It would be great if someone could rig up a wiring diagram, including a method of incorporating the halo lights as Canadian DRL. I'm thinking it might involve the removal of the stock DRL module, adding an aftermarket, and going crazy with wires.

***this link should be in a FAQ somewhere so I can actually say hey go search...it was pretty hard to find.

Alrighty. There is the link that I followed. Pretty straight forward...but trust me its hours with trial and error fitting. Be prepared to do this over several days if your not a complete dremel master. IMO the pictures look way better than when looking at it in person.

my install was similar... I'm actually doing a de-install right now since I'm tired of the projectors... I've posted pics in my worklog if anyone is interested. Please pm or respond for pic requests or if you have questions:

ok folks, well what i need to know is, the amount of people interested in getting projectors made for the mx3. they will be dot and sae approved. the light will consist of a highbeam and a projector with halos around them. i will be getting a pic from the manufacturer as soon as the design is complete. I need a sufficient amount of people seriously interested in order for me to go ahead with the project as the moulds are very expensive. PLEASE try to get the word around to ev1 as i need a good idea of the amount to be made. As soon as i get a pic i will post it! thx

Depending on the price you could count me in. Any idea of a ball park cost for them?

the new lights will mount to the black mounting brackets like the original ones so all the adjusters and other mounts like the one in the corner tip by the grill will also fit, im trying to make this as easy as possible to be an easy swap.

Assuming I have not beaten the car into a bloody plup of scrap metal and rust because of all the bloody rust occuring on the bloody body, I am so in.

However, how many projector projects have there been so far?
