wait...how did a DIY request for if anyone knows how to install HID's on ED's go to this???

*PALM-FACE*

First- HID installs are pretty easy but if you're not confident don't do it, get Ben (Bennjamin) to do it (minimal cost, insurance its 100% and optimally running)

Second- HID's are a defect if they're not in the a special headlight projector thing and to be frank i dont think there are any Headlight Projectors for them (even on ebay).

You can get HID's and put them in your standard thing (like i am gonna have to) but its likely that it will blind people (I don't really wana go HID's but i may, if i do i do only plan to go to 4-6000k)

(Second and a Half) Why is it you want HID's? If you want it bad enough the RISK of DEFECTS will not stop you (Just like the risk of loosing my license has not stopped me from taking Turbo cars around the block )

as MZXO7K said almost anything you put on a car to make it from STANDARD to NON STANDARD can = Defect, ASM magazine sometime in the past had a letter from a very angry person whom (to cut it short) had just had a shitload of work done to his Rx7 and had it ALL CERTIFIED....he copped a canary for EVERYTHING that was CERTIFIED!!!

Third- In hignsight you can probably find some UBER 1337 BULBS like the american's have/do and it will provide you with plenty of vision @ night and if need be for late night runs get some Foggies.

Fourth- Goodluck

hmmmm.. i'll keep that in mind... But can i install a custom projector inside the headlight? i see ppl do it with their EG and EF's o_0".. the headlight is stock, but all the did is take off the cover, and did some crap and got them selves a DIY projector headlight? lol

Just to clear some things up:
1/ Even if you get mods engineered you can still be defected for them. An engineers certificate does not guarantee you can't be defected, it simply makes it much easier to have the defect cleared.

2/ For factory HID's to be deemed legal they need to meet certain requirements in Australia, typically they need to comply to Australian Design Rules pointing specifically at lighting. HID's to be factory fitted must have: Self levelling system, properly designed projector housings with a maximum cut-off height, lens washer system (which is why you see factory HID cars have those ugly little jets on the bumper).

3/ Whatever you do, you do it at your risk. However, in regards to HID's you also do it at the risk of other drivers as you will most likely blind oncoming traffic at one point or another. We can advise you of places to get them fitted, but some of us like to make sure that you know it's illegal and potentially very dangerous.

hmmm thx thx thx

HID's aren't designed for headlights with reflectors, only design for projectors.. Even so, fitting HID's on a car that doesn't come with it standard IS a defect.

i saw the " ur25xc " ED, he had HID on , just tonight, he was going the oppisite direction as me, the lights didnt bouce off everywer, it was stable

[twitch]

hmm, well i was impressed by this ED i saw around campsie/canterbury, his plate number was " ur-25-xc" if any one seen it, it has i think 6000k or 8000k hid, and it was really nice it didnt bounce off everywer.. and i have a friend that has an EG with 8000k hid, it seemed fine, nothing bad about it..

its me that u saw in campsie... anyways i got the 8000k, thanks anyway.....

Do you have the projector lens? Or is it the completely original ED headlights?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

I believe he is running standard lens.

no i dnt have projector lens, just a standard ED headlights

[Henessaayyy]

And its good on the road? Doesn't blind people and gives you good sight?
Do you have both High & Low beam HID or just low?

If it worked for twitch, I might invest in a HID kit
