HID headlights installed
Permalink Closed

So this evening I installed these.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250693691391&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT

 

They couldn't have been easier. At first I was a little intimidated as there was only a wiring diagram that really did not reflect the cars wiring. I figured out once I was in front of the car with the hood up instead of only staring at the contents of the box. I was pleasantly suprised that I had to absolutely no splicing of the factory harness. Adaptors came with the kit which fit onto the end of the factory harness and then the black and red power wire fit into that.

I forgot to take a picture of the installed set up. I will do that tomorrow. Here is the difference.

Passenger side completed - driver side still stock. A big difference.

 

Both installed. I love the difference.

I wish I did it sooner.

The next thing I would like to do is LEDs throughout. That will have to wait till next year. lol, i think.....

did it come with a relay harness to draw the power from the battery? If not, I would seriously look into it. HIDs take a lot of power to start up and have seen many factory harness burn up.

 no. they did not. Oh man,  I am going to assume that I will be okay with the enclosed contents. hmm

I will stay positive judging by the reputation and history of this product. I will keep my fingers crossed. Wish me luck. biggrin

I would look for a relay harness, only a few $$ and will save you a world of hurt down the road.

 

What flavor did you get? They look like either 6000K or 8000K

That looks great Matt, and Trust me, they will be well worth it on the drive home from cruises.

Scott, the set up he has is simular to the one I have in my 01 SS, they are not the High output HID that need the extra power wire. The transformer boosts the power to the headlamps off the main head light power. I have used mine for well over a year now and haven't had any issues to the factory harness.
