Default I'm ready to install my HIDs --- POST PICS OF YOUR HID SETUPS!

Okay guys so I finally got my HIDs and I'm ready to install them.

I've never installed HIDs in a car with projectors before. Is it any different to install than a car with reflector housings? Any tips on doing this? I got 4300K for low beam and 10000K for my foglights.

Also, if you guys got pics of your HID setups, please post them! I want to see some SC's with HID setups so I can get an idea of what mine will look like when I'm done lol.

its exactly the same as doing it in a car with non projector housings. Should be very easy and simple.

Oh okay, I just didn't know if projectors where wired differently or if the bulbs where put in a weird or different way. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Keep the HID pics coming!

4300K for low beams is good choice but not fan of 10000K fogs. Mine is 4300K.

Okay guys, I just hooked up my 4300K low beams in my projectors with a relay harness and they look great. Only problem is I need to know how to align the headlights. How do you level the low AND high beam lights to make them perfectly even? (or close to it)

I noticed a leveler thing that has like a 7 or 8mm bolt on it that you can move left or right but when I do move it left or right it doesn't do anything? (Not that I notice at least) Are those leveler things that are marked L and R on each low beam headlight and high beam headlight what I use to make the low/high beams even? If so, how do I use them, like which way do I turn them and how do you get a wrench in such a tiny space lol? I could barely move the bolt with any of my tools...

Also, HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU INSTALL H3 HID FOG LIGHTS?!?!?!?!?!?! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE! I cant figure out how to get my hand back there to do the wiring and get the old bulbs out!!!!! Do I have to take the front bumper off to do this?

Also, where did you guys (that have installed HIDs in your fogs) mount your ballasts?

Wow... HID all around huh... The bumper really is quite easy to remove. I'd do it just to have more room and install things right.
