LOL! I Used the brackets in the kit with my setup.

Passenger side, took the nut off the bolt supplied in the kit and bolt the bracket down as shown. 8mm is the size I think.

Hey Michelle, one of my bulbs kept flickering today and kept going out but coming back. How do I go about getting replacement bulbs under warranty?

HI, sorry for the inconvenience, swap the ballast from that flickering side to the other and see if the problem follows, if it does it could be the ballast, please send a copy of this reply to info@hidextra.com with your result and original order # and first and last name so I can get you RMA instructions. Thanks~

The plastic that encases the bulb is just a protector, please remove that plastic cover. Thanks~

Awesome thanks for the reply! How do you like them? Is the cut off bad? I hate dealing with electronics but it seems easy enough. Just have to find a nice place to "hide" the boxes.

My fiance loves the HID's on my TSX and S2000, so thought I would try and get her a kit without spending over $1,000 on a TSX or S2K setup.

Hi,

You need to first swap the ballast from that flickering side to the other side and see if the flickering follows the ballast or not, it could be the ballast and not the bulb, please send me the diagnoses result with a copy of this entire message and your order #, full name to info@hidextra.com and I can get you the next step to get it warranted. Thanks~

Michelle
