Hey guys

I finally had some time to go to Concord Customs today to enquire about the inverters for my Angel lights which are supposedly supposed to make them brighter than what they are now.

The guy had a look at it and he said "Looks like we need to open the headlights" which is gonna set me back $250.

But he pointed out below:

That White board is the power source for my angel lights and that needs to be replaced with the inverters I have.

So at this point, I need to find out what power voltage that white board is If it's the same as the Inverters, then there's really no point replacing them. But if they are different, then I'll go ahead with replacing them.

I am literally 1 step away from finding out.

Hey Rusty it's not too hard.

Just remember to organize your bolts and be careful with those black plastic clips. They can break.

Hey guys

This is another small update on my projector headlights. For those who haven't read before, I installed them, I wasn't happy with their brightness, I then contacted the seller, after 61 emails over a period of 8 months, I was able to get some "inverters" a.k.a power source for my angel lights.

Before I thought it was going to cost me $250 per projector headlight to install the inveters, but it's actually for both which is a really good price.

So between now and the next 2 weeks, I will head out to Concord Customs and I will the below picture replaced with my new inverters.

If this works...I'll be the happiest person ever.

Inverters are the way to go but swap to Morimoto inverters if you can.

Hey Adam

Why those ones specifically? Do you know where I could get some?
