skubdu Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 hence the word, upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It's not an upgrade just because it is aftermarket. I'm not the expert though, so I don't know for sure. There is an HID board that knows the most about this kind of thing. hidplanet.com or something like that I think.... You'll get lots of opinions here, but over there you'll get responses from people who may be a little more specialized in this area. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

richip Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Heard the 2006 is going to get it. Wonder if those parts can be used on the 05 without a major rewire. At least that's what I'm counting on. Any of the OEM vendors know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 if you take a look under the coverof the under hood junction box, you will see theres a spot factory for "hid relay" of course.. its empty.. I do not know if the wires are ran or not, but I managed to retrofit mine start to finish including clearing the lenses in about 10 hours with a friend. This was w/o any instructions and a tube of silicone. I would post a how-to but I didn't take any pics of the process. However if you'd like, I can try to explain it when I have more time to type. OH clarification of above, I retrofitted an aftermarket kit, not OEM... I re-read it and it sounded misleading heh the stock reflectors are different than reflectors usually used for HIDs,I think... the reason I say that is because the top of the cutoff is yellow instead of blue, other than that, I can't tell a difference between my friends acura HIDs and my McCullochs..
