Anyone interested in pics of HID install........

takemorepills · 09-12-02, 01:38 AM

Here are my pics of today's HID install. Some pics suck, and some are good. I had the PIAA Platinums, and now I have SPW 7500K. Of course, there is no comparison between the two. SPW seems to be a very high quality kit. I am real happy with it. At night, the lights are very blue and extremely bright. WOO HOOO!

Sweet. They even look much brighter from the pictures... Since I am broke at the moment I can't afford HIDs!

On a side note, I was wondering if you could give me instructions (or point me in a direction) on removing my front bumper. Mine is alightly mis-aligned and I want to fix it desperately!

What year you have?? And where is it mis-aligned?

Seasick? Why did you take off the bumper to install the HIDs?
When I installed mine, I left the bumpers on. The pictures look really nice, can you take some night pics too?

Oh and make sure you post the pictures in the "HID owners check in" thread

Very nice! How long did the whole production take? And, do you absolutely have to remove the bumper?

takemorepills · 09-12-02, 12:30 PM

A little less than 2 hours. I removed the bumper because I felt that running the wires along stock wiring and installing the relays there was very important. I just wish the power wiring was a little cleaner, but I have so many electrical accessories now.......

Jason how long did it actually take for the bumper to come off? and do i see yellow fogs out of your headlight assembly??????

5 mins for my bumper, probably 10-15 mins for yours. I have yellow Show-Off brand 9005 bulbs, they make my housing look yellow.
