Where is everyone attaching the ballasts for the kits? I am debating on getting these, but am just curious where the ballasts are placed. Thanks!

Anyone has pics of the H3 fogs 50w (or even 35w) 4300k-6000K in the stock 04-06 main housing? Street illumination pics or something so you can see the difference with the fogs on/off.
I'm sorry, I still do not

You can follow these instructions, they are for a 9006 kit, but everything is the same except for the plug that goes into your OEM connector.
http://home.comcast.net/~patcourt/in...ions/page1.htm

Also, things to check when the lights are not turning on are:
1) check ground, make sure its secure (black wire)
2) check power wire, make sure its secure (red wire)
3) make sure the tabs on the connectors that go into ballast are facing outward
4) double check all connectors, make sure they are secure
5) double check the connection that goes into your OEM connector, make sure it is secure

I also sent you a PM

Oh well, there will always be people that will feel that way. I always feel like they are more than welcome to buy an eBay kit, but when things go wrong or they need help or a replacement part, their not gonna get to much support from there seller.

How do your kits work with Daytime Running Lights?
I'm from Canada, so my Headlights have 3 "settings":
1) Daytime Running Lights
2) Low Beam
3) High Beam

Will I run into any problems if I install one of your kits?
How will they work with the daytime running lights?

Thanks.

Yes we can. The price is still the same $130 shipped, you just need to order H3 bulbs with an H4 wiring harness so it still plugs into your OEM connector.

Usually you have to disable the Daytime Running Lights for aftermarket HIDs to function properly. But sometimes you can just set it to your number 2 setting (Low Beam) and it will function without having to disable anything on your car.

Most other aftermarket kits use the same style AMP connectors, so that way parts are more easily interchangeable.

As for the H1 bulbs, we do carry them in yellow and white. Yellow is $80 for a pair of bulbs. White is $60 for a pair of bulbs. And they would connector up to the two wires coming out of the ballast.

Operatic: I'm looking to buy HID's for my fog lights in my 98 maxima. I bought HID's from you over a year ago for my headlights and they're still going strong =)

Like i said, i have a 98 maxima, and i want the custom yellow colour as well. Which bulb do i get, and what's the diff between the 35W and 50W ballast? Sorry it looks like it got a bit more confusing for me this time around lol.

Plz let me know what bulb I need to get and I'll buy them from you asap.

Thanks!

How would the kits work for the new r34 lights? The r34 lights have a socket that plugs into the stock 9004 harness. If you disconnect the low-beam and put in the hid. How would you wire it to work without losing the high-beam? I'm confused.

Glad to hear your HIDs are still running strong. As for your 1998 Nissan Maxima, they use an H3 bulb for the fog lights. As for the difference between 35W and 50W ballast is that the 50W ballast produce a brighter light than the 35W.

We do actually, and so you know, for a pair of bulbs, it is $60 shipped.

From the sounds of it, there is a small conversion harness that goes from the new bulbs to your OEM connector. What we would need to know is what size bulb the R34 headlights use, I do believe it is a 9006, but if you could just verify for me, that would be great. But we would give you a 9006 kit so that way our relay harness plugs into the low beam end of your 9004 -> 9006 harness that came with the R34 headlights.

From what I'm told the 55w is a lot brighter than the 35w. I guess you can imagine it. I'm also sure that 35w ballast provides enough light to put on the road but if you're not satisfied then I'm sure the 55w one will fill that lighting void.

A 2008 Honda Accord 2 door uses an H11 for the low beam
A 2008 Honda Accord 4 door uses a 9006 for the low beam

Also, we do carry 5000k. Also, these single xenon kits do not contain the high beam as it is not needed for your application since the high beam is on a separate bulb.

I ordered a set of 9005 HIDs in 6000K for my 2008 Maxima, but I forgot to type in the MAXIMA promo. Anyway, I hope to get them soon.

The neat thing is that on the 2008, only one bulb is used for both the hi/lo beam. When you switch to the hi, the cut-off shield moves out of the way for a higher beam pattern.

operatic...I have the r34 lights on my 95 max. My max comes stock with 9004 harness. I believe the r34 lights come with 9006 lights. So I would need that set up for my max for 8k 50w. My question is...someone in another thread purchased that same set up and said that 8k 50w is not ice blue but more of a pure white! It that because of the extra watts? I really want the ice blue look. Do you have any input on this? I don't want a true blue or pure white. But a nice mix is what I'm looking for.

That is actually pretty cool, I gotta Google that to see it in action

What you would need is just a 9006 kit. As the R34 lights have a conversion harness that turns the 9004 plug into a 9006 / 9005 plug. So you would just need a 9006 kit so it plugs into the conversion harness.

Color depends on the type of housing, if someone purchased an 8000k kit and it was more of pure white, your best bet would be for a 10,000k or 12,000k kit at that point. I am unfamiliar with that specific type of housing but I do know that different housings do create different colors, be it magnified or dulled, all housings have a certain type of prism effect.

Also the 50w kits do drop the kevlin colors about 1,000k's. The anytime you go higher watts in the ballast, the kevlin color gets dropped a bit. So back again to the going higher up in the kevlin rating.

Operatic...actually the conversion harness I got with the r34 is shorting out on me. I have to pop my hood and wiggle the wires every night before I hit the road!! And sometimes they go off while driving. So I would need a new/better conversion wire if you sale those. And you answered my question...using the 50w kits drop the kelvin colors about 1k. I will be ordering...just wanna make sure I get what I need the first time around, and a better harness than the crap that came with the r34 lights.

So what we can do is give you a 9004 harness with 9006 bulbs. That way it plugs into your OEM harness and into your low beams. Our kit only plugs into one side of your OEM harness, so the other side would be bare. We can provide you with 9004 -> 9005 harness for the side that does not plug into our kit so you still have your high beams on that side. As for the side that does connect to our wiring harness, we can provide a 9005 plug with some spare wires and you can splice it into our harness (it has 2 unused wires in case of situations like this) so you'll have high beams on that side also. Hope that makes sense.

Also, I'll be at Colt State Park, Bristol, RI today at a car meet, if anyone is in the area, feel free to drop by and say "Hi!" I'll be driving a Red '94 Acura Integra lowered with chrome rims. I'll also have some HIDs and LEDs with me if you want to see them in person or want to buy some while you're there.

Uh, so you are telling me that the 50w 4300K that I bought from you will basically look like stock halogen at 3300K? I'm changing them to xenons to fit my stock 4300K HIDs, not to look like I run halogens :| If I knew that before ordering I would have gotten 6000K to look like 5000K.

I guess I'll try to install them when I get them, but if they look like halogens, that's going to be a major **** off.
