ordered my HIDs and should be here today, yesterday i went shopping, got myself a new alpine deck, 12" polk audio subwoofer, 760W pioneer amp, for 70 bucks, a capacitor, and a wiring harness.

i've got a lot of stuff to do today, and i'm very excited about it

wish me luck!

 

Good luck man.

What HID kit did you end up going with?

"alpine deck, 12" polk audio subwoofer, 760W pioneer amp"
you got all that for $70?

 

i bought the DDM 35W 6000k. they are extremely easy to install! i was impressed.

and no i didn't get all of that for 70 bucks, just the amp, which i thought was a good deal.

i bought the deck for 150,sub for 90, wires 25, and a free box from a friend.

how do i remove the trim around the factory radio?! does anybody know?

 

You have to remove the radio first, there are 4 screws holding the trim on.

Remove those 4 screws and then gently pop the trim off. I like to start at the top and work my way around counter clockwise.

 

nevermind i guess i don't have to do that i got it out.

so do i cut the plastic connectors off of the wires, then solder the wires from the new deck to the wires from the old one? or is there a kit i need to buy?

this is turning into a major headache!

DIY with pictures would be awesome
thanks

 

Wish I could help you out more, but I bought mine with an aftermarket radio already installed.

Found this though: https://www.audiforums.com/forum/diy-do-yourself-55/2000-a4-s4-aftermarket-h-u-install-tutorial-matt-27421/

 

thanks, i'm just going to buy the adaptor, and wiring harness from crutchfield. i'm not gonna go pissin around and cutting wires and saying oh ****, that's the wrong one and then lose all hopes lol
