Special thanks goes to first my gf (Becky) who bought these for my birthday..and everyones favorite: John aka Myzneyes and Chanh

Disconnect the positive terminal...

First was getting the bulbs in:
have the blue piece go in the side slot. bulb slides in easy.

save your plastic washer that comes with the bulb and this is why...without this your bulb isnt secure but i used the plastic washer and cut it into a C shape:

next put washer behind bulb harness like this:

should be nice and secure like this:

next hook up the connectors thats with the relay, use the existing H1 harness (pop off the exisitng rubber piece) and plug in the 2 connectors from relay...do this on the drivers side.

next mount the relay and the ballast somewhere...heres where i did mine. plug in rest of wires, negative and positive, etc etc

next is the passenger side: because i have abs, i wedged it between the abs and in the frame.
IPB Image

plug positive back on...should be easy from here..heres my finished results, night pics will be on later:

I wouldn't recommend putting the ballast on the ABS module... I put mine on the verical metal support between the two headlights. Looks much more stock wink.gif

I'm oldschool HID. Been using HID for about three years now tongue.gif been there done that a lot of times.

Here is a photo of the HID cutoff. Notice the bleeding (aka alien lights) above the cutoff point.

I will be taking more pics of the cutoff soon, when I change my HID kit.

Very nice.........

Have You more photos of your car with HID??? I have some problems with xenon bulbs......... Probably they not fit very well............If i put the car in front of a wall, the left light seems good, the right light is less concetrate.............
Sorry for my english...........but, if you have more photos, probably you can help me.......... smile.gif
