See my post near the top of this thread. HID's are easy peasy.it looks awesome! do you have a link on ebay which one you bought? and did you install it yourself? i am not very handy and i am wondering if you can install it yourself.. thank you!!
The trickiest parts of the HID install are mounting the ballasts somewhere behind the plastics, drilling the plastic covers on the headlight housings for the wiring to come through (requires a hole saw), and figuring out the polarity of the stock headlight harness connector
Because theyre H7 bubs stock, you have to to ensure you put your HID power connectors in the proper sides of your stock connector or your HIDs wont light up, its really just plug and play. Even if you get it wrong you wont hurt anything they just wont light up.
Theres no need for relay harnesses or extra fuses or anything if you stick to a 35watt HID kit.
Install HID bulb, drill cover for wires to come through, HID kit should have a grommet to seal off the hole you drilled, plug HID power leads into harness that your factory bulbs were using, mount ballast, test and youre done.
Jbluetooth has some good instructions on here for removing the plastics as that video is a little tough to follow, but dont be scared it is likely one of the easiest mods you can do.
Ive been using OPT7 slim HID kits for a long time now and for the price/warranty you cant go wrong.
Might not need to say this, but DON"T TOUCH THE BULBS with your bare fingers. The oils from your skin can cause a hot spot to develop and blow out the bulb. Use disposable gloves, kleenex, paper towel etc, if you have to touch the glass at all.you're right. I took them out carefully and looked at them again. seems to be the way they were sitting in the casing.
Thanks.
