|
i recieved a bunch of emails about how you put these kits in, and i figured i would make it easier on me and you if i showed this . this shows how easy it is........
i took out the headlight. the plug for the headlight now plugs into the ballast in the kit. the ballast has a new plug from it that goes to the light bulb. i was able to even fit the ballast behind the light
then i just put the light back in. its tight but it fits.
by far one of the best things i ever did, and easiest lol. any questions at all feel free to post up, or pm me, or email me @ [email protected]
thanks guys
then you just turn them on
and here is a decent shot at them. these are the 12k that most people get.

Does a stock generator make enough juice for these, or is an upgrade needed on that beforehand?
cheers

Wondering this too, I also have a fairly hefty sound system in my super. Do HIDs drain more or less power than normal headlights?

With HID's the power draw when they initially turn on is pretty big but not going to cause a problem. After they are "warmed up" the power draw is less than a 35w bulb. If you see a kit fired up you can see the "warming up" process. The lights will kick on and get brighter in the first few seconds. Kinda neat. Had a HHR with someretro-fitted Infiniti projectors and HID's on it. Amazing clarity at night. And if done right you ahve little to no glare. |

| I have a question. My classic Mustang has a headlight bulb and connector VERY similar to Beetles, would you think these would work on this application? If so, I know loads of people on my other forums would want these. |

all i need is the make , model, and year and i can look it up. i get them in all bulb types. its not limited to h4's. just let me know. thanks.
also keep in mind if it is a 'sealed' beam now you need 'non sealed' headlights that allow you to remove just the bulb not the entire light. i can get those too. |

they are not illegal as far as i know. any car that costs 50k or more has them as a luxary item. i dont see the differance.
