Projector Headlights

Anyone had any experience installing these projector lights. I bought some off ebay. They have the projector part and then a little blue light in the bottom of the lens with a red and black wire. They are called the city lights I assume. Would they just wire into the running or park lights????
anyone know? Help lol

they aren't projector lights they are sealed to unsealed beam replacement usually using an h4 bulb....anyways the city lights can be wired any way you want seperate on a switch turn signals running lights what ever. Personaly I would wire them seperate because they are blue although you could probably find an orange bulb and hook it to your running or turn signals. Red wire is power and black is ground just ground it to the bidy or chasis it's the easiest. Hope this helps

Mine are actually the projector as I understand it. You can see them on ebay advertised as diamond projector headlamps. They do have a lens in front of the bulb. Most of the ones I looked at had just the H4 bulb in them. Does anyone know anything about these xenon bulbs? Are they going to make any difference? Lot's of different things out there from HID to H4. Anyone a lighting expert?

the projectors that are for our 86-93 trucks are just a sealed beam conversion with a housing some what around the light that projects more light through the round center peice than the rest of the rectangle, they use basic h4 bulbs that most import cars use.

xenon bulbs are cool, people claim that they look like HID's but they do not! they are little brighter and come in whole swack of colors.

HID's are unmistakeable (nice word) they are bright as damn hell, kits start at about 200 bucks up to 1200.

i think you need an H4 conversion before you could do an HID conversion
