Hey guys, does anyone know how to replace the HID bulbs for JDM HID headlights? Do I need to remove the ballast with the voltage warning to gain access to the bulbs? I've searched a bit but couldn't find anything. Btw, their HB4's yea?

Also, I know that the outermost are the projectors, followed by the parkers which share the same housing as the high beam. I'm just curious what is the next, innermost one for?

Thanks guys!

The bulb isn't HB4, it's D2S

Sorry to dig up this old thread as I thought I might as well just post it here. Anyway, I tried removing the ballast with no luck yesterday. Does anyone have some pictures of what I need to remove to gain access to the bulbs? I tried searching www.team-integra.net and www.honda-tech.com as well but nothing. Can't find the JDM Integra service manual as well unfortunately.

One of my bulbs just blew and now I really need to swap it with the new ones. Thanks guys!

Not sure which went dead but hopefully its just the bulbs. If its the ballast then basically my JDM front headlights are useless unless I remove the ballasts on both sides and replace with an aftermarket one.
