yea, i wanted those too, but i was told that u can not use your stock, 9006 bulbs in there, ( and i love my 9006 bulbs after years of searching i actually found a set that lights up a very nice blue just like 8000k HID )

those projectors come with h3 bulb which is a foglight bulb. theya re not bright at all.

the only thing i can suggest in making them brighter is to either try to modify it so a better bulb fits, or see if u can get a h3 HID kit and put it in there.

as for the wiring, put up some pics and maybe someone can see it and help. i have no clue i haven't seen them b 4.

goodluck, let us know how it turns out.

My projectors came with a harness to use 9005 bulbs and they still aren't bright, thats why I took them off. I talked to a guy that knows a little more about them and he said for a projector to be bright it needs to have 5 inches between the bulb and the projector lens. If you notice, the 350Zs and the aftermarket 5.0 Mustang projectors have a long tube behind the projector lens for just that reason. They look really cool during the day, they just aren't bright enough for me at night without that space between the bulb and lens.
