Well i bought a set of projectors and finaly got around to installing them and the angels eyes don't work!. I remember reading on the install paper (before it blew away) that there was supposed to be some sort of resistor or something on wire for them to work. well i pulled the loom back and there was nothing anywear. can some one tell me what that resistor or what ever it is, is supposed to be?

thanx

Splice the angle eye power wire to the power of your low beams..That's it. Some run it to the turn signal, but it's looks gay to me. No resistor is needed

If you used a splicer, make sure it has a good contact. Also make sure you are tapping into the power not the ground.

On yours, did you switch over the bulb in the projector housing to a high-beam bulb? I installed mine a couple nights ago and didn't want to cut my factory wiring so I modified a low beam bulb to work in it. Just curious as to what you did on yours and how you did it.
