Hi everyone
I recently bought some angel lights for my car but having trouble fitting them. Firstly my old lights only had one bulb but the angels have two. Because of this I am a wire short and wondered what I need to do/buy to get another wire to the other bulb. Secondly my old bulbs have 3 prongs but my new ones have 3 bit the old bulbs won't fit in the new lights. Because of this the connector to the bulb won't fit on the new bulb and I need help on how to solve these problems.
Any help will be appreciated

Angel eyes should be H4 connectors and blue straight in. They usually use a red, blue and black wire for the dipped, main and earth

I've tried my h4 bulbs from my old lights but they won't fit, plus they have two filaments in one bulb and so if I put them in my angels one of the four lights wouldn't work. I might try the adapters but do they split a three pin connection into two 2 pin one to make both lights work or do I need something else to make both lights work?

You need H1 bulbs in angels
But they should have a H4 plug to connect them to the loom on the car
Where abouts in Sheff are you? I could lend a hand if you're struggling

I now understand that to make the bulbs fit to the car I must buy an adapter, but won't that still make me a connection short as there is only one connector and I need two connections (one for each bulb) or do the adapters split off into two?
Sorry for bein abit dopey but still don't fully understand what I need to make both connections when there is only one connector.

The only plug on the angels is on the sidelight (which fits on okay) and I've took the indicator from my old lights (which fits okay) but there are no plugs on the lights other than them. There is one three prong plug on the car and I am left with two bulbs to plug it into with two prongs on each bulb so need to know how to get two 2 prong bulbs to fit with only one 3 pronged plug.

Earths join together and ones dipped and others main
Either it a connector for about £4 from vehicle wiring products, or just use some spade crimps

Need to get these bulbs sorted today as if I dont I cannot return them for the ones I need. I have H7's for the angels do I need H1's as they only have one prong on each bulb (one for high and one for dipped beam? If so where does the earth wire go to?
Any help appreciated

If you have bought H7 bulbs, they should fit into the holder I think. Then just buy the H7 bulb connector
Fit the two earth wires together, then fit them into a H4 connector
Vehicle Wiring Products, as I said earlier
Or just use crimps to connect to the bulbs

Thaks Lee I now get how the bubs attatch to car, I think.
Let me get this straight and tell me if I'm wrong. I need two H7 connectors for each light and there is two wires coming from each connector (one is live wire and other is earth). I need to attatch the earths from both connectors together and run them to one plug on the h4 block, then run the two live wires seperate to the other two plugs on the h4 block using spade crimps?
