Quick Kouki Front Bumper/Headlight Question??

[Buck01]

Hey Nico just got a couple questions, im doin a Kouki conversion on my 96 240sx and was wondering do i need the styrofoam padding that goes between the bumper reinforcment and front bumper? And my second question, Does the Kouki headlights easy to install hids cuz im planning on doin that instead of just buying regular bulbs...Thanks Nico

Don't really know about the foam, but hids will be the same as most cars. If you have done it before no worries, if not most directions are stright foward. Also remember to splice the side refector bulbs to the jdn turn signal in order for them to work/fit.

I took the foam off. Not needed.

oh I see, then no you wont have to do it for the usdm front bumper. I actually am really close in miami gardens. Usually spend most of my day between pines and griffin. Local 240sx meet is around the Starbucks on shedrian and flamingo. Haven't been to it in a while cause of school tho...

[Buck01]

Oh that's cool, When is the 240sx meets like wensday? Yeah i go to BC so i dont really be goin to 27 and stuff that much, and plus my car is in the shop

[Dittoz7]

[Buck01]

Ok cool, It's about time i found a spot for 240s cuz down here dem dam hondas takin over...but I'll probley see you out there some time when my car is done, and its at the starbucks right?

[Dittoz7]

Yea, not directly in front of it, more like the parking spots 50ft to the right of it.

I got to sheridan, weston and miramar campus. Guessing you go to south/central?

[Buck01]

Yeah I'm mostly at central campus and I got 1 class a south but i stay like 3mins away from south campus.

the hid's are pretty easy, but doing it on the zenki harness is a lil different. the low beam for the zenki uses a dual filament bulb (meaning that it has high and low) and the kouki has a single filament so it just stays on while the high beam is on.

now when you install hid's in the zenki harness, when you hit the high beam, the low beam will shut off. (this is bad for hid's because they are dim for a sec when you first turn them on) you will have to wire in a relay taking the high beam wire and converting it to a low beam basically.

[Buck01]

Ohh i see, very good to know motoman, any tips on how to do that cuz i would like to run them both at the same time with yellow in the inners and hids on the low beam (outter) if you get what i'm sayin ..if thats even possible?
