Happy to know you recieved your kit. Told you i would be fast .

But i would use teh double sided tape bro. Its strong so make sure you clean the area before applying.

And remember the tips i gave you.

 

Don't half ass it. Take off the front bumper cover and install the ballasts in the space provided by Mitsu under the headlamp. Fabrication of a bracket will be required. But in the end, it will look better and will be better protected from the elements.

Just my $0.02.

 

The kit should have mounting brackets for the ballast you just need to find a spot to mount them.

 

at th end of it all bro, its where you want to decided to put them. Removing your bumper to install them under the headlight is just rediculous and un nessecary. You can use the brackets but you will you will have to drill into your car.

Like i said my rec is find a nice clean hidden spot and put them their. I put them right on the side of each headlights, their is a lil space with walls on each side. so my ballast are nice and snug in the spots, safe from water and sight. my engine bay looks stock besides injen intake

 

they look fine to me for the pix.

 

what brand did you get?

i got mobilehid.com's hid kits and their shock and water proof. so it really wouldnt matter where you mount them. i am personally putting them where the oem ones belong. seems like you worked it out. what temp. did you get?

 

those are my kits.

 

Hey finest I didn't forget about you, I have to get my bumper fixed before I get the kit from you :wink:

 

ok cool

 

quick question...were you able to disable the DRL ?

 

i just leave them on still no real DRL deactivation method

 

sorry new to HIDs,
but doesnt that shortens the life of the bulb by any chance

 

no and yes, when ever you have a blub on your shorten its life right. well hids are rated at usually 3000+ hours so i use my car 1.5hrs a day so you do the math. my bulbs would go out after about 5 to 6years and i think i wouldn't really worry about it by then

 

i have mine hooked up to a relay and its connected to my parking lights, so that when i turn on my parking lights my hid's come on. i have no drl's anymore because of this and i also cant use my parking lights with out my headlights being on. thats the goods and bads.

 

i want HID's.
