Am I missing a page on the CCFL Angel Eyes instructions?

MrLabGuy · #1 04-11-2006, 02:48 AM

I have a one page instruction sheet which addresses the install of the rings and has a short blurb which says:

Splice A to Daytime running lights
Brown(-) Gray (+)

Plug "B" connection to CCfl rings.

Here is the kit with several wires which include a harness, two ballasts and several ends which don't seem to correspond to anything. Now I've not taken the lights out yet but understand I'm not in a hurry to disable my vehicle without first knowing what I'm getting into. The instruction sheet does not address half of what came with the kit. I'm assuming I'm missing a page. BTW...I have plenty of experience with wiring stereo's and other electrical mods. This one on first examination has me scratching my head. HELP!

mine came with the same 1 page instructions...i think that's about it...you can probably contact jlevi if you need a more detailed layout instructions

Mine was the same - single sheet of paper. One of the emails that you received after your purchase should have given you info for some online directions, however, I was told that they are just general directions because they do not show pics of an X5 - I emailed jlevi to find out if I had been given the wrong link and that is what they told me. I was also a little concerned about not having enough wiring directions, but I am pretty good with this kind of stuff so I am assuming I can finger it out.

When are you guys installing your CCFL Angel Eyes???
I have mine sitting arround and have been tempted to install, but how do you wire them???
Maybe we can do an online install. Someone that has done so can walk us through, like an online course class. Just a thought. I have been planning on doing the install but have not attempted to due to not enough instructions and I don't want to foul up a wiring harness or even the healight assy.

That is exactly what I got. Any of you guys have PDC equiped? It may cause the problem if we don't have the right ballast.

I'm not too worried because Jonathan Levi seems like a great guy who would respond quickly to a service concern. The instructions are just not adequate to proceed forward regardless of any of our skill levels. I'm not into guessing when it comes to wiring on my BMW. What we need is a complete and detailed set of instructions which does not leave out 75% of the parts listed. I emailed someone of the board who was very helpful and gave me some more detailed instructions. Email me and I'll send you the brunt of the text. I can't post what he sent me without first getting his permission. My email is mrlabguy at comcast dot com. at+@ dot = . You get the idea.

I'm headed into the city today on some business but will return late this evening to follow up with my email.

Hey Jonathan...Could you pleeeeese post a detailed write up. Photos would be a big help.

I've got PDC and requested the special ballasts.

Another concern...Step 6 has the ballasts plugging into the CCFL rings. My plugs on the ballasts are two pin female and the rings are 3 pin female. Too early to have a headache.

Going to try and work on mine starting Friday - hope it is a "Good" Friday as far as the install goes.

I asked this previously but got no responses. Has anyone ever done or considered painting the plastic around each one of the lights inside the housing the same color as their vehicle?? I saw a new Vette the other day and that is how their headlights look now. Was wondering how mine painted white would look.

Wish some one had a spare junker headlight that I could experiment with.
