The_Bishop Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks for this walk-though. Just finished and it took me about 2hrs from the time I stepped in the garage, including the soldering and dust cap alteration, to when I rolled the car back off the ramps. I did it with the front bumper cover in place. Thanks again! - Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior05 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have a question.. I did the fog light install today by accident and moving to fast on the ballets I plugged it wrong negative to positive.. I went to turn on my car and test before I put on my bumper again..so I tried it and obviously it didn't work..I looked at my wiring and saw my mistake I fixed but still no good..can anyone tell me if I'm shit out of luck or is there a way to fix the problem..(I've checked all fuses nothing's blown) .. Please of anyone could help I would appreciate all the feedback I can get.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xero287 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Maybe you blew the ballast. Call the person you got them from and see if they can get you a new ballast under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaroslaw Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Did you ever have a problem with the fog lights with HIDs in them turning on only sometimes or just on or the other or none at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustincredible Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Pictures are down again. I would like to complete this project sometime in the next two weeks. Thanks, OP!

V8Bait Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Pictures are down again. I would like to complete this project sometime in the next two weeks. Thanks, OP! BTW, try uploading it on imgur.com. Best site for hosting images. I would just upload the pics directly into the post so they are not hosted by a website. That way they will never crash. I would like to see Post #21 pictures if possible Also, where are you guys mounting your fog light ballasts?

absolutsnwbrdr Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Fixed them all - uploaded right to the thread. No more shenanigans! Fixed #21 too I just mounted mine to any flat surface I could find. My low's mounted underneath the edge of the fender panels. Forget where my highs are mounted. I think one is on the washer fluid box, and the other is just on part of the frame. Just used 3M VHB tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcLgtSTI Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Great thread instructions!! Def. helped me install my new Diode Dynamics 3000k Fog lights. Modding the caps and re-splicing the wires were a little tedious but with the right tools it came out perfect and only took me 2 1/2 hours (mostly because I took my time looking for a nice mounting spot and making sure I cut the caps correctly. I sprayed some rubber sealer around the grommet to ensure no moisture gets in just incase. Here are some pics!! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c245/pantsmasterflex/IMG_2536.jpg The Drem. worked great and I cut the circles a little bigger than 7/8 to ensure the grommet has walls to wrap around. Then sprayed with sealer. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c245/pantsmasterflex/IMG_2537.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c245/pantsmasterflex/IMG_2539.jpg Quick test! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c245/pantsmasterflex/IMG_2540.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c245/pantsmasterflex/IMG_2546.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c245/pantsmasterflex/IMG_2547.jpg Edited December 12, 2013 by MarcLgtSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_2.5GT Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I actually went a different route with the install, and drilled a roughly 1" hole in the conical section of the dust cap. I placed the wires and all in the cap the way you would with the lows (with the H3 wires going into the normal cap receptacle), and just had to finagle the wires around to get the cap to go on. It might've been more of a pain to get the cap on, but I think it's way better than hacking up the H3 HID bulb harness and potentially voiding the warranty from the HID company (DDM in my case... lifetime, so decent).

Arcteryx Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I just did this today with a kit from DiodeDynamics. Like Rock_2.5GT above, instead of hacking up the factory harness and removing the back of the dust cap, I drilled a 7/8" hole in the side and put the grommet in there: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d122/sbanman/car%20pics/20150125_1330421.jpg You might want to grind off some of the ribs on the outside to get the grommet to sit nicely without folding over. Then, since the HID harness had two male connectors for the triggering connectors, and the factory connectors have one male, one female, I made a simple adapter harness to connect the ground side of the two: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d122/sbanman/car%20pics/20150125_1330491.jpg All connected up: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d122/sbanman/20150125_1332131.jpg Note that you only really have to make this connection on one side (driver's side), since there will (usually) only be one trigger connector going to the relay. You can just tape up the red and black wires on the other side. Honestly, the most time-consuming part of the whole process was trying to blindly fit the cap back onto the back of the housing, since I didn't remove the front bumper and instead went at it from underneath. There's actually lots of room to work, it's just not easy to see what you're doing! Edited January 25, 2015 by Arcteryx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL5BO Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I installed 35w 6000K HID on my car this evening! I modded my Cap differently as well. I removed the O-Ring, and actually took a utility blade and cut about a .5" slot on the bottom of the cap. Now that theres a small opening on the bottom, run the wires to the little slot and replace the O-ring. Lock the cap back and viola! Also anyone have issues with their HID's pulsating or flickering? Theyre on, but still pulsating My "Alpine White" 06 LGT: The Kabigon [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre on, but still pulsating Make sure your lights are switched on. They will automatically turn on because of your DLR's but it will send low power, which will cause them to flicker. Or disconnect your DRL. My headlights / fogs would flicker if I drop the E-brake without turning my headlights on.

Diode Dynamics Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If you haven't installed an HID relay harness yet, I highly recommend doing so! That should be your first step. If that doesn't prevent the flickering, you'll want to add a capacitor. The relay should do the trick though IMO! Nick C. John C.

My headlights / fogs would flicker if I drop the E-brake without turning my headlights on. Yea i have disabled DRL's and i also have it wired so i can run parking lights and fogs only. I have been driving with them on the past couple days and its been fine so far. I did order a pair of Capacitors though.

I do have a pair of capacitors that will be here tomorrow. Hopefully, that will fix the light pulsating! Thanks for your help!

Capacitors are a good first step at preventing flickering, but you really should be running an HID relay harness. It's an added safety precaution worth adding. Nick C. John C.
