Looks good! Are those projectors your old MH1? Looks like you didn't have to cut the bowl for them, and your cutoff is awesome!!! love that shroud

Nice!!! Just wanted to add to this because this sentence can be wrong. "If you have OEM projectors and have put HIDs in, then you're fine as well." It should be, If you have OEM HID projectors you can change the color [Kelvin] of a HID bulb and be good as well. BUT if you have OEM Halogen projectors that usually takes a HIR bulb You should not be installing a HID bulb into them! Doing so could cause even more glare to oncoming drivers. Just like the pictures of the HID bulb and the Halogen bulb difference, the same is true for projectors. A halogen projector is optimized for a Halogen bulb. Placing a HID bulb into a Halogen projector will give a different focal point causing light to leak above the cutoff shield. This type of glare can be very bad as the light leak is now projected at oncoming drivers causing a more intense glare. I see this a lot more with the Dodge trucks that have the OEM Halogen projectors. Now there is a proper way to do this as well. It involves removing the Halogen projector usually out of the back of the headlight housing and replacing it with a OEM HID projector that will fit and bolt right up.

Possible to use Fog Lights as DRL?
Powerz69 replied to DJDiggler's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
Running your high beams for 15 minutes or so will clear them back up. Your HIR bulbs will do the same thing but not as bad as the factory bulbs. -
HIR all the way!!! Make sure your wires aren't backwards on the LED plug side before the LED driver. When I installed my HID ballasts I had the same issue, the lights would shut off when I put it into gear. I switched the wires at the plug on the relay harness and that solved the lights turning off when put into gear. My relay harness only uses the drivers factory light plug, that's why both of my lights went out.

What did you use to stick them back together with? I'd use some jb-weld. -

headlight trim
Powerz69 replied to shorty_parker's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
The lights at rockauto are good aftermarket lights that use butyl as a sealant. Lights with butyl are way more easy to bake open compared with the OEM lights with permaseal. You will still need to bake open the rockauto lights and paint the chrome black, and reassemble. -
Do you need a RPi2 or can the B+ be used?

I love my XB LED fogs!Did you get the TYPE M? I installed Philips 9011 HIR bulbs in my highbeam and there was no trimming of the bulb needed. -
Uconnect/iPhone issues
Powerz69 replied to Normagal's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
I read somewhere, maybe in the manual that there is a black clip inside the console beside the USB port that you take out and run the USB cable to the front bin somehow. I looked at mine and I did find the plastic clip that comes off but I never really looked on how to feed the USB cable to the front bin. -
Uconnect/iPhone issues
Powerz69 replied to Normagal's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
Yes, you use the USB port in the center counsel to connect your phone. Or you can use Bluetooth to stream to your radio and plug it into the 12V socket to charge. USB is first choice, but since ios8 it doesn't really work good anymore for many. I use the Bluetooth as the USB doesn't even see my iphone 5 since I took the 8.2 update. -
Uconnect iOS 8.2
Powerz69 replied to mikixbox's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
Sorry I've been sick and busy. Anyway since I upgraded my IPhone 5 to ios 8.2 the USB cable does not charge my phone. I have to use a the same cable and a cigarette USB charger in order for my iphone to charge now. -
Uconnect iOS 8.2
Powerz69 replied to mikixbox's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
I just installed iOS 8.2, I'll let you know tomorrow how it works. -
This is why I'm wondering why you would need a brake controller also? A trailer with four wheels is required to have one, but that also makes the trailer really heavy. Or I just thought of the newer boats have a 4 wheel trailer is this why you would need one?

Yes, you need a HID bulb that is made for the projector that you are using. Yes they do, just a close guess but 9006 bulb is 1000 Lumens HID is around 3000 Lumens. All HID bulbs are around 3000 and up in lumens, no matter what the bulb is. Legal projector HID bulbs are D1S,D2S,D2R,D3S,D4S, and I think H1 maybe. Everything else is Illegally made HID bulbs usually made in China.
