Anyone Have Projector Headlights (xB) With A Lightup Eyebrow

[NewMexicoxB]

Hey people, well as you know, I NEED HELP hookin up my projector headlights, I got the one with 1 halo, and the light-up eyebrow, and it didnt come with any manual, lol, so all it said was To hook up halo ring, and light-up eyebrow, get the 2 attached red/black wires (+ & -) and tap into your turn signal/parking lights and wire them together" lol. IF I KNEW WHERE THOSE WERE, i can do it, and which wires to do, I mean it would help if those wires were colored to, but theres only 2 green and 1 black, so don't know what to do, if anyone has a pic, or know which wires to hook up, PLEASE HELP ME, . . if not. I went to a local mechanic, and he said he can hook those 2 wires to the fog light wires and all I need to buy is a rocker switch, and it'll have its own switch for the halo and eyebrow, Should I just do that? . . well please help me, and thanks to who ever helps, lol....

i will have to look at mine but if memory is correct i believe it's the green .which is the parking lights .But i will have to let you know when i get home from work i will check so in about 3hrs or4 hrs from now.. but i never thought of running it of the fog lights either .

Aight thanks, but do ya think i should put it with the parking lights? or should I hook it up to its own switch?? . . .I kinda think it'll look better if its on by itself, and not with that orange parking light thing,, lol.. just my opinion, but I would still like the wire information aight? . . and thanks ...

How ever running from the Fog lights seems like a great idea that way you don't have to run with the orange bulbs but seeing you have to take the bumper off to install the lights anyways the fog light wires should be right there.

Shoulda put this in the xB forum. And damnit, you know I have those headlights.

A single LED (with resistor) works great to figure out which wire is ground and which is "ON" (as opposed to "BLINK"). Undo the harness for the turn indicator bulb and stick your LED wires in the holes until you figure out which is ground and which is "ON." You'll have to turn your headlight knob one notch so the parking lights are on before you test this. Once you've got your wires. Just strip the casing and tap into the ground with the black wire, and the "ON" with the red wire. Solder them in and use electircal tape at the very least. Plug your harness back into the turn indicator bulb and you're good to go! My eyebrow and halo blink too, but they alternate with the main turn signal.

Another idea for you.

If you hook little switches up after the spot where you tape into the ground wire, but before the turn indicator bulb, then you can turn your turn indicator bulbs off but leave the eyebrow and halo on. That way you can still control them from the knob on your steering column with minimal wiring. Or you could just unhook the back of the turn indicator bulb from the harness. Whichever works.
