one plug into OBD under the steering wheel and the adapter plug into the plug ontop of the accelerator pedal, the original accelerater wiring plugs into the other side of the adapter.

Then you're good to go.

There's a plastic cover, all you need to do is turn the latch and then it will unhook from above the pedals.

The ODB looks like an old school computer port. It sits up under there, on the gear stick side (not the driver door side).

Thanks heaps Duffy! One more question; the power and eco modes, when using power mode does the car lose fuel effciency the higher i set it? e.g Power7? And the same applies to eco mode, does the car lose power/responsiveness or whatever when in eco mode?

They're sensitivity settings between the throttle and pedal travel.

So in ECO the throttle is less responsive.
In POWER its much more responsive.
ECO1 is the lowest
then unaltered is NORM
then POWER1 - 7 is max.

Put it on ECO 1 and then blip the throttle.
Then put in on POWER 7 and try, You'll notice the difference

Yeah ... I hopefully shouldn't have that problem should I ever get around to it, but I read on 8th that users have had some success with a pry tool and a heat gun :-s

The projectors on that site are meant to be ten fold better, seen photos of ebay vs retrofitsource and its noticable.

Hi:

Stage1 for the FD is USD 525 ex-works excl. shipping and paypal charges.

I replied with a post code, and asked for a complete sum. See what they say. Seems like they would ship.

but $525 is pretty steep =/

The eBay link is to HID for reflectors. These are similar to what the EP3 use, and the JDM FD2r uses these as well.

They will work just like normal HID's would in our AUDM cars since our reflectors headlights are made for a halogen light pattern, not a HID one. ^^

however i find the FD HID glare is no worse than a lifted 4wd.

Do what you please.

I have thing against anyone running HID's without projectors, they're an annoyance on the road and are done without any consideration towards other drivers.

That glare :-x
