New pictures. Really hard to get decent pictures of light output with my iPhone, but this is what I've got. And a pic of my makeshift dust cover to give you an idea of what you've gotta do.
I think the light output is pretty decent, definitely better than I had before. I don't really have any experience with good headlights so I can't really compare.

That goes into the relays
Out of the relays come 2 black and 1 white wire, and a ground (1 back for driver halo power and 1 for passenger halo power, 1 white to detect when low beams go on)
Ground hooked up to stud determined in Daeos guide
1 black for passenger halo hooked up to black power for passenger halo
1 black for driver halo hooked up to black power for driver halo
1 white wire hooked up to passenger low beam power

All the guides said to use the red wire with white stripe in the DME. I tried a couple other wires that had switched power but they either blew the same 10 amp fuse in the DME or blew the 30amp inline fuse in the harness. The halos are drawing too much power from the circuit that I'm supposed to tap into in the DME....what do I do?

Edit: Well let this be a lesson to everyone to follow the directions exactly. Escpecially with wiring. I thought I was smart and could tap into the wires on the headlight side of the connector. Must have tapped the wrong wires and I'm lucky I didn't fry something. Rewired to the other side and all is good.

Will show u my set up tomorrow

Surprisingly on par with hids. What's the wattage

They are 60w. They throw a lot of light right in front of the car. I don't think that's ideal but they work good enough for me. Probably close to the best you're gonna get out of these projectors.
The color matches the angel eyes perfectly and is just clean white light.

At lease u don't hav a warm up time and they are much more efficient

What K are your lights that they match perfectly?
My LEDs are 6000K

They light up and look exactly as my h7 kit I installed in them. Rings are still brighter than the actual light

You have HIDs? I think this is about as good as it's going to get with these projectors. HID vs LED is probably going to be near the same light output.

Yes I installed hid in them, used the original cover and modified the rubber seal so now it looks oem. Even used some high temp clear silicon and applied it around the entire light, 4 car washes and no issues yet and also applied it in the back

Damn, I should have resealed them before I put them in. The passenger side headlight is fogging up after washing the car.

Output with the h7 I got.

Nice it really lights up. And it's not scattered at all

[unrulyteach]

Is it me or does the new 7er headlights look like these

Wonder how hard it is to remove the projectors on these. Thinking about doing a retrofit with some Morimoto H1 or the ACME H1 projectors:

From a quick glance at them before I sealed them up even more, they looked easily dismantlable

[nuron]

Cool, thinking about getting a set and measuring the openings to see if it'll accommodate the projectors I listed. That flare on the stock driver's side beam kinda bothers me.

Keep us posted! I'd consider this as I hate the messed up cutoff of these ones.

Anyone want to show me how they hav there headlights leveled? Preferably up against a wall or garage door. It would be greatly appreciated

I think they're aimed a bit low.

Thanks that really helped a lot. How did u lock the bulb in the housing? I think I locked it real fat just wanted to make sure don't feel like taking out the headlights just to check

You use the spring clip thing to hold the bulb down.
