Default my new HIDs

ok so the install was pretty much plug and play but i had to do a litle bit of drilling. i have the one piece face lift headlights and i put an oval hole on the black cover thingy that covers the back of the low beam. then, i found a place to mount my ballasts and evrything else was plug and play.

Yep, huge improvement. I was really surprised when I got my car (it didn't have HIDs as you know) and for all the development put into the car, and how great the car is, I could not believe it came with headlights whose beam pattern is as sh*tty as it is. HIDs fix that and then some.

Congrats, you should have gone one step further and taken out the orange reflectors inside the lights. It took me about 2 hrs total to do everything. But you can go back and do that anytime.

I'm sure he will when the weather allows. He lives in the same town as me, and mine have been mounted like his are for a year now, with zero issues. When I upgrade to different lights, I'm going to mount my ballasts underneath. And the kit he got is 6000k.
