Stitches040 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Hey All ... As some of you know, I have finally installed my HID Kit for my High Beams. Here are a few Pics on my Ballast Placement. May give you some ideas ... I went with the Rikensport 993 - 6000K, 9005 Bulb, set. These match my low beams. (The 4 High Conversion is next.) ... Here is a LINK to my Low Beam Install Pics. Myself and my trusty backyard mechanic, The Waterboy put these in the other night. We took our time, and gave it some thought. We placed them on the side of the moleded plasic support for the headlights. We pulled the front nose/clip off. (It is only 6 clips) This made all the differnce for the install. We secured the ballast bracket with two self-tapping screws. Finally we used a BMFZT (Big Mother-F*cking Zip-Tie) to secure the whole unit in place, as an "Added" safety precaution. All said and done, it took us about an hour. We took our time, and did it right. Top View, with shrowd on. Pass. Side Headlight with ballast location. Pass. Side Ballast Location Pass. Side Ballast Location - Close up (Screws and ZipTie) Driver's Side Ballast Location Driver's Side - Both Ballast Locations Driver's Side Ballast Location Relief Cut - We drilled two small holes to run the wires through. Since when the Headlight Assembly (Bucket) was replaced. The wires were tightly bent. Tucked behind the grill (Pass. Side) Start up Edited June 24, 2009 by Stitches040 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggerdan11 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) looking good! I use to have HIDs in both highs and lows with the high4 kit and it was so awesome! But my HIds went out I had my high ballasts mounted behind the bumper and they got wet and rusted, i think thats why my highs went out, as for my lows that were protected from water i have no idea Edited June 26, 2009 by diggerdan11 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
