Halo install

Can i cut these off? Because last time i installed them i had to remove the brackets that are welded on the chassis.

That's what you are supposed to do. If you remove those brackets how do you expect to get them connected?

You can cut them off or cut off the pieces on your car which interfere.

u can cut those off, it would be better than cutting the car.......in the back it has 2 screws that screw onto the car parallel to the fender.....on the side, they have 2 screws that are vertical, they wont fall off

I did this intstal on my 98 200sx.. there are 2 pieces of metal that hold the 98 style grill on... you can bend them back and forth and they will break off... then the projector's will fit right in... and the 97 or less style grills fit into the mounts on the projector's... sure it's true you can't reverse it like this.. but once you have projector's why would u want to go back to stock ? Also to instal the crystal clear corners I had to trim the part above on the projectors.. so the clear corners would fit, u also need to trim the corrisponding piece on the clear corners.. trim them both unitl flush

also start looking for a 9003 conector

because it's a bitch to get the wiring right without one... i did without.. and blew many fuses to get the right combination... but works great now...

ya, thats another thing, dont use the harness that comes with the halos, use the factory harness

okay, i cut off the brackets from the lights and now i still cannot install the lights because of the stock grille brackets get in the way. If they made the halo lights correct in the first place we would not have to cut off or break shit to get them to fit. I guess i have to wait until the morning time to start cutting shit. Thanx everyone.

ya, a dremel will do the trick

the write up on the 200sx project car on nissan performance mag is the goo done to follow.
I myself cut those backets off my car and the halos fit in their place. I dont know how you would mount them on that side if you didnt have those brackets.

Just to throw my two cents in here. After having SEVERAL issues witht the first set of halos, I sold them to Seth. The harness they use kinda sucks....KINDA.

I've heard some people swear something fierce at them(me) and some people praise them(not to many).

After buying my 2nd pair of lights, I actually direct wired them to the stock wires. Works like a F'n charm! No issues with them.

If I get my lazy ass up.....someday I'll tell yall which wires go where.

OneViaVision · Aug 8th, 2003, 07:09 PM

lol yeah i wired mine the same way.. it was a bitch to figure out which wires went where.. but after a little trial and error.. and a few fuses later.. i figured it out.. and works bueatifuly...

bickmade · Aug 9th, 2003, 02:27 AM

wiring was the easy part, its getting them to fit right is the trick. so i guess the only way to install the lights are to remove the brackets, but I still think that is ghey.

Let me know which wire on the halo headlight goes to the stock harness. Thanks
