it. It will lead to a wire and that will be done.

Ok final thoughts:

I really like how much more light I can see. Before I used to complain how I can see more with my H3 fog lights then I can with the stock headlights. Now I can see literally 5x the distance with these H3 projectors. I still need to adjust everything. Everything you see is how it comes from the box.

Bouncing is very very minimal. I can never see the bounce when I’m driving, but when I am very close to somebody else’s car I can notice a slight bounce.

Overall I am pleased with the added light output that these give and would recommend them to anybody.
