i dont have the package 2, but a buddy of mine found me some ballasts and bulbs from a bmw (HID of course). so the questions is: How do i retrofit bulbs and ballasts to a non HID housing?

 

how about you start doing a search. this has been covered a million times over!

 

Don't do it - lighting performance will drop and you will endanger other drivers because no auto dipping.

If you must have blue lights get the halogen bulbs or buy used HIDs from C from auto wrecker like car-part.com (won't have auto dipping but you will have HID performance)

This retrofits are complete hack jobs.

 

auto dipping is not on some factory cars with hid such as the TSX.

just get a aftermarket ket h7 instead of using a bmw D1S or D2S kit

 

Just visit DDM and get a h7 kit for <80 bucks

 

thanks a bunch man!!

i never would have known about ddm even with a "search"

Make sure you purchase a set of error cancelers with the DDM kit.

Also, what kind of bulbs did you guys get? It has to be H7 to work properly.

 

... ddm is all over this forum.
anyway.. expect a 2-3 week wait.. they're slow with orders as of late.

 

btw thinking of selling my kit as its been sitting in my trunk unistalled for 3 weeks

 

I just used a MTEC kit on my SLK. This kit was mega professional and is good to go out of box. I recommend it, worth the extra money.

 

what kind of HID kit do you have?

 

ddm h7 kit
55w ballasts
6000k bulbs
Error cancel wires

Never installed, just don't have time.

 

A friend of mine bought from a kit seller who promotes at lot on this forum - cheap price. We test fit first and returned it because:

1. light to ballast wires too short - no where to properly mount ballast. Need at least 5' wire.

2. Drilling out lamp housing covers to pass wires through opens up a moisture gap - lamps will fog up. Sealing this is a complete hack job and unreliable at best so did not do it.

3. Beam pattern and light output was terrible. Std lamps not for HID - simple.

It was fast to connect but overall solution was terrible.
