install them now.

how much wattage does your have and color temp and what is the brand name?

italianbuca · 02-09-2009, 09:39 PM

just do it in the garage, drivers side u can do through the engine bay, and the passenger side u cut the wheel and go through the wheel fender lining.

just make sure u don't get the bulbs wet from the rain or touch the glass itself.

Now, theres no point in waiting. Besides you could go driving in the rain to see the difference between stock and HID

**obert** · 02-09-2009, 11:17 PM

DO IT,,,,,DO IT NOW.

derek1324 · 02-09-2009, 11:32 PM

do it!

ct20 · 02-10-2009, 05:02 PM

Yep...I though that is what a garage was for...
Installed my HID's (5000K) in my garage yesterday...
Took me about 45 minutes, but I had never installed any kind of HID's before.

vtecbr0 · 02-10-2009, 08:14 PM

i would install them NOW but my brother will get mad at me if I install them without his help...

ct20 · 02-10-2009, 08:21 PM

Is it your car and did you pay for the HID's?
If yes to both of these questions, proceed with installation.
If it is his car, do it anyway. If he bought you the HID's...hell, do it anyway....hahaha
If you haven't ever installed HID's, no worries...A caveman could it....

yes i paid for them and it's my car, but my brother thinks im a noob at life so he insists that I wait for him to help me install. The problem is he is at school/gym/out with his GF constantly and never seems to be home so IMHO i dont think i could ever get around to it for another week or week and a half.

Just do it and tell him to **** off.

VanSi07 · 02-10-2009, 09:40 PM

Haha, yeah man it's quite literally like changing a lightbulb, anyone can do it.

Do it yourself and show you're capable.

ct20 · 02-10-2009, 09:48 PM

Do what I did...lay them out in the floor in the house...make all of your connections. Leave them there, go jack up car, place on jack stands, remove two front wheels for clearance, peel back inner fender wells, remove old bulbs (I put my old bulbs in bag then in the hid box), go inside get the entire kit, do one side at a time...DONE!
Some people may say there is an easier way...but I found this took me about 45 minutes. No prior hid experience...hooked up many, many stereos back in the day...GL

jethroooo · 02-10-2009, 10:02 PM

just do it.

phoenixdrago12 · 02-10-2009, 10:37 PM

Do it! it seems like such a simple install!

DVA25 · 02-10-2009, 11:41 PM

Do it

vtecbr0 · 02-10-2009, 11:47 PM
