ridgenesss build thread: less slowly, more surely

Re: 2012 Colorado Build - Blackout

so, my headlights came in. i then realized i completely overlooked the fact that these projector headlights use h1 bulbs instead of 9005 and 9006. so i have 4 useless hid bulbs. i ordered 4 h1 10k ddm bulbs and installed my headlights today.

heres some pics. i might make a how to.

factory headlights and corners!



new guys.




skipping the disassemble pics

corner lenses and grill off



got some looming and decided to tidy up the headlight wires



connected halo and led pos/negs together



used male blade connectors on led and halo positives and begatives. yes the looming is to big lol, its all i had and it works.



pulled back factory looming on low beam harness. blue is positive and orange is negative.



spliced in wires with female blade ends into factory harness.



loomed up.




for the corner lenses i removed the drl harness and removed the metal clip because the aftermarket lenses dont have anything to clip to.



then i used 3m mounted tape to mount the harness to the aftermarket lenses



and finally assembly!





since everything was apart and i hate rats nests of wires. i took the time to mount my hid ballast with 3m mounting tape.

to the air cleaner box on the passenger side



and to the only flat ares i could find on the driver's side lol




while i was at it a also flipped my third brake light

factory position



took it off and dremeled it down for a flush fit





flipped




slowly getting there! :th_woot:
