HID Kit Install 56K BEWARE!!, HID's from culpable Options

[CelicaGT04]

Hey guys as you all know we recently had a GB for JLM HIDS. I got my package today and installed them. Here is my Install, (just remember that eveyones install will be at their own risk and opinions)

First off, you will want to unplug the battery.


Next you will want to remove your stock bulbs and set them aside in case you somehow mess up the HIDs or want to use them later.




Then youll want to get the HID ready for install, you will want to pull it out of the protective plastic covering. BE EXTEMELY CAREFUL TO NOT TOUCH THE BULB.



Once the bulb is in place and in socket you can prematurely mount the Ballast where you want. (my bulbs were a little hard to get in so be careful and have patience)


Next connect the bulb wires to the ballast sockets. Make sure they snap conpletely.


After you have all the ballast connected on both sides (RH, and LH) you will need to run the resistance wires to your liking. I ran mine from the left bulb above the engine by the stock strut bar.


You will want to connect the ground wire to a suitable spot in your engine bay. (sorry didnt think i needed a pic of this step. Also the fuse has red wire coming out that needs to be connected to the positive pole of your battery. (Make sure it is connected to the battery if not, the HID's will not work.)

After you have everything installed and connected, double check to make sure everything is how you want and secure the ballast with the sticky tape included and use zipties if necessary.

Then clean up and turn on the lights, they may flicker at first but will soon warm up.


I am extremely happy with the results.

ENJOY!!

ballast....

mishandling in shippin can poss cause that so im told, my one did that, not using them right now so i dont know how the other one is holding up, but it was working perfectly when i had it in ... the blinking when you first turn them on at idle - you can just rev it to give it some mroe juice and it should stop the blinking

also blinking is not good for hid bulbs, and if you touched them or got anytype of moisture or oilyness on them it may cause the bulb to overheat and blow.. if the bulbs are clear and no cracks then id think it was the ballast - try reading up on the system on wikki if ya have nothing better to do if for nothing else gives you an idea of what all is goin on up there in them headlights
