So, The big update is finally here

A few week ago I found a set of Projector Headlights on eBay and promptly purchased them. After a week, they were at my door...

I opened the box, and as usual, one tab was broken and another was split



So I got a bottle of Loctite 406 from my Girlfriends father and repaired those tabs. I also added a washer behind the completely cracked tab for extra strength =]


Now came the adapter problem... The stock wiring in the car doesn't fit the H1 socket on the projectors, and the ADM park lights don't fit in the accent lights either... So an adapter was needed to be made... I got onto eBay and found some extension cables for the stock ADM wiring, and luckily the eBayer gave me the H1 side and the Accent adapters, so all I needed was the Male side for the low beams


And so, this morning I headed over to my Mates house where most of the Car work is done. Here is the 'Before' shot:

Following the 6GC bumper removal guide, hte bumper was off in less than 40mins



After some further troubles of trying to get a 10mm spanner that would fit inbetween the bar and the light, we finally got the High Beams replaced. They are a direct replacement and so no wiring mod was required


Once the low beams were out of the car, it was time for the wiring harness to be made. The eBay extension cable was cut, and the male half was soldered and headshrinked onto the H1 adapter. In 10mins, both sides were made and the adapters were installed and 10mins later, the Low beams were in place. The Accent lights were just soldered directly onto the ADM park light harness:

Testing followed:

After the test was successful, the car was rebuilt and photos were taken. These will be in a second post below
