I PM'd him Saturday, and he hasn't gotten back to me. Funny how easy this is, and his so called "friend" had to charge him $120!?

fakebun -

I'm coming out this weekend and I happen to know *a little bit* about HID lights. I'll be glad to show you what needs to hook up to where and what not.

In fact, here's a video I created for the NSX community on how to cleanly drill through the plastic dust caps that they have on their headlight housings.

"buy the grommets"? Dude - I have like A MILLION BAJILLION laying around. I'll just bring you a few this weekend man so don't worry about it man.

All you need is a power drill and a 1" drill bit like in my video. You can DEFINITELY do this yourself. I'd bring the power drill with me but I'm sure you can find one locally or have a fellow CL member locally lend you his or hers.

Just watch the video over and over again until you feel confident you can do it.

If you have any questions - 602.300.7153.
