This is an easy install. I did this in about 30 mins.

1. Turn your headlights on.
2. Turn the switch down one notch for the DRLs.
3. Now unplug the positive battery cable.
4. Remove the housing around the headlights.

5. Plug the wires in on your kit so it looks like this:

6. Make sure positive is to positive and negative to negative (it says on the side of the connection)
7. And this:


8. Locate the stock fog light.
9. Twist it out and put the old bulb to the side.
10. Carefullly insert the HID bulb into the fog light socket. Don't touch the bulb with your fingers.
11.On the HID setup there are two connectors that you will see.
12. Connect these inside the stock fog light plug.
13. Make sure positive goes to positive and negative to negative. I believe the positive was purple?




You will notice the connection is exposed. I used electrical tape to avoid any problems later with this.

Now you just need to find a place to mount the ballast. Clean the area and mount it there. I used double sided tape because I don't like drilling holes on my car. I chose the area right above the bumper lights. Probably not the best spot, but time will tell if it holds up.



That's all.

Somes tips:
1. I would do one side at a time and check to make sure it works before mounting the ballast. I learned this from messing up once.
2. Unplug the negative cable from the battery.
3. Start the car before turning the lights on. I have heard of these things killing batteries.
4. You might have to jack the car up if you have big arms. Mine are skinny and it was still hard to connect the stock fog light connection. Space was tight.
5. You might have to change your fog light fuse to a 20. I didn't do it and mine works fine.

With one HID and one OEM halogen:



Both Fogs:

 

Looks good.... I have sets ordered for our two vettes. Can't wait to get them and installed so we can see at night.

 

Cool - Thanks for the write-up/pics Jhonathan_W, I appreciate it - and the kit as well.

C-Ya around

 

Looks great.
what color temp are they?

 

One of the first mods I did and one of the best.

 

You want some REAL light on the road at night, put a couple of those in the headlights..... You will be amazed. Probably will have to re-aim them down and in a bit.

I've had them in headlights and fogs for well over a year and never been 'flashed' by an oncoming car at night. You will curse yourself for spending good money after bad on any other lighting but HID bulbs on headlights.

There have been several very long threads on here and many people have done it.

 

Where did you buy this kit, and how much did it cost?

 

PM me for kits.

 

6000k is the temp.

 

you do know you can remove the rubber seal and the bottom of the plastic container correct?

 

Already did that. Yes I know you can take the rubber and plastic off. I did a quick install before going to the gym to help everyone out that has the kit I have.

 

Nice meeting you. Post pics when you complete the install.

 

would you be so kind as to post output pics (down road and against wall)?

 

I didn't take any down the road. I have one against a wall kind of. I also have some nice shots of the fogs and headlights, but my camera needs to charge.

 

good job.

i don't think they're 6000k though, regardless of what the box they came in says.

 

They do look a bit bluer than 6000k.

George: I got my 55 watt 6000k fogs installed and I hear I have 55 watt 6000k low beams waiting on me at home so I'll get you some pics sometime before the weekend.
I must say, around town any time of night the foglights are plenty, but on unlit Texas highways and the speeds that go along with them, I find that the headlights are still needed. That's just me though! The lights are everything that I expected, although it took me a month to get them.

 

This has been discussed many times but I think it's a waste of time and money to put HIDs in the stock headlight housing, they weren't designed for them. Do it right and get projectors and you'll really be amazed!

 

... so don't put them in YOUR car!
The HID light kit is an improvement over stock, so how exactly is it a waste of time and money?
No one here is comparing these low beam kits to projector low beams.

 

Ditto. I have the HID and I have to say I would much rather spend $200 or so on headlights that I use sometimes than around $900 on projectors that I use sometimes. It's your money though and God bless America, you can spend it any way you choose.

Nice.
