playboyman07- yep, you can swap the color temps to another color in the future or even with a diff bulb type (say if you swap ballasts into a new car) by simply buying bulbs.

t_urbo c_charged: sent you a PM.

 

I got the kit but help me understand what these plugs are for.

 

agent99 - pm'd you back bud. btw - love the sig. hahahaha,
jk.

 

Well I got to hand it to MobileHID.com's customer service.

The new generations kit doesn't need to use the harness on my 09 tc and that's where I got confused and called their corp office. Cant remember who returned my call but he was great!! He talked to my engineer friend and the kit went in like butter!!

Now, the ugly 194 city light is ruining my light show. Ugly yellow bulb!! Need suggestions on what I can replace it with that will compliment my 6k MobileHID kit.

As for MobileHID, I'm going to their site and you can find me on their testimonial list!! Thanks fellas!

 

got your e-mail, thanks for the testimonial. pm'd you.

 

I know- I need to put the phone up and use a real camera. I left the "squirrel finder" tabs in because I didnt want to take my lenses apart and I'd like to have a little light up here where the hwy signs are.

 

hey cliff.. remember me.. haha.. um i think its the ballast,, the bulb is still flickering like crazy.. so i'll pm you the address for a ballast now.

 

i made an order last week for a set of the hid for my 09 xb i was wondering what the status is on it? when i check the tracking number it doesnt show that its been shipped.

 

What does it say? If its USPS, it wont say much. They usually don't acknowledge its been shipped until its well on its way.

 

thats pretty much what its saying haha. yes its usps. just want to make sure its shipped or on the way. i seem to have had bad luck with ordering stuff online.

 

Yeah I think they are out of Phoenix so the USPS site will probably say "processed at our facility in Phoenix" but nothing else. If that's the case, give it a couple days.

 

actually it doesnt even say that. it just says that they were electronically notified by the shipper. i will wait a couple of days and see what happens.

 

hey dude ^

 

hey dude?

Wow, i must say that these digital ballasts make installation a snap (literally). All i did was insert the HID bulb into the lamp socket, connect the two plugs from the bulb to the ballast, plug the ballast into the OEM headlight power plug, and then find a nice home to mount the ballast. I felt a lil uneasy about how lil time it took (15 mins or so). It took me a long time to decide where to mount the ballasts though.

I used Scotch indoor/outdoor double-sided mounting tape and they seemed to be holding up like a champ. (i'll post pics later i suppose...) I still feel funny not using the relay harness that was provided. Cliff, are you sure we don't need to use it with the digital ballasts?? I thought your biggest sales pitch was including that relay harness with your kit.

Where the ballast connects to the factory light power plug, i needed to switch the polarity for it to work. So it no longer locks securely into the factory plug. Is it normal for me to have to switch the polarity of the plug? Won't the power plug connection become loose after a while since it's not locked together? What can i do to make sure the ballast power plug doesn't become loose from the factory plug??

Thanks guys!

 

So did you use the prongs that I posted above? Thats what I did and we just electrical taped them in to secure the connection. Works like a charm.

 

HMm..i can't tell what those prongs in your pic is for..it's a bit blurry... Did they come with a 9006 kit?

 

My 6K HIDs have been running great since i installed them on Monday! No flickering or any problems so far. I've been driving at night with these babies in and have not gotten flashed yet.

So the stock 2005 tC lamp housings do pretty well for HID in terms of limiting the glare. I even (nervously) drove behind an Edison cop and was driving opposite an NYC cop with them on at night...lol!

 

the 9006 kits don't need prongs, they can direct connect to the factory plug.

the h11 kits on the other hand have spade connectors but that'll change since new plugs were created for the purpose of getting them to fit better.

azptc - i had to swtich the polarity on my fogs and high beams too. worked fine for the low beams. dunno why but it works fine with the plug turned around, no biggie.

agent99 - looks good man!

pm'd the rest of you guys.

Been tinkering with a bunch of ballasts lately...

Here are some pics if you were ever curious about what they look like inside.

For those who were wondering, they're NOT all the same.

 

Glad I am not the only one that had the "step" cutoff shift drastically to the right. I was thinking it might be due to my "other" brand name HID's.
