Day running light and HID on standard CU2

[leo]

I'm planning to get a HID kit when my car arrives

just wondering how hard is it to fit it?

I'm planning to get it from JDMYard for $245 with 5 years warranty

Thinking of getting 8000k but scared that cops might give me a hard time

fitting is not hard, but if u r not sure how to fit then better pay someone to do it for u.

jdmyard hid....er......i went to their shop last week.....seem same as cheap kit on ebay....it made in taiwan or china.... why dont you choose kaixen?

btw dont worry about cops, i had 8000k for 7months until now, no problem at all, even with purple parkers.

6000K is probably better imo, better visibility and easier on your eyes as well. Seeing everything blue loses it's excitement after a while.

yea, 6000k is the best visibility, so i am getting 6000-6500k kaixen hid kit

big different between 55w and 35w?

any chance that 55w going to overheat

I think your stock halogens are 55W

yea, problem is though HID's are not halogens, so not sure how it'd work

anyone here with a Std CL9 and a HID kit, where did you mount the ballasts?
there is hardly any room in the engine bay for them?

55W draw is still 55W draw - your wiring is designed to allow for 55 watts without melting, so you won't cook ur wires

[oongie]

55W FTW... Make sure you point them DOWN~
N3M3SiS mount the ballasts under the plastic housing...
battery side is easy, but the water bottle side you'll need to undo the hi-beam wires to fit the ballasts.

[N3M3SIS]

no worries, I'll give that a shot

Cheers

i mounted mine under the wheel arc....just need to tak out some of the clips screw (dont know what there called) but they hold the plastic that goes around the wheel arc....pull that out and there are some holes that you can mount the bracket and the ballast (did mine using cable ties) then you just replace the plastic cover lik normally. there are some holes on the side walls near the head lights which allows you to runn the cables into the wheel arc =]

I took off my front bar and if you look on the corner, there are slots... These slots fit the Ballasts perfectly. In our manual, there is 35 and 55w options, but i stuck with 8000K 35 w ballasts and its been great for me for like 3 years now.
