lol yeahh i'm pretty sure thats it. I'm on ehs all male, its our first year but we arnt too bad. Beat west co back in dec at our first comp but... that was the first comp of like preseason so both us were far from clean etc.

What years were you on west co ? Our coach was on valencia for 3 years and dances with chill factor and TM. I myself am a nub but... dancing is fun fsho haha.

Practicing like every day for next weeks comp... our routine is basically all new except for one song and we only have 3 weeks to clean haha. I hope west co has a sick small to go against us.

tsinoy · 03-19-2008, 12:36 AM

Nahh guys... thanks for offering your services but i don't want to bother you.
Its hard coz I don't know much about cars and just starting to learn. :)
That's why ill just rather pay than break something in my car. hahha!

**Izzy** · 03-19-2008, 12:37 AM

Pfft, that's why you do it yourself man. It's fun to learn.

Seriously, if you're free for a couple hours on Sunday, I'm down to help out.

tsinoy · 03-19-2008, 12:38 AM

mfinlay04 · 03-19-2008, 12:10 PM

What HID kit did you buy? Is it PnP? or do you have to slice into the harness?

**Izzy** · 03-19-2008, 02:09 PM

Pfft, get me a quick lunch at McDonalds or some Lechon and I'm good. I'll be HELPING, YOU'LL be doing the install.

It's the best way to learn.

This also depends on how "hardcore" you want to do the install. I suggest taking off the bumper and taking off the headlights because it's fun.

jethroooo · 03-21-2008, 05:15 PM

hahah nice one izzy.

speaking of HIDS i want to get some for my Fa5.do you know how much is it? (question to izzy)

**Izzy** · 03-21-2008, 05:24 PM

Actually, I really do mean taking off the bumper. It's easier to hide the ballasts. I also mean it when I meant he'll be doing the bulk of the work, but I'd be there to guide him.

I've taken off my bumper myself a total of four times, and find it only takes 10 minutes, if that of your time. Totally worth doing, as you get more places to look at as far as stashing the ballasts some place.

I personally prefer XenonDepot, but they're pricey, but their customer service is very good. But, just check eBay for 9006 HIDs, they shouldn't cost more than 200-ish for the Plug and Play stuff.

08civiclx · 03-21-2008, 06:25 PM

Hey Izzy, I've been looking for HID's too and was looking at Xenon Depot. If you buy the kit from them what all do you still need to get? I don't know much about it but I am willing to do all the work if someone can tell me how. How long does installing them take? Thanks man
