Xenon depot LED 9005

[lois35]

Ok. Got them in and put the in my headlights. Problem is that the housing area for the light itself I cannot put all the wires and the square on the cable in there. I ended up putting them outside of it and just put the cover on and pinched the wires with the gasket. I did the fog lights but it had more room in the housing for the bulb. What has everyone else ended up doing. They work great but I just am afraid the water might seep in.
Thanks
Lois

..I believe JC Thorne did a video of His install for The Xenon Depot........I haven't done mine yet, but I am considering cutting a small slot in the rear of the cap,( with a Dremel ) just large enough for the braid to slip through......then opening up the braid like they recommend........maybe JC can post a LINK ???......Mike :thumbup:

I was able to make it all fit.Very tight! Might redo, cutting hole in cap and after wiring through hole reseal it,for water tight. Having the tight fit ,makes me nervous about heat. Not sure how hot they will get. Others have did the hole cutting thing.:agree:

Larry, if your concerned about the BRAID getting hot enough to damage the cap ( either totally contained inside or put through a slot ) I wouldn't be........The reason I want the BRAID to be cool is because I have read that the performance of the LED can be effected by how HOT it gets ie. the LUMENS drop do to heat........Mike :thumbup:

it fits, i did it. if you can get the black square box that lights the bulb at the top of the housing, then just fit all the wires and braids around it housing, it will work

Thanks everyone. I went ahead and did the dermal thing. Work good. Used liquid tape to keep it water tight.
They r great lights

Lois , regarding the " dermal "( dremel ) thing you did.....Did you cut a slot and put it straight out the rear of the cap ? ?.... and the liquid tape you used !!...I don't know how hot the BRAID can get !!.. Soooooo I have a concern about the flammability of that as a sealant........I think JC did some temp testing on these, maybe you can ask Him........Mike :thumbup:

Ok thanks. It's on the outside of the cover and once it dries its turns in to rubber.

I can confirm it all fits inside the lamp housing. Here is a thread with lots of pics of the install when I posted the review.
