### Pictures Of My Hid's!! ###

**RickT** · 10-30-2006, 06:01 PM

Guys,

just reporting in to let you know i have just spent the last 3 hours in the garage fitting my HID's i got off ebay! 6000k,

they look wicked!!

i have only drove with them for 10 mins so far so i will give you an update once got a few miles done with them..

the fitting part was easy... ie just plug them in etc....

The hardest part was finding a good place to mount the ballests.. i mounted the front right one under the headlight fitting, and the left one up by the power steering fulid.

Half way through after doing the right side, i refitting the air intake and thought i would drop the bonnet to look at it compared to the other.. it looked miles better...

THEN i went to open the bonnet and i had knocked the bonnet cable realse out of the holder!!!! so the bonnet cable was not connected to anything!!!i pulled it and got fresh air!! i thought.......... you know what i thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10:30pm!!

right... car on the ramp.... under tray off... reaching up into the bonnet and managed to get the cable back in the to release bracket some how!!! working blind!!! and jobs a good one!! (could of done without that!!)

all in all good job done and look forward to driving home tommrrow night from work!!

Cheers

nice 1 Rick was wondering when someone would take a real dip into this headlight malarky,did the pack come with full instructions for owners like myself who always manage to mess things up even on minor tasks lol

**RickT** · 11-02-2006, 03:28 PM

yes... pretty simple... connect a lead to your exising H7 power lead, then it goes to the ballest, then the ballest to the new HID.. simple..

hardest bit is finding somewhere to mount the ballest..
