Brights are killed?

[bobmundo123]

I have a 99 Galant. I bought it premoded, and the guy who sold it to me said that he had to kill the brights because it was too bright, as in It wasn't legal, or something. How do i turn it back on. Is it a fuse? a wire? How would i go about doing that?

[01galant01]

Are the lights HID's?

[Proto]

We need more detail far as the type of headlights, type of bulb, any modified wiring, etc.

ill take some pix.. h.o...

ill take some pix.. h.o...

Here are some..

Outside off..






WIRES...






The Bulbs




Lights On



On a side note.. ANyone know how to clean the metal under the hood.. Make it all shiny and new again,,





Also Does anyone know where i can buy like the foam that is around the bulb keeping it in place?

You have HID's. If want high beams you can swap the HID kit out and put regular halogen bulbs in, takes 2min. Or if you want to keep the HID's, you will have to get new bi-xenon bulbs.

To put your halogen bulbs in, unplug the HID bulb from this female harness and plug in your halogen bulb. You will need an H4 bulb.

wow.. It looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you... Someone let that G go...

bi xenon Bulbs Are HIDs with Hi Beams, And what about that last pik.. .. H4 bulb? I'm a bit confused. So all i need to do is buy the bi-Xenon Bulbs and thats it .. I'm good...?

[skrap]

In general it needs a lot of Tender Love and care.. Also try using some Engine degreaser to clean it up a lil bit and maybe a brillo pad or light sandpaper for your headers....

Thanks man.. I'll try that.. and by let that G go.. did you mean the galant.. ? I mean as far as the lights go you think its a lot of work? i mean i boutght the car for 3grand with 63k on it. It wasn't a bad deal, IMO.

[Proto]

The lights are easy, just go to DDMtuning.com and order the H4 Hi/Lo 35w 6000k HID kit if you want HIDs or just to the auto parts store and buy new H4 bulbs.

[01galant01]

bi xenon Bulbs Are HIDs with Hi Beams, And what about that last pik.. .. H4 bulb? I'm a bit confused.

Yes, Bi-xenon bulbs are HID's with Hi Beams. If you want those you can go to the site Proto suggested for you. http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=pr ... &parent=85 - You will need H4 Hi/low bulb, and for temp I recommend either 5000k or 6000k.

So all i need to do is buy the bi-Xenon Bulbs and thats it .. I'm good...?

Yes.

OR if you dont want HID's you can simply go to your local auto parts store and ask them for H4 bulbs. H4 bulb is the type of bulb our cars uses for the headlights.

Hope this was more clear for you.

[01galant01]

And what about that last pik.. ..

I really dont know what you are referring to in the last pic.

i recommend the ddm h4 hi/lo kit. now what i noticed was that on the H4 conector 1 of the 3 prongs is missing and i bet its the high beam one so he may have to find another H4 male connector cut the old one out then connect the new one to have the high beams work. honestly, with my HIDs i dont need high beams as they are bright enough(ddm 55w 8000k)

That 3rd missing prong is indeed the high beam, but his bulb only supports low beam. So its like that purposely, that male harness is from the bulb so no need to modify anything, just need the H4 hid hi/low bulb. The difference between the hid reg bulb and hid hi/low bulb is there is an actuator on the hi/low bulb, and when the hi beam is switched on it lifts allowing more light to pass through.

[GalantTuner10]

nas i think ur right, only thing im concerned with is that my H4 hi lo harness and bulb has a connector for the high beam function that i dont think the normal H4 1 beam bulb does. i could be wrong though

[GalantTuner10]

as a side note as well.. that looks like an NY plate so maybe someone is local and can help him out if need be

So the fact that the 3rd prong is missing for the high beams still shouldn't be a problem if i Buy the bi-xenon bulbs.. No wiring required .. for the third prong.. Okay I'll try that out.

Yea Man.. I'm on Long island.. Haha.. any of you guys out here?

