Here is the kit as it came.

After I got the front bumper off.

Where I mounted the passenger side Ballast

Mounted the Driver's side in the same place on the other side.

Pictures don't do it justice at all. Every car I ever own will have these in there from now on. There is almost no glare at all. Best $250 I ever spent.



Here is some crappy video just to show the warm up.

Umm.... I would say about 2 hours from start to finish. That is taking my time and doing a nice clean install. Everything is tucked away and hidden.

You paid 250? Did you get relays and fuses just so they aren't as harsh on the stock wiring? I paid 250 for the same K, same brand, but it came with 2 relays + 2 fuses and shipping was free off ebay. Where did you stick the igniters?

I mounted the igniters too using a drilled hole and bolt and locking nut. It did not come with fuses or relays. It should not affect the OEM wiring at all. HID actually run cooler at 35watts verses 55watt stock. I had the same kit in my GSXR 600 and never had a problem.

Thats what i thought too but someone told me that when the bulbs light up, the lights can take up to twice its wattage to power on. So i just found a kit with relays and fuses for the same price, just as a safety measure.

AHAHAHHA NICE I installed my ballasts in the same place! Great that someone took pics now and I don't have to try and describe where they were installed. Wasn't it the perfect spot!??? But in my case I used the double sided tape and zip ties. Such a better, cleaner job than going through the wheel well.

Good Job
