FK Angel Eyes

[CNBLU]

Im trying to install a set of angel eyes. All is good but for the high beam and indicators dont work. If anyone has got these installed give me a clue. Looking at the connections but cant figure it out.

[glider]

they might be similar to depo, whats up?

[CNBLU]

Ive got the rings and Hids working but cant figure out the high beam and indicators... Which colour goes where?

[glider]

ill pop bonnet and see

[glider]

have you got a green wire and a black wire going into a white plug? thats the indicator from memory


-edit-
for low beams, should be a the yellow/black combo which hooks up to factory yellow/brown wiring
for high beams, should be white/black combo connecting to factory white/brown

[CNBLU]

one sec...

[CNBLU]

yes that is connected but when i indicate it flashes really quickly like i have a blown bulb

[glider]

hmm, maybe try the indicator bulb from the factory lights? maybe the FK bulb is a different resistance?

[CNBLU]

These came off an astra g. So it should just plug in.

[Wraith]

I've got the FK's Gav. they just plug in straight up !

If it's not working, you may have mixed up one for another maybe ??

I recommend unplugging all the looms and start again one at a time, they should have come with a wiring diagram showing what's what...

If you still stuck by tonight, I'll have a look at mine when I get home and help further :)

[CNBLU]

ok i'll try again:o

[glider]

heh ok heres how mine are just to check

Headlights <-> Car
Small Plug Grey/Black <-> Grey/Brown
Large Blug Yellow/Blk <-> Yellow/Brown
Large Plug White/Blk <-> White/Brown
White Plug Green/Blk <-> White/Black Wire and Black Wire

[CNBLU]

ok a couple of things

my yellow and brown is going into my HID's and secondly i cant see a white/black wire and black wire

[glider]

cant see this wire?

[CNBLU]

The only whie and black wire i have is the one coming out of the angel eyes

[glider]

i think i confused you

what i mean is an actual white and black striped wire

as seen connected to the white plug in the picture below

[JR]

mine is the same as what glider said.

n as u said, the yellow/brown goes to ur hid ballast.

u should have a black/white wire coming out of the headlight.

have a look at the diagram below.
the only diff is i connected/plugged #5 to #6, and #7 to #8. this way i can use the existing parker plug, and don't have to wire up anything.

[glider]

right so is it still high beams + indicators not working?

[CNBLU]

yes not working

[glider]

umm looking at that photo

is that brown wire on the high beam connected to the white wire and so forth (reversed polarity)?

[JR]

oh..oh....oh....i remember now.

its the positive & negative wires.

on the headlights - the negative wire = black
on the astra - the negative wire = brown.

u'll notice (in da pics) for the highbeam plug - the brown wire (of the car) is inline/connecting to the white wire (of the headlight).
dats why its not working!!

swap these around n bob's ur uncle.

its simple - u might need a needle or pin or something to push the metal connector out from the plastic plug, swap, n click it back in.

try that.

hehehe....beat me to it :D

[CNBLU]

ok high beam is now working

indicator is still not. Getting there

[nuggz]

hey gav, i can see some dirt in the photo...

not good enough

[CNBLU]

Ok everything is working except the indicators. Can some have a look and tell me what i need to hook up to what??

[aza28]

can't see why indicator won't work, ur using the standard wiring, aren't u? - it SHOULD simply be a matter of securing to headlight...... very weird.

[Jerram]

obvious point but are the bulbs still good? Also remember that some Angeleye lights come with no indicator bulbs or the bulbs are in a package seperate meaning you have to install them yourself.

[CNBLU]

Just pulled it out and its blown:(

Will go down to autobarn and replace it. I just hooked up the otherside and its working. All good will put up pics shortly.

Big thanks to Glider and JR for their help. Cheers Lads

[glider]

So it's all worked out with the lights ?? great stuff, I don't need to go check out mine for you :)

Damn Gav. your car is looking more and more like my vert everytime I see it LOL...

You now have similar door mounted turbo badges, same grille, same headlights, similar external side mirrors and similar centre console gauges set up...:)

Almost a copy cat clone turbo hatch version of my turbo vert LOL :D

All you need now is a nice set of 20's and it'll be complete :p :)

Here's a similar garage shot of mine :)

Are you going to keep the old headlights? I might get it off you if you don't want it.

[CNBLU]

Ok so i've installed the HID's and ive noticed that im not getting the same coverage as i did before i had the angels.

The light seems dipped too much and ive adjusted them from the top but its still to short. Any ideas?

[glider]

you may have to adjust the actual headlight in its mounting screws to get the height you're after

if you end up taking them to a panel beater or for someone to have a look at make sure you keep a close eye on what they're doing. I got mine adjusted and they broke my left hand side angels, the high beam reflector just sits loose in there now.

wouldn't have a clue on how to adjust your lights though

[JR]

is ur motor level adjusters connected properly?
u need to remove them from ur old headlights, n screw them into ur angel eyes (after u remove the dummy plug).
the same thing happened to another opelaus memeber ("J") - turns out his was not plugged in, hence it was so so low. he took it to an autoelectrian who tried adjusting (from the top), but he over did it, n it jumped out of the tracks. it couldn't b manually adjusted anymore, until the headlight was opened n the pin put back in its tracks.

its the round knob with the fan looking thing on it. in the pic, its below left of the high-beam back cover.

if u already have the motor adjusters, then as glider said, u may need to physically adjust the mounting position of the headlight.

[CNBLU]

No i havnt adjusted the motors.

Thanks guys will give it a try on my next day off;)

[tuzinski]

No i havnt adjusted the motors.

Thanks guys will give it a try on my next day off;)
gav, when i had them installed my right light was fine, but the left one was not properly connected to the motor, i was far to lazy to fix it so i left it :)

[CNBLU]

Both my lights are fine but they are dipped alot.... i can see the light projection only 2 or 3 meters infront of me.

Didnt think of the adjusting motors:)
