I now see the lighter side of things(literally) - 56K beware!!!

This is going to be a mulitple post thread due to some stupid 4 image per post rule on the forum -- BTW to the webmaster - change that crap.

I have finally broken down and shelled out the money for HID's.
One set for Headlights, one for fogs. 9006 6000K HID's

On all pics click for full hi res image.



First I went ahead and did my fog light modification so I can now turn fogs on with my parking lights and still have full control of the switch. This was faily easy, but with matrixowners.com down, it was trial and error to get it to work.

I also disabled my Autolight feature so that the daytime running lamps and autolight feature don't activate. This was easy - clip one wire tape off and done. out of all three mods this was the easiest.

THe lights currently are my Sylvania Silverstars (before pic)

And fogs will stay on with High beams.



Now onto the install of the of the HID's. To do this, I had to remove the front bumper which was fairly easy.

Sorry for the blurry pics

This is where I mounted the drivers side. There was an existing hole that fit the HID mounting bolt. Mounted the second ballast to something I have no idea what it is.



Passanger side ballast mounting. Had to mount one behind the bumper and the other in the engine bay using the power steering bracket bolt locatation.

Now after putting everything back together and 1 freaking hour of troubleshooting (wires aren't marked so my stock plug was in backwards) here is a pic of HID fogs inside. Note to anyone who buys a 9006 kit, if they donot come on, just reverse the plug, saves you an hour of a headache



Fogs and Headlights inside

Had to wait until it got dark

Fogs



Fogs and headlights

Fogs (trust me, the camera adds a crapload more glare than there really is)



Headlights and fogs



To all I will get some better night pics once I go back to my moms - probably labor day - it is a long drive out there.

I recommend it to anyone, and now with the introduction of Bi-Xenon lights, you H4 bulb guys can have HID on your low AND high beams. For me, I have to buy another set for my high beams, damn them and the 9006 and 9005 BS. Same damn light except the 9005 has no cap on the end and a slightly different plug(which can be modified to fit a 9006 housing) Oh well.
