Default New Lights!

So I'm looking at getting a pair of projector headlights and I wanted to get some info from folks on what would be my best options. I'm wanting the install to be as painless as possible (one can dream).

I want to go with the black-style projectors for starters, and I've heard that there's a few companies out there that make direct-fit plug and play wiring harnesses that just plug right into the stock set-up with little (if any) modification to the wiring, I just can't seem to find the right ones.

Any info would be a big help!

If its plain projectors with no hid or ccfl halos, then it should just be plug and play. If you get ccfl, you will have to tap into parking light wire. If you get ones with led, you will have to tap into parking light wire.

Why do people use the parking light wire and not the headlight wire?

Because then you can run with only the parking lights/halos on without the actual headlight being on. That's what I did on mine otherwise you'd never be able to have only the halos on.

Check out the Vancouver Meet-N-Greet page on the Canada Forums and you'll see pics of mine. I disabled the Halos but I kept the LEDs.
