My how to: install HID for JDM Projectors, my experience installing HID Options

[LewFX]

Special thanks goes to first my gf (Becky) who bought these for my birthday..and everyones favorite: John aka Myzneyes and Chanh

Disconnect the positive terminal...

First was getting the bulbs in:
have the blue piece go in the side slot. bulb slides in easy.


save your plastic washer that comes with the bulb and this is why...without this your bulb isnt secure but i used the plastic washer and cut it into a C shape:


next put washer behind bulb harness like this:


should be nice and secure like this:


next hook up the connectors thats with the relay, use the existing H1 harness (pop off the exisitng rubber piece) and plug in the 2 connectors from relay...do this on the drivers side.

next mount the relay and the ballast somewhere...heres where i did mine. plug in rest of wires, negative and positive, etc etc



next is the passenger side: because i have abs, i wedged it between the abs and in the frame.


plug positive back on...should be easy from here..heres my finished results, night pics will be on later:

Got these installed today. Still waiting for my fingers to thaw out but hey, it's done and over with.

Verdict: They will work but require slight modification to the HID bulb. H1 bulbs have small tabs on them to align the bulb. H1 HID bulbs have these too, but the design of our headlight housing allow the bulb to only go in one way, meaning the tab on the HID bulb won't line up where it's supposed to.

Note the tab at the base of the bulb. There's one on each side. These must be removed.





I had to continue working to take the tabs off after I took that picture. They need to be completely flat.

After you have removed those tabs, the X tabs need to be aligned vertically on the bulb. It's a tight working space but after some careful maneuvering, you can get the bulb and adapter fitted into place and get everything put back together.

Crappy picture but if you stare at it long enough, you can start to see everything.



I actually found this install easier than trying to hold the plastic C rings in place as the original how-to shows. Well worth the $7 I spent, and these can be found for as little as $4 shipped.
