Are the halos or any other type of light bar always connected to parking lights so they only come on when the parking lights are manually turned on or do they ever get wired to a constant source so they come on as soon as you start the car without having to turn on parking lights?
I just completed the installation, went great, thanks for the video! I did solder, heat shrink and then tape all connections. One question though...one of the small LED lights does not work. How can I get a hold of one of the lights to replace it? Are they standard and can I just go to a auto parts store, etc.? Thanks!
It will be different per application, If you give our world class tech support a call with your order number at 18888554621 we can help go through the installation steps.
My lights (same as shown in video) came with a set of "Warning Canceller" capacitors. Where do those go? /edit I have a 2011 F150 that came with stock halogens.
wish my car was that easy. i have to remove the front bumper then there are brackets under the headlights that are almost impossible to get to. 4 bolts on them more push pin clips then remove install and replace.
Is this the same set up for the headlights from my car. I have a 2004 mercedes e500 and the harness for my headlights are 4 pin plugs. The headlights that ordered have a 5 pin plug and won't fit with the harness from my car. Any suggestions
That is a pretty poor wire job I mean the wires should be environmentally sealed so soldered and heat shrink wrapped with tape will just fail over time. A shop will probably charge you $60 to $80 an hour for 2 hours.
I just bought some Spyder CCFL headlights for my 2006 F150 and I just wanted to know how much would it cost to have a shop wire and install my headlights?
I cringed at the wiring job. I don't care if God almighty says it's ok, never ever use wire taps, they WILL fail , or electrical tape to secure your connections. Always solder and heat shrink .
The easiest answer is the lights would not work. However, the wiring is tricky and that is not always the case. Unfortunately, I do not have that exact answer for you.
Probably the best headlight wiring video out there
Great video shows from start to end unlike some other videos. Showed the specific wires to connect to, I just did my 2013 ford today and it works.
That was a half-assed wiring job
awesome sounds great, will do when I get them in. Thanks
+Joe The G No problem! Thanks for the question.
I was wondering how come my parking lights dont work I did everything like said on the video

You would have to contact Spyder directly. spyderauto.com/info.php?id=contact_us
is the installation process the same for every car?

Thanks for the instructions! I'd never done any wiring work before installing my headlights, but this video was a huge help and I got it done easily!
Our pleasure Steve. Let us know if we can help in any way.

Very clear video and very clear step by step instruction. I appreciate you. Thanks.
is this the same install to a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500
+Joe The G It might be similar in some aspects. If you call in to our tech dept. with your order number we can help you with the install.
Ok thanks, will do when they come in.

I also think the lights should have came with connectors that just simply plugs in...
Great instructions. Job done in no time.

Me too, I only keep those wire taps in my roadside kits for emergencies, that's about all they're good for, kinda
what size wire taps did you use?
You touched the bulbs!
What happens if you wire them wrong for example the red wire with black wire instead of white will it mess up?
