Need help on my HID's

Nocturnal2k1 · 07-29-2007, 05:59 PM

anyone know if the G35 hid's would be a good idea to put in my car??? Got some at a good price for my new si if not I will put them in my bubble??

they wont fit. g35 uses d2s bulbs and you need 9006 base type bulbs.

You would have to retrofit the projector into the headlight housing of your car, using the projectors of the G35 (assuming they fit, I don't know...). You would then have to construct a harness and then buy a D2S ballast to power the projector up.

DIY TSX Retro how to..

What do you mean by HIDs?

Simply the ballasts and bulbs? If so, you can always get the rebased 9006 D2S bulbs, and cut/splice the power wire to make it work.

If you want a retrofit, I am sure you could make the G35 work; and you would once again need to splice/solder to make the bixenons and the ballasts to work. If you are interested, you can PM us, and I can make you a pnp wire harness for either application.

However, I don't carry 9006 based d2s bulbs; if that's the route you want to go. Thus, you would need a pair...hit up XenonDepot, the HID kit vendor for this site, and see if they got any for sale.

Are you willing to pay for quality ballasts and bulbs? XenonDepot is a sponsor on these boards and they carry Philips branded ballasts and bulbs. In the case your components do fail, you will be backed by a reputable company that is located in North America . They also carry a Japanese line up "Xtreme HID" kit that is substantially cheaper than the Philips kit. Either way, they're great products. Their website is http://www.xenondepot.com/. I've noticed they've been out of 9006 Philip kits for a while now. If you were really interested in getting them, you could PM them on these boards. Their username is XenonDepot.

I'd go for 4,300K or 5,000K. You see people going 5,000-6,000K because they want that hinge of blue that OEM projectors give off when you look at the colour band.

All these kits are plug and play. Only downfall is the glare you'll get.
