I'm pretty sure wire tapping and soldering disqualify auto accessories from being called "Plug-N-Play." This is "Plug, splice (but hey if you solder it's better), watch a flippin' KZbin video because the instructions suck so bad they refer you a KZbin video, throw a temper tantrum, -N-Play."

Yeah lmfao, I bought audio stuff from Crutchfield Auto and there was an option to get pre spliced, actually Plug-N-Play wires for everything related to the receiver unit. I bought from Spyder thinking something similar would come up, but no such luck. I'm just glad that my shit looks good now, but fuck I had to put off installation by a day because I needed some solder, jesus.

Very little is soldered on automotive and motorcycle, most is done with the proper factory crimping die, the vibration caused by road travel and vehicle vibration has less chance of a joint cracking, a proper crimp leaves a tad space at the end of the wire before insulation to allow for some flexing of the wire, so if you do decide to solder, do not over solder, or solder right to the end of a terminal to allow for some flexing ability, there are some really good articles online that will explain much better the how to and wire standards with the proper die to use for any type of wiring according to the standard adopted and pull and vibration tests

You just show the black and red wire being twisted around the insulation of the parking lamp wires. Anyone who knows anything about wiring would know that that's not how to connect two wires. However, anyone who might be watching this video with no prior wiring experience would be left scratching their head after doing EXACTLY what you show, and having nothing work. So far I have watched three videos related to headlights I am considering getting for my truck, and I have come to a conclusion: Your video productions leave A LOT to be desired. Your lights themselves look like they might be well made. Then again, they might suck - it's hard to tell without a decent demonstration of them in use - and by "in use" I mean normal use, not just turning them on and off in a showroom, and not showing them only from odd angles that are useless for everyday (like viewing them from above).

Our lights are made for a simplistic and straight-forward install. Most lights are fully plug and play, for the older model lights which require some slight wiring, a simple voltmeter measurement and wiring tapping are needed. Wiring DRL is of only two wires, a positive and a ground. The positive goes to whatever you want to link it to, either turn signals or parking lights, and then a ground.

It does not use the LED/Halo unless stated so, and if so, it would not require you to wire it in. DRL functions on our lights are wired to be plug and play, not to be added or spliced in.

The one on top is the projector style and it is on while driving and when the headlights come on. The one on the bottom comes on when I hit the high beam switch. I was thinking that I should have wired the LED/Halo to the light that stays on while driving but all instruction videos said wire to the parking light.

The (projector) light on the top is the low beam. The (scattered) light on the bottom is the high beam. The Halos/LED-Rings are supposed to be wired (Along with the LEDS) to the parking light. The parking light are the orange lights on the sides that light up when you turn the light knob on the first click. If you have factory DRL, it will light up the bottom light when driving. DRL systems usually use the high beam bulb at a lower power draw. NONE of the LEDs or Halos light up unless the lights are clicked on. DO NOT wire them as DRL, they are not meant to be wired that way. If you want them on all the time, wire it completely separate. You can wire it with a relay to your switched ignition. OR you could wire it up to a switch.

Not good on an 2013 F150 that when set to "auto" lights, the parking lights will not come on until it starts getting dark outside. The F150 "DRL" are low beams with reduced power during the day so a splice into that line may not work well for the halo's / LED's. There has GOT to be a better way................

Can you swap out the halos to a different color? i want amber.
@spyderauto10 жыл бұрын
Yes and no, If you were to swap out the HALO you would have to open the housing and once you do that you will void your warrant, Also if you do not seal the light back up correctly you will have condensation issue.

how can I tell if the halos on my projector are CCFL or the other type.
@spyderauto11 жыл бұрын
you can tell the different when you look at the Halo Ring. If the Halo ring looks like a solid white tube and it has a box attach to it then its the CCFL. If the Halo ring is not a solid white color and looks like clear plastic, and only have two wire coming out of the headlight (RED & BLACK) they will be the regular HALO

My halos only come on when I have my park lights on. If I have my headlights on, they turn off. Shouldn't they always be on since they are wired to my parking lights?
@spyderauto9 жыл бұрын
depends on your car models, some vehicles may have the DRL and/or parking lights turn off when the low beam comes on.
