cjohnson Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 This things awesome mate! I just picked up a silver grey 330cd last night and looking forward to getting on with nodding. What angel eye and hid kit did you use mate? Mine doesn't have xenons just halogens and they're pants in the dark lol. Also, what sort of job was it to split the lights? I know on the tourings and saloons the front just clips on.. is it sane on coupes or are they sealed? Use heat gun or oven to heat and split? Cheers mate, keep up the good work!

Melv1958 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot mate ?, I got the link for you, just make sure you email them first if you have projector headlights as I ordered just facelift ones and they all came the same size and the headlight projectors is a smaller ring than the big chrome one that holds you beam and side light. Link to the angel rings from the company I got from -http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=140899229450&globalID=EBAY-GB The Hids I've always bought £60 ones and they've always been the same so I thought I'd buy the cheap ones with ballasts and see how they are, and they are spot on, £16.29 and you want 5000k they are pure white Hid link -http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291505714544&globalID=EBAY-GB On the facelift projectors you have to just use a heat gun to warm up the sealant and unclip the clips and there are 2/3 little screws to take out also. Then your in the lights. If your unsure just pm Dsport (Darren) as he fits these alot so he's a wiz at them ??

rickyh147 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Mine has projectors but I fit 4 large ones as I didn't realise there were different sizes. Bit more tricky to put the larger ones on the smaller light but it's on.. Albeit one of my rings stopped working so now I only have the two inner rings plugged in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melv1958 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Post a pic Ricky mate, there the wrong ones for yours as your going to see you chrome ring if you haven't painted it out and the projector would looks daft with a huge ring around it ?

rickyh147 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I've no pics with all 4 on as it stopped working before I even got chance to look I'll try find some pics on my lunch break of the two on etc. gonna be buying some complete new lights soon anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might be happening is confusion between projector and Xenon. Projectors can be Xenon or halogen, something not all sellers understand. I have projectors on my 530 but they are not Xenon Easy way to tell is the light, if it has a glass dome (as yours do) it is projector.

rickyh147 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't like them and they do my head in daily just cos I know they're not working properly, but they do take the bigger rings on the smaller light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, keep up the good work! once the light is out there are 2 Torques to undo before splitting Don't put the in the oven as the entire light gets the the same degree c, and I have had a customer who melted a light, use a heat gun and keep rotating it round the light where it seals, start to prise it open, the 2 round clips are a bit delicate but apart from that it's not too bad, I'm only in Queensbury if you get stuck just give us a shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjohnson Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Cheers dsport! I might take you up on that when I get them lol. Unsure on the wiring too! Is it straight forward enough? When you fit the hids did you drill the hole for the wires in the back of the light? I've got the hids I'm planning on fitting them this weekend! Cheers.
