Help with High Beam install

[Hypergram]

Nice! Glad I remembered that sometimes the polarity is switched! Now you just need to get some quick pics tonight, I wanna see how those Aukee's do for high beams!

Here's a pic!

Sweet, looks like you get some nice throw distance, I'll eventually switch my high beams over to the Aukee too... Well, I'm off to install my new intercooler today and my induction hose comes Tuesday, I'm finally getting my main mods complete!

Good luck with that! In my

Nice to hear! Good luck! Prepare for something to go wrong. It always seems to with me in my experience.

Thanks, going over to my buddies house where I'll have 2 more gear heads to help out too. Also watched the YouTube videos and I should be good!

So now 6 months later, do you feel like it was worth it? I don't use my high beams too often, but when I do I'd like them to match the LED low beams.

Yeah absolutely. Even minor upgraded beams are 10x better than the stock crap ones. I kept the oem low beams since I didn't want to blind people or potentially mess them up.

Yes, absolutely. I originally just moved my halogen high beams over and wasn't happy. Once I figured out the the type to get I love my high beams, worth every bit of $35 to have it done and over with

You should consider some of the ones proven to have no glare. Tech Max Gen 2 are amazing! If you really don't like them and think they are blinding people send them back, easy with Amazon, but I seriously doubt you will

Ill probably get to it eventually. Got other stuff on my plate for the car first tho. Trunk bar and caliper paint to name a few.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a few projects lined-up, but I'll definitely add this to the list.

I'll second the compliment for the TechMax Gen2. That's what I'm using in my low beams, and I am thoroughly impressed that LEDs in a reflector housing do so well.

You got a link to these? Do I need an adapter for them like the high beams or are they relatively plug and play?

Dan had a link in the LED headlights thread. They are plug and play.
Full disclosure, the driver's side went it snug but no issue. The passenger side gave me a little bit of pushback. I chose to not fight it and trim a bit of the inside of the housing.

Yes, this is the exact one recommended for factory reflectors, EXCELLENT output and worth trimming the passenger side opening a tiny bit...

Did you guys leave the ballast/resistor in the housing? Does it matter where it goes for the the high beam or even the lowbeam?

I left the LED drivers outside the housing for best heat dissipation with LED's sensitive to heat, I don't use rear housing caps and never had any issues with moisture. For high beams I just used LED's with internal drivers, you could always use TechMax or others that have internal drivers instead too.

You might have to get creative to find a place to stuff it in nice and tight (I know, that's what she said... LOL)

To anyone thinking of doing this, like @Hypergram, I too had to put my red/black wires in the opposite of what this photo indicates.
I used these H1's. (And, yeah, they do make a huge difference!)
