xentec hid kit on my ge8
ok i just recieved it yesterday. i want to put it on myself but a little confused. do i have to take off the front bumper in order to do this ? if there is a thread for DIY HID GE8 then can you please send =]

No, you don't have to remove front bumper. It is PnP. Just remove 9003/HB3 bulbs but you need to trim rubber seals behing the bulbs to make them fit with HID base. If it is Bi-Xenon kit, connect the controller to one side of the OEM harness (driver side) and connect power source from the battery. Please keep in mind that DRL on the dash will come on side the Bi-Xenon kit connect to one side of the harness.

9003/HB2 = H4
There are 3 types of HID. Low beam only HID, low beam HID and halogen high beam, and Bi-Xenon HID (both low and high beams are HID).
You have to look at your bulbs to tell that it is BiXenon or not.

cause i get the xentec HID but in order for me to turn it on i have to go high beam ? and then my fogs dont turn on =[, how do i fix this ?

You say your headlights only work when you have your high beams on? With the dashboard indicating high beam is on, that's the only time your headlights are on?
OK HB2 and H4/9003 have different pinouts. For halogens, it doesn't make a difference, however, for HID's it does. You have to switch one of the pins. I'm assuming you have the low beam kit only. You should have only two pins. Find the black pin, and remove the pin and move it to the other blank spot. That should do the trick.
If it doesn't, put it back and move the red one to the other side.
If you still can't figure it out, i'd recommend taking your car to a local fitfreak that does know how to install HID's, or a mechanic shop that knows what they are doing.
Xentec kits are nice, i'm running them in my retrofit, but next time go with hidextra.com

If you have Bi-Xenon kit and don't circuit diagram, you can look at mine at URL below. I have Bi-Xenon head lights as well as HID fog lights.

Daytime running lights?

I have bi-xenons in my headlights and std hid in my fog lights. All I did was put the bulbs in, add power to the harness. I also pulled the DRL fuse from the fuse panel. Have both low and high beams. But as is standard my fog lights go out when the high beam is switched on. Have had no issues at all. I also have a xenec kit.

DDM is THE kit to buy, period! I paid $53.00 for mine and have no problems in over 5 monthes! I went with the 6k kit, but if you went with the 4300k kit, you'd be happy too I bet.
I have 3 buddy's that have this kit, no problems....EVER!

BTW, I had two "JLM" kits and a Xentec, I disliked the Xentec the most. It had the WORST output cutoff, I could see it blinding others until I aimed it further down (but that meant most of the light was hitting the ground too close to me).
