mmanus88 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 i installed a set of 6k HIDs recently and they work great, but there are a few quriks that i'm curious about. first off, if i want my HIDs on (or off) i have to always have the e-brake on before i start the car, ande depending whether i want the HIDs on or off determines the light switch. when the HIDs are on, i try to put the light switch to the off position, and they flicker out, then if i put it right back to the on position they don't come back. did i do something wrong here or is this how third party systems work on legacys?

ScoobyLife Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Make sure you disable your Daytime running lights, there is not enough voltage to support HIDs. While your lights are in the off position they will flicker due to not having enough voltage support. I haven't installed my yet, but I think that might be the issue.

mmanus88 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 do not have time to show you the innards, but here are my pics (submitted to blinglights for show). gives u an idea of how bling's look compared ot other HID kits (and the stock halogens) my opinion on the HIDS and tis particular 6k kit: iw as blown away when i first fired these babies up. the difference from halogens was night and day! these HIDs light up my whole field of vision while driving and i love 6k because its the perfect mixture between pure white light and an eerie shade of blue. anyone interested in HIDs, these kits are highly reccomended. plus i was able to get them in without any hole-making, the job looks professional, no wires hanging anywhere, everything tucked away. http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=viewall&albumID=253695439 i will try to get some snapshots of the elctrical work over this weekend (midterms ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbi012 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 DAM EA, nice pics. I noticed that you have rear sensors, did you install them or its an option there? If you did it, what brand did you use? Edit: one more thing, how much did you get the front lip spoiler for? is it a replica or OEM? Thanks.

axis008 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 We're sorry! The Webshots page you have requested has either moved or no longer exists On another note, that is a sweet garage! Can you take a front picture with your HIDs? (Unless it's in the Webshots already... If that's the case then I'll just wait ) -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
