Member Contributer Smola67 Posted November 27, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2007 Got home from work and had to get them in. Got them from ebay for $89 shipped. Ended up getting the H4 High and low beam set up. The high beam is just a regular bulb which puts out a bunch of spread out higher pointing light. These are very bright and are much brighter than the picture. The actual HID is the low beam bulb which is directed lower and are super bright. Much brighter than my silverstars ever were. These came from Japan I think and arrived in perfect condition. I was afraid they may have been broke when I shook the box and I heard things that moved. I was pleased to see that everything was packaged in foam and the 2 brackets that I did not use were hitting each other and nothing else. I used the same mounting points for the ballasts that everyone else has been using. Zip ties are my friend. :thumbsup: One hour and fifteen minutes, one beer and one mixed drink later and I am very happy with the result of the HID's. No ride test yet but I am very happy with my blinding HID's so far. On with the pics.

SEBSPEED Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Wow! Nice, I was just looking at those yesterday too... please keep us posted on how well they hold up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 nicely done. I'd love to see the light pattern they throw forward - say against a wall. I miss the HID's I had in my Maxima, they were the best lights I've ever driven with. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MtnRider Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Which seller did you get these from? Sounds like a great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Looks good. I wanted to fit HID to my third gen but can't find a spot to fit the ballasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AzizaVFR Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Now that you have the low beams covered, you should think about a second set of lamps for high. It is the only way to go. Go fast at night that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Smola67 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 4, 2007 Sorry I have had no updates lately. I finally took some new pics put have not taken the bike out to get any pics yet. Here are some pics of the wiring and the ballast mounting spots. Also took some pics of some body panel clips I get from the auto parts store for $1.77 for two.

Get a VTEC! :goofy: Only half joking, we get four bulbs to mod! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
