HID Install w/pics

Just wanted to post my HID install.


Remove the screws (A, B) and clips (C, D) securing the front bumper (E). NOTE: To remove the clips C and D, pry the inner pin up at the edge near the line (F) on its head.

Pull on the front bumper (A) at the wheel arch areas to release it from the hooks (B) on the side spacers (C).

With the help of an assistant, pull the wheel arch portion away from the side spacer (A) while pulling the front bumper to release the bumper from the hooks (B) on the upper beam (C).

If equipped, disconnect the front fog light connectors (A), then remove the front bumper (B).

Remove the front bumper absorber (A) from the front bumper beam (B).



Install the bumper in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
  •  
    • If equipped, make sure the front fog light connectors are plugged in properly.
    • Make sure the front bumper engages the hooks (of both upper beams and side spacers) on each side securely.
    • Check for damaged or stress-whitened clips, and if necessary, replace them with new ones.
    • Push the clips and hooks into place securely.
I drilled and mounted the ballast and got rid of the washer fluid bottle since i don't use it.


Tested the lights to make sure they are good before reinstalling the bumper.

Before:

After:


Still Got My Highbeams.


Thanks for checking this out. Let me know what you guys think.

ya it must be bec i had both the halogen high beam ones and the bixenon ones and my bixenons highs dont look nothing like that, trust me i thought i didnt need high beams but once i got the bixenons man wat a difference, i dont know why i didnt go that way to begin with. its like night and day compared to the halogen highs.
