Projector Head Lights

Hey everyone... I'm wanting to get those new projector lights but I'm not sure how you would go from stock 9007 to those... would it be a hard installation process or more of a plug and play??

i live in layton and I have the depo projector headlights for my 2002 ES with HIDs, it takes like 5 minutes to pull the old headlights out, no bumper removal needed.

well I don't think it's common sense... I know one light hooks up straight into the 9007 factory harness but the second h7 I have no idea where it goes, the stock OZ only has on light so how do wire the second light?

You plug up the factory harness to the harness on the headlights. The red an blue in the pic is of an HID kit he added to it. It takes alittle more wiring. You basicly just run the power wire from factory harness to ballast and hook the red and blue to the ballast and your done.

Just like Juan said.
I made an "X" cut through the big rubber cap on the headlight just to get the HID wires through then I put some RTV where I cut it so no moisture gets in.

i guess my question is do i have to split the wires in the harness to separate high and low beam or do i just hook it up and its all good? are hose headlights wired in the unside to take care of everything?

Can't say my experience is totally relevant since my headlights were different, but basically I got projectors for the 05 Lancer. Everything was plug and play. the stock plug from the car's disconnected from the stock headlights. The aftermarket projectors, there's a plug that fits that exact stock plug. They had everything pre-wired in the housing (i.e. they split the lights to the H1 and H7 high/low beam lights instead of it both going to the 9007 bulb)

Ok I have the same projector and I am about to do the hid conversion on them. The projector headlight is plug and play. All you do is take out your old headlight and then install the new headlight and then connect 3 plugs and your done. Just make sure that you plug everything in straight and tight. Then all beams will work. Does that answer your question hera87?
