Need assistance - Angel Eye install
I have the Predator Chromiums and have done a lot of searching and also use the wiring information found on the home page to start my install. I'm at the point where I'm mounting them on the lenses in the head lights and I haven't been able to find any pictures of how the wiring was routed out of the headlight housings...I have Xenon's.

Available instructions from Umnitza haven't been that appealing and have found more useful information on this site. Just want to see what you guys have done. Also did you leave the tabs on the rings or cut them off?

I just routed them through the back of the housing and out of the high beam socket, also I did shave the tabs on the rings using a dremel, they sat more flush without them.

I will. I'm retrofitting oem Xenon's along with the AE's. It's not an undertaking for the faint of heart that is for sure.

I'm on the fence about it. I'd like too remove them but I don't want to have my high beam projection be a big old spotlight. I've cleared the corners however...not sure...

It looks a lot better with them totally cleared but the highbeams are like the Bat Signal, they go straight up in the air and cross to make a single beam(at least mine do)

Yeah I'd have them totally cleared minus the turn signal part if you have Sport package. I'd just dremel the small orange part off.
