Ok guys, i have been searching this all day, and i havent been able to find it, and i also know this should be in the aero and ext forum but i think I will get a lil better response here....

I got the 8000k HID from oznium.com and i have been playing around with mounting the ballasts(which look bigger than all the others i have seen) and it seems like they only work when the ballast isnt touching any metal. Does anyone else have this problem?

I think i will have to head to wal mart and get some 3M heavy duty double sided tape and then go from there. Please, anyone with the oznium.com HIDS, where did you mount your ballasts? I was thinking of doing it right in the backof the colling fan plastic part but it is pretty damn close to the header cover that gets pretty hott!

BTW these things look great when i can get them to turn on!

 

didn't notice the problem that your having But! i originally i was going to "Velcro them to the car but the ballast are so huge! so instead of wasting the Velcro i left it on for padding and zip tied them to the "hood rim" of the car they haven't moved and don't bounce around nice and snug. though i did have to reverse my wries to get them to work pnp my ****!...so maybe my velcro paddind is preventing me from your problem.....also hows your grounding in the car??? amp installed?

 

yeah i do have an amp installed, i cant figure out WTF is wrong, i tried the padding and such and they STILL will not work! someone help!

 

UPDATED: well i finally got these bastards to work, when all else fail you should ALWAYS check ur connections... anyways, the hardest part of this whole thing is finding a proper place to mount the ballasts! I am now ballin with HIDS! night shots comin when it gets dark out!

nice turn out.

 

tight.. im still debating to get either 8000k or 10000k.. i wanna see those night shots

 

i have 8000k no my tc and it works great at night, but what i found out was when it rains pretty hard, my buddy' s 6000k has more visibility than 8000k, 10000k will def look brighter, but think about that. and also what fi found out when i was installing my hid;s were the passenger side mount goes on right beside the headlight mounts onto the metal frame and the drivers side mounts better on the battery mount...at least it works good for me

 

your right about the 6k being brighter, but wrong that the 10k will be better. 10k will be ALOT worse! The rain doesnt help with either since it reflects off of the drops and street. If they made 5k, go with those!

 

i meant on dry day 10000k will LOOK as in your looking at the car will look brighter not actually BE brighter....anyways what you said was right, 5000k or 6, i'd go with 6000k.....but your inFL~ ! go with 8000k man!!!

 

I just got done putting in my blue LED's from oznium, and was getting about to order my HIDs. I think after seeing you put them in, i will probably go ahead and order them. Was it time comsuming? because I only have so much time before i need to drive to work at night time

 

mine only too 50min - 1 hr, it was easy, plus if you get stuck on something, there r alota guys here that can help you

NIGHT SHOTS







ok after ZERO debating, i have decided these things are amazing! they are so damn bright, and i went for al lil drive at night to see if anyone flashes me, and nothing yet!

the only problem i have is that once out of about 10 times turning them on, the right one doesnt come on, but i think its just because i need to REALLY secure the wiring clips that go into the HID, but all i have to do is turn them off and then back on. I was looking all day for a good guide to do this, but you would seriously have to be a caveman(sorry for any cavemen ) to not be able to do this. The hardest part is mounting the ballasts! The best part about these is they make the whole headlight housing turn BRIGHT BLUE, which looks soooo sweet, but it doesnt show up in the picture at all. And Phil, the man at oznium.com is 110% behind his products so if you ever have a problem, shoot him an e mail and he will take care of you faster than you can snap your fingers! I will be going back to oznium.com for EVERY SINGLE LIGHTING PIECE i ever need!

if you have any questions let me know and i will hit you back!

 

looks good man, i have hid on my white also....how do you put pictures on here??? haha

 

you have to go thru an hosting website (i do putfile.com) and then you just copy the bb link that they give you and paste it in the message thing and there you go. I dont like how al the pic turn out small tho, but i guess you can click on them to make them bigger!

damn you, you just made me hijack my own thread

 

hahaha thanks man,

 

those are 8k? too purpleish to be 8k you think? i have german genesis 8k, the shine as blue as can be..

 

If you put some Silverstars in yuor fogs they'll be almost as white as your HIDs instead of the yellow they are now.

 

I dont know why they look so yellow....after experiencing these in real life, i have realized that pictures do lights NO justice!

and they are deep blue, not purple, damn you pictures!

 

they might look yellow cuz you might still have the little bulb lights hooked up with your 8000k, i took mine out after i got mine installed cuz it looked...not as white as it should be, after i got it out, it was SWEET

 

old pic last couple months .. GLARE ? yah whatever floats my boat ..
