My Civics HID DIY Installation - Page 36

***GETxERxDONE*** · 11-12-2007, 06:43 PM

i was wondering because the lexan i replaced the glass with melted. and people with hids in the fogs have no problem. im guessing its atleast 10 degrees difference

tda1337 · 11-12-2007, 09:37 PM

i got no idea wat lexan is, but it sounds like cheap junk to me lol
is that the ionized plastic? really useless if u have 3000k HIDs
or are the bulbs ur using more than 55W?

So occasionally when I turn my headlights on only one will come on. Then when I realize only one is on I turn my lights off and then back on and there both on. So far its done it once on both the passenger side and drivers side. I have had my kit for about 5 months now. Any suggestions

tda1337 · 11-13-2007, 12:38 PM

i suggest u unplug them lol

jackolee · 11-13-2007, 12:56 PM

lol i didnt tighten the power wire down so everytime i hit a hard bump or too a hard turn one of the lights would flicker off... so check if everthing is still tight

Firestrife · 11-13-2007, 12:57 PM

so for an easier bulb installation. baby oil the ring seatings?

tda1337 · 11-13-2007, 01:23 PM

i would suggest using something other than baby oil, but yes fire lol

Firestrife · 11-13-2007, 01:44 PM

silicone lubricant sounds good?

tda1337 · 11-13-2007, 01:45 PM

sounds MUCH better :-P

it may just be some sort of grounding problem... try to ground the ballast somehow and see if the noise goes away

i am ordering from 9898 Car China but with 240 different kits to choose from i have no idea which to order. i want 6000k and i also know that for the low beams i need 9006 bulbs. can someone help please?

tda1337 · 11-14-2007, 11:11 AM

Ok thats all u need to know, just make sure its the ebay one that is like 89.99 (thats for 35W ones)
those are the ones that have been around a while and everyone uses, 50W is more likely to get u stopped

Order the 35W 6000K kit and specify in the PayPal notes that you require 9006 bulbs.
