Just need whatever HID bulb-type that the headlight uses (h1 or h3 or h7 im guessing)

They fit because that's what I have in mine. All you need is a set of 9006 HID bulbs and H4 balasts and you're good to go. Check out the link in my sig for pictures of my HID setup.

can I suggest maybe you write a how-to and take some pictures of how you did it if you can. I would be interested in doing something like this if I could get a better understanding of how. Also how much did the total project run?

I just brought the headlights and my friend had a set of HID's that came out of a Maxima. I used the ballasts and brought a set of 9006 bulbs. Wired them up and I was good to go. The Maxima used diffenet bulbs , so I couldn't used them

what is the total cost in parts for running a HID setup? I am interested in doing this but was wondering what it would run to do so.

They are like half the price they were when I bought them.

I'm going to replace mine as soon as some good high quality lights come out without the silly led's.

or.... open them up and delete the 3 LED ports with a little body work. There -- LED's all gone.

I'm not that talented and that doesn't help with the quality issues.

like the lens overlapping the fenders.....
or having to rotate the LF bulbs to clear the battery and fuse box
not to mention the overal TIGHT fitment
I had to loosen both fenders, install lights, tighten fenders then install bumper

but they look good and the Halo's are fun

if you all have had this problem, how did you fix it? thought about siliconeing it but im not sure where its leaking in from and its on the actual projector lenses too.

Munch
04-04-2005, 01:58 AM
Drill a few holes in the bottom of the headlights. It fixed my fogging problem :lalala:

J_A_Trevino
04-04-2005, 02:03 AM
thanks for the advice, i might give it a try.

windowtint

many of you with the bad fogging problems also may not have the bulbs completely seated either, allowing a lot of humid air into the housing. The side markers on the dual halos are a very tight fit and may SEEM like they are in - when in fast they can go in further THEN twist-lock into place.

on the dual halos, there is a small hole under each of the 4 projector assemblies where the halo wires exit, also allowing moist air into the housing.

either drill holes as Munch says, or just run the headlights until the heat evaporates the fogging (which is the OEM suggestion on foggy OEM headlights)

There is nothing you can do to ever 110% seal a headlight housing, just doesn't happen - and if you DID manage it, it would all be lost soon as you changed a bulb.

damn i never had that problem just a lil moisture but thats about it ....

aireck
04-05-2005, 05:54 AM
mine used to fog up but not that bad....
just a lil lower right corner on the left headlight.
switched bulbs and that went away!

Just got my new Dual Halo projectors for my xB from assembleweb and have a few questions:

What all has to be removed to install them? Bumper? Grille?

Do I need to run load redistors for the LEDs or are they already built in?

Is it better to try and seal them completely or drill the holes as others have done?

Yes you have to remove bumper and grill.

I didn't and they work fine.

I would try to seal them completely.

be careful with getting them on ebay.. i got mine and they fogged.. also, the ebayer said that they were DOT legal and there is no DOT marking on the lights at all.. look out!!

FrankenScion
05-31-2005, 06:34 PM
It doesn't matter where you get them from. They are all made by the same company.

CharzXBee
06-02-2005, 05:56 PM
so how can one company sell them for $90 and another company sell them for $400?

these lights own! do you really have to take them apart to seal them or can you just seal the seams with a little love and care? i have this thig about putting car parts in the oven :-\ makes me egey

yeah thir the same. but since their release, th prices have come down, search with a fine tooth comb to get the price you want.

i saw a set for 61.50, shipping was 45 bucks.

and all you do when you get them is reseal them and get new bulbs or HID lo beams.

Kid_bB
07-15-2005, 02:33 PM
sorry still new at this. how would i go about re-sealing them? Where is the best place to pick up some HID lights?

firesquare
07-15-2005, 04:07 PM
you can check out HIDs in the sponsored section once you hit over 50 total post. for the resealing, you can do the ovon method and get some silacone and reseal them from there. check th e gallery for people with the dual haloes. most of them resealed them. give those people a pm and ask around.

Sigh... well I just got my projectors and I put em' in and everything but they just don't look fit... as in the bumper seems to be sinking down some and around the headlight housing it just doesn't seem snug.. is this with everyone? Just doesn't look right to me. Oh and will the Luminic bulbs be fine to replace them with?
Thanks

FrankenScion

Luminics or Silverstars.

And, yes the fitment is an issue with most people.
