"How to" Install 4th Gen Trans Am Harley Fog Light Mod and Morimoto Halos 

Thanks, glad you found it helpful.

Thanks

Thanks, the light output over stock is crazy

I think it's been 11 years. I started in 2009 and you were one of my first customers. Glad to hear it's still working good. Is your's still the old style with the turn knob to change the scans? What year was it we met at the TA Nationals. Time is flying so I'm sure it's been quite a long time.

@@1999TransAmWS6 It was in 2010. I won the Show and Shine in the neighboring town. OK I ordered my Halos and Bluetooth command unit. But these Halos are not water proof. Did silicone all the controllers and command unit to keep it water resistant?

Thanks

Sorry to hear about the ditch. I BMR on both my cars with the Koni Str.t shocks. The stance is great and I love the handling. Not too firm. Fo the halos you can buy them from Diode Dynamics or Morimoto directly from thier websites or eBay. Just search for 120mm switch back on either site.

The best prices I found were Ebay. I had to buy the halos and the xbt controller seperate.

@@1999TransAmWS6 Awesome!!! Thanks so much!

Just the fog lights alone are worth the money. They put out a lot of light.

BTW you have did it again 👍🏾✌🏾

I like the way yours is set up

Yeah actually I've thought of both. I didn't want to do the upper lights as turn signals since I already have Amber ones. I'm still considering doing the white rope light in the gap with the lights down. It would probably work.

I disable the DRL module on all of my Trans Ams so I've never had an issue with them. There is no law in the US that you have to have daytime running lights. The heat from but bulbs constantly on always melts the front turn signal sockets. It can cause strange stuff to happen when it does. My friends gauge cluster started going off when his turn signal sockets were starting to randomly short. After replacing them, the problems went away. I would replace them and if you still have an issue, just unplug the DRL module. It sits right behind the radio.

I made a video on how to install projector HIDs a while ago but not with the halos or the rope light. Unfortunately, I can't really make a how to on it after it's already installed.

@@1999TransAmWS6 Tnx for the ansfer. Maybe its a stupid question. But do you modify and ship to someone already done and ready to install? Thank you

@@xyperox No I don't. The only thing I sell is my knight rider lights and even those I'm winding down and will probably stop soon. Everything else either takes too long to build, has expensive parts (both of which make them unsellable), or I want them for my cars only.

Just a little silicone

You have to remove the fog light from the bracket while in the car.

The high beams are a different hella projector. The brackets are different too. The guy that sells the brackets on ebay sells both the high and low beams. The high beam projector is HELLA 998570021 60mm HB3High. The difference is it does hot have a cutoff inside so you get more light in all directions. Here's a couple things I've learned because I had a few different combinations over the years. If you install 55 watt Low beams then the high beams are not needed at all except just for looks. I originally had 35 watt low beams HID and 35 watt high beam hids in my blue car. With that setup you can definitely see a huge difference since it doesn't have a cutoff. After I installed my 55watts in my low beams (I got tired of toggling the high beams on and off every morning...lots of deer), the high beams were not needed anymore. I could "barely" tell when the high beams were on since the low beams were so bright. Then I installed the fogs lights in this video which made the high beams completely unnecessary. I like them for looks with my 70mm halos on the high beams but I never have to turn them on anymore. I'm not blinding anyone either with my 55 watts low beams. The cutoff keeps the beam low to the ground and as long as you adjust them properly, you wont have any oncoming traffic flashing their lights t you.

@@1999TransAmWS6 Good deal man! I did notice the ebay seller had listed the high/low beam bracket combo and did notice the 2 different Hella projectors available as well. Will probably do 35 low/55 high combo. That seems to be the same rating for the halogens. Are they both 9005 pigtails? Thanks!

@@derelict_wanderer yep they're both 9005

I tapped into the turn signals since they also function as daytime running lights. I also did some fancy wiring with relays so I only have one halo running at the same time and to use for car shows but that's not required for a standard install.

What kind of relay did you use? RL45?

I didn't do anything to seal them and I daily drive the blue car through rain and snow. The halos are sealed.

@@1999TransAmWS6 thank you! I think I'm going to have to just dive in and try your method out!

In a parade you'd probably be okay but not during normal driving.

I never bought a set like that.

Glad the lights are working out for you. Now there's nothing to put in the interior.

@@1999TransAmWS6 ok thanks, is there anything else that your making to sell?

Oh I noticed you have red lighted door on the red T/A, do you make to sell ? If so what’s the cost & can it be done in blue? My t/a blue like yours Thanks

I have another video showing how to do the projector hid lights

I have a video how to install the projector headlights but not the strip on top.

@@1999TransAmWS6 Your headlights now are way sexier than in your video from '16! Is there any way you could do a short update video?

@@HunterJonesJr I may do that for a future video. I have a few projects I'm currently working in.

I've been looking for headlights like the ones you have mounted for a long long time, years. I would absolutely love to see the build for that so I can put it on my bird! Love the videos!

