hids fitted

[belly]

i finally got round to fitting my hid kit today after having sit in the garage for a couple of weeks well wow very impressed i got a hids for you proplus h4 6000k kit nice bit of kit all plug and play and very simple now it should only take about an hour to do! but i like everything looking factory neat and tidy and hidden so i took the bumper off and headlights out to fit the ballasts securely and run the wiring underneath and neat i was suprised how easy it all was so ive taken lots of pics if anyone is intrested i will try and get them on here

I was thinking about it but was not sure if the kit fitted neat and tidy. Would love to see your pics.

Has it made much difference to the distance of the dipped beam as I find mine a bit short?

[belly]

i thought it did but then realised i still had the adjusters on no:4 (bit heavy on fri )after i put it back no difference just brighter i will try and figure the pics out mpuk did my avatar for me i couldnt even do that

[belly]

oh yeh forgot to say plenty of room behind the bumper for a bigger intercooler no i musnt its for work

[Refined Detail]

Yep I'm for one, very interested in pics please!!!

You seem to do all the mods I'm considering

[belly]

hope fully some pics


the kit

h4 hid bulb

to do it properly i had to take the headlights out which ment stripping the front off

with the lights out! it niggled me being dirty

so gave it a bufty also

back of standard headlight

you have to drill a hole in the cap to allow the wiring through this is the only parts that needed drilling so i didnt mind as they can be replaced if needs be, the hole needed to be large enough to allow the connector which connects to the factory connector! the one which normally goes onto the bulb, the kit one is basically the same but a male end,and yes i know im a bit peed off with the hole on that one as its not exactly central typically the other one is but no piccie

then the bulb slots in place and the wiring connections all fit in the headlight

then this is the back of the headlight with the connections inside and cap on ,the leads that come out are for the ballast pack and a power switch this switch is stuck onto the back off the headlight and the lead out of that which you can see loose is plugged into the ballast pack when in place, i did this after it was all back on the van to give a nice tidy cable layout ive mounted the ballast packs on the inner wing with the sticky pads supplied i was weary of them to be honest but there stickyer than a big sticky thing thats all the pics ive got at the mo due to it pissing down whilst finishing off so i will get some more of the ballasts in situ

[belly]

and where ive run the cable to the ballast pack, in pic five you can see the hole below the headlights thats where ive run the cable through and up to the ballasts if you look under the bonnet it really is hard to spot now and is all dry secure plus no chaffing anywhere i will also get some pics of the lights on at night for you to see the difference, i must say i was really impressed with just how easy it was the kit was well made and all plug and play

I removed the terminals from the connector so that I could make a smaller hole in the light cover and then use a grommit to seal it with, pass the wires/terminals through the grommit and click them back into the connector.

good tip i didnt think of that im gonna have to get some new caps and upgrade it now

[Refined Detail]

Thanks mate for the pics. Where's your intercooler cover? Does that come off with the bumper?

Any pics of them in the dark? Been flashed at all yet?

[Icurus]

It was a tight squeeze getting some of the other connectors through the grommit, but its possible

I'll try and get some pics tomorrow.

Fitted some of these to my connect, love them! big difference.
while i was on took the lights completely to bits and painted the inner cowls grey to match the arches and grill.

Paintworx - Spotted your lights - look the nuts. Was it an oven jobby to split them or do they unclip? Not looked yet lol.

[Paintworx]

Warmed them up for a couple of hours infront of the office radiator, then alot of patience to tease the lens off without cracking the lens or the back.

yeh i noticed your lights too paintworx they do look good i think the silver rs connect of chorley street has done the same refined detail i took off the intercooler cover to get the grill off to take the bumper off to get the lights off phew not had anybody flashing or trouble with glare sorry not had chance to get any night shots yet when i work all wknd i wont start to early or finish too late to make up for it but hey back to normal tommorrow so will try and get some pics in the dark
