  • Headlight question...I know about Autooptics lol

    Ok I didn't want to spend the money and buy the autooptics kit so I dremeled out the back of some h4 lights and bought 2 sylvania silverstar H7 bulbs. I finished them up and they came out really nice. My question is how can I connect them to my existing headlight connection since the connection in the little plastic piece (lol very technical) is for an h4 sealed beam. Do they sell h7 connections or should i just connect it a different way. Any help would be apreciated.

    well...you could try splicing the wires together, but i wouldn't recommend it. :-P You can get the H7 harness off of ebay for about $15 - $20 bucks.

        haha thats an awesome idea...I was thinking of something along those lines but wasn't sure. Thanks for both of your help. O ya, how do i know which prong goes to which wire? I think there is a green and a tan wire if im not mistaken.

              You don't even have to cut the stock wires. You can use a combination of female and male connectors to use as an adapter. H7-&gt;female-&gt; filed down male -&gt; stock connector (I think).

                haha i guess that would work but i ended up just cutting the harnesses off and added feamle disconnects to them. The h7 connections fit right in and everyhting worked out awesome. Thanks for the help
