2. Open the hood and remove one of the chassis bolt by using a spanner on the passenger side and put the iron stand there and screw the chassis bolt back in with a spanner.

Plug and play, really.

It's just the matter of finding a suitable place for the ballast.
Most would prefer a stealth install in the fenders or hidden within the bumpers, but that requires more effort.

Well. This does the job anyways.
Good write up.

There's no way you can get this install wrong!
Great write up.

Don't forget, when install the new HID bulb, DO NOT touch the globe with your fingers!

I just installed my HID kit...It took a lot of fiddling because the darned harness and bulbs would not fit like OEM. But I managed to tweak them and make them fit :) Now the lights are working fine, but I have to wait til night time to make adjustments.

Anyway, I had some help from my friend and I reckon he may have touched the bulb even though he said he didn't...whats the worst that could happen?

Bulb will blow. As your skin contains oil. oil = greater heat on the bulb = bye bye!

depends how he touched it..if its just abit shouldnt do any harm i guess.

i'm sure you'll know if it blows lol

[teaseR]

i just fitted mine on Friday... 5000K more oem look loving it!!! =)

[gheybo]

if you touch your bulbs with your hand, the life of the bulb will be shorten, not sure will it blow as the oil from your skin decrease the life of the bulbs.

congrats teaserR, hope it looks nice and bright hehe :p

[EUR003act]

Clean bulbs with Isopropyl Alcohol wipes... thatll get all the oil off, stop them from blowing :D also, if you look at the glass and theres a brown/burnt looking patch, thatd be where he touched them... if not, he didnt touch them lol
