I am finally done!!! First and foremost I want to say, it is a pain in this ass. I would've have rathered been eaten alive by ethiopian kids...no kidding, this s*** took FOREVER.
The instructions were horrible, basically they had 3 steps "1. Pull out angel eyes out of box" "2.Remove front bumper and put angel eyes" "3. Have a happy life and enjoy your product!"...if it wasnt for this forum i wouldnt have done half of what I did.
Bumper was a pain in the ass at first but we finally removed it.
After the bumper, we removed the headlights and tried doing it with a hair drier like the instructions said, but it doesnt do s***. The oven idea was pretty good! so we tried it and it worked.
Aligning the halos wasnt too hard, but making the wires go through the back of one of the lights was a pain...very frustrating. But we finally did it with some will and brute force.
Here's the headlights already sealed:
Make sure everything is aligned and that you clean the inside BEFORE you seal it.
After we finally got done with the halos inside the headlights, we went and did of course, the wiring.
When we finally stopped staring at the wiring of the car thinking of how the fcuk we were going to wire that, we came up with a good idea. We went and bought some tap slices at home depot to fit the daytime running light wires with the wires of the halos...it worked.
The blue things are the tap slices (or however they are called) we bought.
Then we put everything together and that was it!
Then we put the new rims on the car and washed it.
For more/better instructions, go to this thread, it was very helpful! http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100957
By the way, I HIGHLY recommend it that you do it with a friend or someone else, it takes away frustration, its done 'quicker' or 'less slow' is a better phrase, and it also makes this thing be less boring.
It's all worth it though.
I'll take some pics when I can during sunset so you can see the lights...tried at night (because thats when we got done) and there's too much glare.
Hope it helped.
