Just received my depos with predator chroniums today.
I failed to completely install it on my first attempt. Started kinda late and was left in the dark.

My first obstacle was trying to fit the hlamp, since it seems to be deeper its a bit tricky. Especially since my intake is lies behind the headlamp.

Also a web of wires kept pushing back as I pushed in.

The lights came with a pnp connector and I simply connected to the previous sockets, but the're's also a white wire, which im not sure where it connects.

Is it the ground, or is it to splice into the ambers for city lights???

Yeah, so it is the city lights!

However the there are 3 wires going into the corner lights, which one to splice into.

Also i plugged the hi and low beam sockets and tried it out but neither hi/low lit up.
any idea as to why?

start by doing your install, connect the angel eyes to your parking lights (grey/yellow stripe on one side, grey/purple on the other).

you need 4 h1 bulbs unless you ordered hids, any parts store will have them locally for a few bucks.

Tried H1's they seem to still not turn on, there's a metal tab at the end of the bulb which seems to connect to nothing, just to the back of plastic casing. Is it supposed to be like that.

no, the yellow wire with the spade does connect to the back of the h1 bulb.

sent you a pm

thanks

I just installed mine. Broke the signal light tab off of the head light assembly, the PNP connector pins kept falling off and one broke, so I had to solder it on.

The pins on the back of the assembly were no in order. One was 90 out and I believe the other was 180 out.

One of the bulbs is brighter than the other.

The assemblys are fogged up.

One of the "threads" for the big plastic screws became damaged and no longer accepts scews without shreading them.

I had to readjust the assembly within the chassis to get the lights even close to being within aim, and the adjusters for side to side aim are pretty much jammed.

Took 7 hours to install and its still not right, and I know my way around a garage. Thats not including the time spent removing the assemblys last night.

Update:

The fit is decent after all the labor. These are the DDMTuning DEPOs. I had to split the lights and remove the glass to get to the aduster nut for the hozizontal adjustment. I'm going to say it was assembled wrong, because the piece fits fine after putting it back in. This nut was sitting at the bottom of the assembly and is supposed to be snapped into the assembly for the threaded adjuster rod to thread through. These bulbs are "194" if you need them for your lights. They also have an amber set which would probably look good too, and would just as easily pass for DRL.

Has anyone had any trouble with the Police with the city lights on? I have mine wired to come on in accesory and run position of the key. I think they could pass for DRLs.

Yeah I spend about the same time over a span of 2 days.

This was quite an experience.

Mainly I found out I can't have my intake and chroniums at the same time
:(

So it was bye bye intake, took out the tube and hooked the filter to the unit, good idea??? its only a temp thing

what intake do you have?

Its a cosmos CAI, it usually went down behind the oe hlamp

How was it either intake or angel eyes? haha..aren't angel eyes in the housings..

My cosmos cai works with my djauto headlights. It's a tight fit, but it works

Mine wouldn't wanna fit at all, just wondering if there are any smaller air filters, those would prob work.

I hooked my air filter directly to the air unit for now, you think that will be ok?

the back of the light should be hitting the pipe not the filter, its a tight fit but it does work without any mods.
you went from a cold air to a short ram intake, its totally fine.

Its definetly hitting the intake, i tried it twice,
first hlamp w/ intake --- wouldn't fit
next
remove intake, insert and secure hlamp then reinsert intake --- does not fit

Its all good thou, will try to get some heatshield soon.


BTW the chroniums look amazing!!!!!!!!!

GREAT NEWS!!!

i just saved hundreds by switching to geico hahaha

but really, i found out my cosmos cai has a tube which is used as an extension so i used it to lower my filter and everything fit.
Tough thou, i had to take out the hlamp and corners once again to do it, also relocate the horns.

Its a tight fit, and almost hard to believe that any air will flow into the intake in such a small almost restrictive space.
