Ok, so I installed mobileHID's and there was nowhere in the xD engine bay to hide these things because it's so damn packed...I like things to be clean and uncluttered...So I took off the front bumper and found some great spots to put them...Sure it takes a little longer but well worth it in the long run...

 

smart.

never thought of that.

or im just too lazy.

ha.

 

Hey Sub...how difficult was the bumber removal? I think that is a good idea for hiding the ballast. I assume its necessary to get the lamps adjusted properly too. Did you aim you light inward or just down? How much adjustment did you have?

 

Hey cuball, I have taken the bumper off atleast 3 times now and each time it gets easier and easier...Since mine has the body kit, mine may be a bit more difficult than the non-lip kit xD's but i'm not 100 % sure since i've never done a stock one...And I did not adjust my headlight beams at all and have only been flashed once...BTW, I'm running the 6k...

 

stock bumper is fairly easy. i think there's 4 grommets on top under the hood, 2 grommets and 2 "screw" grommets in the wheel well, and 2 hex head screws holding on the bottom under the splash guard.

 

I've got the 5k, I will leave them alone for starters. Thanks.

You have pics of your car? By the looks of your Avtar...it looks sik.

What brand did you end up buying? did you go with a Hi/Lo set of beams?
what kind of drill did you use?

 

drill? WTF would you use a drill for? theyre plug and play!

 

There is no drilling involved...As for the brand, I was sponsored by MobileHID but they no longer make HID kits for automobiles...Just order the kits from hidextra on here...Again, I like the 6K ones and I got the bi-xenon ones...Hi/low beam HID kit...

 

X 2 on the bi-xenon and HIDExtra. but I got 5K... i like my white.

 

My 6K's are bright white, not any blue, from MOBILEHID but I don't know of they are that way from HIDextra...

 

JJ

It seemed like you were having a lot of quality control issues with your HIDExtra kit. How has all of that gone?

 

did you do any headlight reconstruction to avoid scatter? or did you just say screw it.

 

the one hasn't done the sizzle thing lately, and it comes on every time, and is the same color as the other one... dunno what that spasm period was about...