And by the way guys... Thanks.. You guys here at Galant Tuners are a whole lot more active and helpful then some other forums whose name i shal not mention.. haha... Thanks again.. I'm gonna take a look at those bulbs now.. I also actually have another problem regarding the horm.. ill make a new thread for that though and ill post a link here in case u guys wanna chek that out..

Thanks fellasss

So would it mean that I would have to buy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270336488428&crlp=1_263602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem=&guid=48e6ca301270a0645b60dfe0ffc8164a&rvr_id=&ua=WVS%3F&itemid=270336488428 and then rewire?? or is it already setup to go.. jus buy the bulbs and goo.? and how would i go about installing?

Or how about this? ANY OPINIONs?

Might Just go with this? looks like installation mite b a B*tch..

You dont need this, just buy the Hi/Low bulbs and go.

Those are the heads I have, installation is pretty easy. Only part you may have a prob with is finding a place to wire up the halos and LED's, I didnt use any of those though.

Yea man.. Those do look Pretty Sick huh... So if i got that kit that came with the HID bulbs High/low, I'd be good right.. and hmm to the LED and halos.. Couldn't you just hook those up via regular headlights? like split it? or maybe straight from The battery? idk.. hmmm.. so basically everything is the same right.. no wiring.. just put the bulbs in the corresponding areas.. hmm.. those Angel Halos, look soo cool though.. lol


And i also realized u used the black headlights, and not the chrome ones.. I have a white car.. and i was thinking about using the black ones too instead of the Chrome ones.. I think It'll work...

[GalantTuner10]

im not sure about the plug as the 3 prong plug goes into the HID harness and i would guess that that connector sends the signal to put on the high beams.. how else would the HIDs know to go to high beams??

i think a few members have those headlights. im a 7G not an 8G so i dont know them too well

Yea, from the link you posted, it comes with hid's for both high and low so just plug and play. If you wire up the halo's to the headlights you will not see them. The halos are very dim.. You could tap into a 12v source and put a switch to it. Alot of ppl use the radio wire under the hood. As far as the 3 led's go, those could be hooked up to parking or signal lights, whichever you choose. Personally, I think the heads look better without any of those on though.

and yea, I'm not a big fan of the chrome housing.

12V.. ? How do you find these POwer Sources? I want to add lighting and other devices in and around my car but I'm a noob.. And don't know where to find power sources... I know.. you just connect to swicth.. nd ground.. or w.e.. Mad confusing.. is there like.. electrical Car guide for dummies or something.. lol.. Like a lot of the Lighting accesories for cars are Via DC.. but i wanna connect it via battery or something and a switch.. Not even sure what kind of wire to use.. and blahh..

[01galant01]

If you run a wire straight to the battery your gonna need an in-line fuse. For interior devices you can tap into the blue wire behind the radio.

[bobmundo123]

SO Something like this from the Battery.. to the dash.. and interior?

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... =197241778

Then ript off the Dc... plug put a switch after the fuse. then ground.. and then connect to device?

[Mante]

If you run a wire straight to the battery your gonna need an in-line fuse. For interior devices you can tap into the blue wire behind the radio.

Not only a fuse but a relay setup. were a 5v supply from the car's fuse box will active the full 12v coming from the battery. Using this will allow you to run say 0 guage to your trunk "safer".. the fuse would mainly be there to protect that relay as I assume any devices will have a fuse built in.

Sidenote skrap mentioned using a brillo pad on the headers, since you have time you can go a few steps further by removing the stock headers completely, scrub then paint with high temp of whatever color you choose ( or find)..

Yeah Man.. I was actually planning on doing That.. As far as the headers go. But i am really confused about the whole wiring setup. I'd have to make a relay setup?
What does that compose of. I don't want to mess with the relay box. Even if i have to buy new Pieces and Parts. I'd rather do that. The last guy started messing with fuses and other stuff for the foglights and stuff.. But i ripped the Headlights off.. so yea.. I just want to buy my own stuff.. Own headlights.. own ELectronics.. and hook them up myself.. Fresh.. So i know where everything is..

[bobmundo123]

ok.. anyone wanna put some input as far as the relay setup is concerned?
