HID conversion, need experienced tech.

[Jared Noriega]

I have a 98 s14 and I recently purchased the HID conv kit. well the headlamp doesnt have a stock bulb receiver, so i cant just plug and play, if anyone can help or have heard about what to do please let me know, i can take pictures showing how the lamps are connected to current bulb, thank you.

Glass headlight conversion? IIRC stock kouki's already have glass headlights and yes pictures would help us understand your situation more clearly.

And in the back of it here where the projector is, you cant just unscrew the bulb and put a new one in. only the high beams part w/o a projector can unscrew and replace np.

How the light would normally screw in

[reodan92]

You twist the cap counter-clockwise where the projector is, then that gives you access to your current bulb. Then you just move the retaining clip, and the bulb should pop out. Also is that a H1 bulb or H3?

Ahh, i couldnt tell you, im pretty sure i grabbed the wrong kit though, when i took the current bulb out of my light it was held in by a small metal clip, and i can bet that there is nooo way to attach this new bulb in there. I may just have to run back to the speed shop and ask them for a diff kit unless you have a good idea.

[reodan92]

Most of the HID kits work for any car, its just a matter of getting the right bulb size. If you grabbed a H1 kit then you should be fine. Could you take a pic of that metal clip you were talking about? I think you might be talking about the retaining clip, it should look something like a paper clip.

Yea thats exactly what it is, but i dunno with some modification if i can fit the one i have now or what. here are the pictures.


Current bulb out of housing, notice how its completely diff from the one above.

See in that last picture how there is a Positive and Negative cord? There should be a place to hook that into the HID kit.
