I have these ones. But I don't know where to mount the resistors (the silver boxes at the picture) to keep it steady without any vibrations.

poleposition, I looked at PG thunder's site, I don't see anything for $20, it's actually rather confusing when it comes to their angel eyes.
Have you installed them? which model?

this is the page H8 Angel Lights by HID Lights USA

It's the last one in your link. I just got my GP last night and it is not very bright. I'll be trying something different

I've been reading various threads on how to install the Lux H8. So it sounds like the wires are pinched coming out of the bulb housing.

Anyone experience problems with that so far? Also, the install the install doc says the power supply and fuse must be outside of the housing. Where did you guys secure it? And with what?

TIA

Dilaro - resistor placement

I have the city vision leds, which look exactly like your picture. I called led92, the company from whom I bought them because I was worried if I needed to place the resistor box outside the light housing due to heat. They said no. When I installed them, I laid the resistor down flat in a little space just next to the light. I have had them in for two weeks now, with no problems at all. I have even pulled one out a few days ago and checked everything, and it all looked fine. BTW, it looks soooo much cooler (and brighter) than stock. Enjoy!

I'm completely span around with all those kits. Jake 1474, which product did you buy and install?
