Need help to install mods. Garage is also open to others to do their own installs.
Hey guys. I need help installing my Xenon (halogen->xenon conversion), Predator Ice and front splitters. I have the stuff now but will need your help doing the installs as I don't think I can do them myself.
I have a two car garage and a small driveway that can fit one more car so if anybody else is interested you can join us. I can also drive to someone else's house if it's the better scenario for anyone involved. Also, I have the boxing match between Pacquiao and Marquez recorded on HD. If you've heard of those boxers and haven't seen the fight now is your chance to see it. I'm in Robbinsville NJ btw. About 20 mins from Cranbury or a few mins from Hamilton. UPDATE: I have taken the parts apart (removed the bumper and stock headlights) but currently undecided and unsure about how to do the splicing and adding the new wires. Pic below: no wiring on auto and on position. Low-beam (and high beam) does not work.

i think the hardest thing to install in your list would be the headlight and to do the conversion...
predator ice is not hard...i did it but i had a hard time the first time because i placed white rubber around the ice unit...so it wasnt fitting right... all i need is to swap my lights out! for the splitters , doesnt it come with holes already...use the screws from the bumpers to hold it the splitters |

Hey allan, the splitter install is a breeze. I did mine yesterday in a public parking lot; took no more than 15 min. All you need is an 8mm socket wrench.

I have the new headlights so I'll do the Predator Ice mod before the Xenon lights are installed. The splitters should be easy especially since I'll be taking off the bumper anyways. But I've read removing the bumper and headlight washers are PITA.

Thanks for the input e90phan. I'll take note of the 8mm socket wrench so I know exactly what tools to use.

You're scaring me more man. You're supposed to help me out! So you haven't installed your PnP headlights still?

I'm off tomorrow so I might start doing the mods tonight since it doesn't look like I'll be getting any help. It will be a fun (not!) all-nighter at my garage. Can anyone at least give some clues on what extact tools and sizes I'll need for the conversion? It would suck to find out tonight to not have the right tools and get stuck.

The ones from E90 ANdy are OEM Xenon projectors converted to halogens. Basically you get a halogen light format (not HIDS nor Xenon) projector in an OEM Xenon housing (ie with angel eyes).

You may not have an error (like E90 ANdy's lights) and it's definitely an upgrade since you'll get the halos (the cosmetic upgrade alone is priceless) but one thing you may no longer have is Xenon (ie HIDs). If that's the case then yours won't be as bright as Xenon.
