HID xenondepot install guide

[sikassdrummer]

just take out fuse 37 and you elenimate the annoying day time running lights and your high beams will last longer ,, even cars with factory hid's have regular halogens as high beams , the catch is there bright because they dont have to reflect off anything in the headlight housing

I just installed my 6000k set up from fashtek.com you should check it out and see if its the same relay you got .. I only paid 140 and got and extra set of bulbs ..My first set was 6000k and next i am going to see if 5000k is really brighter .. I also found the perfect place to install the ballast , it,s right behind the fender wells there is a flat piece of frame i just zip tied the ballast there and you cant even see it .. Plus its away from the engine heat and all and any fluids /water.. ... If you can explain how to post pics here without downloading a different format i would be more than happy to show mounting pics when i get my 5000k bulbs in .. Yea that means i am back to pulling the fender wells out of the way to install the bulbs correctley without touching the glass .. let me know what you think about the kits from fashtek.com .So far they work great there is about a 15 second heat up time for the gas to be at it,s brightest ,but i can live with that and they make silverstar,s look like crappy factory bulbs

4300 will be a lot brighter than what you have now

could someone explain the different color temps? I guess I don't understand the difference between 4300, 5000, 6000 bulbs? which will give the
"blue" color that the audi's and bmw's have and what temp will have the bright white? thanks

4300 is pure white. As the numbers get higher the numbers change more into blue and then purple.

3000 is yellow

and 4100-4300 produces the brightest visible light...

i have installed 2 previous XD kits and will be putting my new kit on my si when it arrives...

make sure you mount the ballasts/ relays/ wires etc away from any possibility of getting wet...

i would also recommend dielectric grease at the ballast and relay connections...

just did the install the bulbs went right in... not sure what the 'longer screws' were about... there was PLENTY of space in the fenders for the balasts and the relays much better than the accord or rsx... made for a very clean install ... thanks for all the tips !

Kind of new in here..found at ebay a PNP Xenon HID Conversion Kit 9006 (HB4) 4300K(chinese manufacturer) at $69 wonder if it contains the same connections as the one on xenondepot site..at the end a cheaper HID kit results the worst option? Regards

[henkabaz16]

If you really just want a cheaper alternative way, make sure you get relay harness, so it doesn’t mess up your electricity system in the long run. And aim your lights lower, so you don’t blind other drivers.

woah what? the bulbs from xenondepot arent genuine philips bulbs? can anyone confirm this? i just ordered a kit =(

Hey, I just installed mine yesturday, but its a different brand. I haven't seen anyone have the pro design Hid's yet, so I'll ask here. Mine didn't come with double sided tape, just mounting bracket, zipties and screws. I couldn't find a good place to ziptie it to, so i found an old roll of double sided tape, very similar to the ones used on door visors. I cut about 7 strips to put on the back of the balists and installed it above the splash guards behind the fender. Do you think this will hold long enough? I just zip tied the wires basically. Here is the kit i bought.. Honda Civic PRO Design HID Xenon Bulb Conversion Kit at PRO Civic

Just worried the balist will fall off, but i guess if i hear it rattling on my splash guards then i know it failed. lol, just wanted to see anyone else tried this.

if anyone is looking for a cheaper site try xenonlink.com i've never had a problem with their bulbs, they've been in for almost 2 years
