Okay so the thought crossed my mind to change out the LEDs in my projector foglight halos. I suggested this to a friend who lives down in FL, also an SRT owner, who has an OB. He wanted his orange. I said buy the stuff, ship it to me I'll do it for you. So...enough stories here we go. These foglights are not mine, they belong to SRTPastryChef, though I do have a set of my own.
You need:
- Pair of Projector Foglights from Ebay (Mine are from SpeedInifiniti)
- 4 5mm Pre-Wired LEDs from Oznium.com in color of your choice
- Silicone (preferably clear with a thin nozzle)
- Wire strippers
- A phillips head and a flat head
1. Start by unscrewing the two screws on either side of the projector. Remove these. The projector will need to be turned 180 degrees so it's beam is aimed properly. From the factory that makes these, the beam is upside down.
2. Using your flathead, pry the "chrome" feet of the halo off of the projector, and remove the projector from the housing. Leave the halo ring there.
3. Now you can do one of two things. Using a thin flathead, pry between the glass and the plastic shroud and pop off the lens. OR Try prying the shit out of the halo ring to get it out. The first option is easier, and you can seal the glass better the second time around. I chose this option. It makes taking them apart and putting them back together way easier.
4. On the rear of the halo, once you have everything apart, you'll see a clear rubber piece with wires coming out of it. Pull that out.
5. Pulling from the LEDs, pull the LEDs and the wires out of the rubber.
6. Group together two of your 5mm Oznium LEDs and slide them through, wires first SIMULTANEOUSLY. It makes things so much easier than doing them one at a time. Once you slide them down all the way, bend one to the right and one to the left. Apply a small bead of silicone in between the two of them. Twist, butt connect, or solder both of the ground wires and both power wires together.
7. Apply a thin bead of silicone around the perimeter of the plastic housing. Place the lens on, and tape it using masking tape or painter's tape, heat up the edges and tape it firmly. Allow it to set for at least 24 hours. The tighter its held on there, the better your seal. The seal these come with is VERY poor.
8. Repeat for the other side.
Any questions....feel free to ask. Mine will be modded shortly also
Now for pictures.....Here is what they light up as when you first get them (white but the camera gives it a blue hue)

All apart (except the lens, I popped that off afterwards)
