quick question regarding installing the kit .. i have a 2000 B5 and do you have to remove the headlights from the car to install it?? planning on getting the 6K kit. tx =)

 

no.

 

simple enough. thanks

i saw a post on AW that the guy did so, so i was just wondering.

 

no problem.

I'm sure it'd be easier to install them with the headlights out, but it isn't overly difficult with them in place either. the only thing you'll have to pull out of the car (other than the existing headlight bulbs, obviously) is the plastic dust caps which cover the hole in the back of the light that the bulb goes into. you'll have to remove these dust caps so that you can drill a bigass hole in them to run the wires for the HID bulb through the cap.

 

oh ok. yea one of my dust cap for some reason was missing .. so i got one from the dealer but never got around to puttin it on cause one of the clips is stuck somehow and i think in order to get it out, i have to take that one headlight out.

where did you end up placing the ballast?

 

Most people put it under the headlight, which means you'll have to remove the headlight. I don't see whats the big deal about, its only 3 torx screws.

 

yea the 2 screws is easy just that one really deep one is harder to get to unless you have the right tool .. which i would need

 

You'll need a 1/4" six inch extention and a 1/4" T-30 bit to remove thre rear screw.

 

personally I'd take the headlamps off the vehicle so i could mount the ballast on the bottom.... i believe on your car there is an indention for the ballast....and Velcro works great to mount them

p.s. buy the tools necessary to work on your car!
