[benzofanatic]

pics of install any chance?

[kevinzorz]

sorry for the cellphone pictures




These are all the pics I have for now.
I can do a write-up on how to install w/ some pics if you need me to. Installation was pretty easy, plug and play like Remolexi said, but with one exception, you would need to drill a 1" hole on the lamp covers so that the wires can pass through. I'll get some pics so you can see what i mean.

ya pics & write up would be great! (if its not to much trouble, Thanks!)

[kevinzorz]

*These pictures were taken after I have already installed the HIDs.

How to install HIDs

Step 1: Remove the rear cap from the housing. Its that big round black thing with the wires sticking out of it (pretend there are no wires sticking out of it for now) press that tab on the top and it should come right out. Place aside.


step 2: Remove your old bulbs: start by unplugging the electrical source from your old bulbs. Do this by wiggling it left and right until it becomes loose.

the electrical source im talking about is the thing with the brown and yellowwires in my hand.

After that is out, release the old bulbs by undo-ing the clip that holds them in.


push them in, and left. Then pull the bulbs out, save these just in case your HIDs go out.

Step 3:
-Grab your HID bulb and gently remove the cover. The bulbs may seem to be stuck inside the cover, but just give them a gently twist and they'll come loose.
-GENTLY insert your HID bulb into housing. Be very careful not bang the bulb against anything.
*Make sure the part of the HID bulb with the tab-sticking-out is pointed up

Now bend the wires of your HID bulb so that your original bulb clips can fit over them.



Connect the red prong to the yellow wire side, and the black prong the to brown wire side.



Drill a 1" hole through the center of the cap so that the wires can pass through. (I bought a 1" drill bit from Homedepot just for this purpose), pass the wires through far enough so that round rubber seals cover the hole. This may need a little persuasion.



Now all you need to do is connect the wires the the ballast. Find somewhere to mount the ballast first. The connections are really simple, just plug in what fits.


!!!! now you are finished with 1 side, now all you gotta do is the other side.

after you are finished, you can turn on your lights and gaze

wow thanks!
the info and pics really help. i hope to order these soon and get them in. i like how bright they are, way better than halogen!

[RemoLexi]

im just about to order my second set for my fogs ... 12,000K

[DRM]

have you got the lights directed down? it doesn't look like they have much range? looks like 10 meters?

[kevinzorz]

yeah, I pointed them lower because I was afraid that I was blinding other people

[svt ricco]

hey remo, are those stronger than the stock xenons i have? thanks in advance

[svt ricco]

can i use it in my fog lamps?

[RemoLexi]

I wouldnt know ... I dont own a C43 in reality (only in my dream I do)

EDIT: ya im sure you can use it in the fogs, just tell them what bulb type and color you want.
