Default Installing My HID's.. I Am So Lost :(

Hi guys,

Today I ventured out to my car and attempted to install my 6000K kit from Jason at discountcycle. I looked at what i was given and have no idea what I am doing. Lots of plugs.. Two ballasts and Two Lights. ANyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to mess anything up but i have no idea what im doing?

You can take a look at this thread ..
HID Retrofit Kit
And This one
HID Installation Guide

It has some pics, Ive been reading around also trying to figure out how to do this install, I should be receiving my Philips HID kit early next week and was trying to get an idea on how to install this

brendanlim also had a HID DIY and Comparsion Video at this thread(below) but the video isnt woking, I sent brendanlim a PM/Emails to see if he still has it , no luck yet though

Step 1) Buy a 6 pack of beer, nothing too cheap.

Step 2) Find a friend who's good with cars or stereos and ask him to help.

Step 3) Bribe said friend with beer purchased in step 1.

I installed mine yesterday morning for about 1.5 hours. The HID came right up. Very easy to install.

Yo Captain -

When I got my kit, i had the same questions you have now. What I did was I laid it out on a table....then try connecting the sockets (dont forget to be consistent with the polarity).

I posted my pics here:

Good luck.

Pete