@@tjazure I have it on my list for future videos to make. I can't do a true how to cause I already made mine but I can do a close-up and explain how I did it. This is actually pretty simple. I've just been super busy with house projects and other things lately. My plan for this weekend is a How To for installing the cts-v 4 piston calipers and explaining wheel clearance for them.

Sorry but I bought mine off ebay so the link is no longer active. You can buy them directly from Morimoto.com. They sell just a basic 120mm white/amber unit that doesn't require any control box.

@@1999TransAmWS6 ok thanks a lot. That's what I will do then.

They're projector housings with hid bulbs. I have it in one of my other videos.

Ok I think I see it. Thank you I’ll check it out.

I've thought about it. I may in the future. I have a ton of projects right now and about half a dozen other videos I want to make first.

If you mean for a firebird or formulas, probably not. They definitely fit 98-02 trans am's and possibly 93-97 Trans am's too if they're the same size.

I made them myself. The high and low beams are HID projectors. I put a 70mm switchback halo on the high beams and a 24" white rope light across the top. I had to do some fabrication for the rope light.

Thanks. No I don't do Instagram. Just RU-vid

I've never tried it but others have told me they are the same

The red car lip just installs with double sided tape and some screws on the bottom side. Tape Dope has to be used on the paint so it sticks better. I've had it on for about 12 years now with no problems.

@@1999TransAmWS6 i have a black ws6 i have been looking into getting the lip but in some ws6 just doesn't look right but the style you have looks awesome i will be getting one like yours now thanks

That was something I bought from blackcatcustms.com

@@1999TransAmWS6 sounds good and anthor question what's the size of the eagle in the hood

@@chrissimonmagana mine is 44"x44". The standard Phoenix Grafics will fit

@@1999TransAmWS6great thnkx for the information I appreciate it

No they were off eBay.

Some parts from Amazon, some from Ebay. I also made custom mounts for the rope light. I cover the low beam install with parts list in another one of my videos.

I got mine on ebay

@@1999TransAmWS6 thanks, I appreciate it. Looking to do a similar setup this coming weekend. Should be interesting

It's a good question. I don't know the answer to it though.

Jason Firebird, measuring the OD of the formula measured 4.5” so I’m going to risk it and give it a go.

@@caseyvickery cool. You should reply with how it goes. I'm sure other people will wonder the same

Jason Firebird it’s a 4.5” for the formulas. I can confirm it

@@birdfromhell7540 awesome. That's good to know because I get a lot of people asking me

Ebay

@@1999TransAmWS6 got a link?

@@angel1320. I bought them 5 years ago. Listing is no longer active. You'll have to search.

No prob thanks

The clear plate to make them was discontinued years ago

the link for the fog lights is in the video description

I don't have any tricks for that. Standard method for removing a rusty bolt...heat, penetrating oil, pry bar, etc

@@1999TransAmWS6 was able to get it off with a few curse words I came up with lol thanks anyways

For the wiring part, yes.

@@1999TransAmWS6 sweet! Thanks for the quick reply

I 0nly have one for the low beam install

@@1999TransAmWS6 I just watched the video on the low beam lights . What all did u put on to make the whole headlight look like they do in this video. I like how it have the led light/ line going along the top of the bulbs which makes it look like the newer style headlights

@@Cityking_Gank_ it's difficult to explain in a message response. I may make a video on them in the future.

@@1999TransAmWS6 that would be great ! What kind of price u think if u made them for me

@@Cityking_Gank_ I'm not making them for anyone

Hey Harry, it's been a long time. I don't really make custom size scanners anymore, just ws6 Trans Am or Mustangs. What size scanner would it be?

Hey Jason!! How’s everything going man!! & yeah it’s been a few years.. but on the scanner id like one to fit in the grill of my 2019 Z71 Stingray- I would like one 31” total but do it like before where you gave me on for each side so 15” 1/2 long & 1” 1/2 wide & bright Red as you can get it.. let me know what you’d charge & I’ll give you my new email address so you can email me deathscythe_71@yahoo.com thanks man!! You still do Awesome work!!!!..

Nope, they are plug and play. No soldering or anything like that.

Jason Firebird thanks for responding, I found the same set but they have the halos built in so they don’t have the connector I just didn’t know with switching to leds if you needed to get resisters I’m gonna order them tonight !!

@@klebb3901 I've installed a set like that in a friend's car. The fog light part itself will still plug into the factory connector. To hook up the halo you'll have to run a power wire for them. An easy connection is tap the halo power into the turn signal wires. They'll be on with your running lights but then also flash when you hit the turn signal.

So I was thinking of taking the running light wire which should be brown and take it out of the turn signal lights and put them directly to the halos so then my halos would be running lights and the turn signals wouldn’t

@@klebb3901 actually, it doesn't work that way. The daytime running light module changes the way that wire performs. It's powered all the time for the running light . Then when you hit your turn signal, it kills the power and turns it back on to flash it. What's up buddy. I tried doing it like that and it was driving me nuts. If you hook up to that wire it will work as a daytime running light, but also flash like a turn signal.
