ST170 headlights
Feb 25th, 2007 at 8:19pm
 
Just out of the box, straight from Germany.

...

Bought a full set of Silverstar bulbs for these (indicators included) and the light throw is pretty awesome!

...
...

Another step closer to my final goal  Grin

I'll post up some pics of it outside tomorrow, provided the snow doesn't force me to stay in, heh.

dude!

I really wish they made xenon bulbs for my dinky little stock fogs, so they didn't look yellow compared to the headlamps.

well look at that. Hoen.com DOES sell 4000k xenon-matched 893 bulbs. I was under the impression that no one could find that bulb size in xenon. Yay!

Those will match the Silverstar headlamps perfect!

And if I ever get the ST170 bumper, those fogs use a much easier to find H3 bulb  Cheesy

Pretty sure that little thing could almost be used as a headlight at that point

Hey Jon, you wired up the Mach's so maybe you can help with this too. How do I get the turn signals in the headlamp to light along with the parking lights on the side of the bumper? I've try wiring them two different ways:

The way they are wired now they work as indicators but are off while driving. The indicators on the side of the bumper flash AND act as parking lights.

If I try to splice a wire from the parking/city light into the indicator, they will work as both turn/parking lights but then the side indictor won't stay lit.

hmm...
I think the internal wiring of the headlight won't allow it because it has you tapping into the Minor and Major wires off the factory grill lightes to illuminate the city light and the indicator seperately.

the wiring harness doesn't bridge conections, that VW plug i'm referring too.

so you might have to go into the headlight and change the wires to be spliced together but then your city light might blink as well.

the side indicators are on a seperate line from teh front grill lights.
so your gonna have to splice the city light into the turn signal wiring to get the indicator to light up full time and blink I think

just be sure that you follow the lamin-x directions and don't pull on the film to make it overlap.
they are cut specifically to size and if you try and stretch it over the entire lense, when the film contracts there has been cases where it has caused the lense cover to form spider cracks

I need to upgrade the bulbs on my euro's.  Is there a fog light that will match the Silverstars in the headlamps?

Did the Hoen lamps work well?
