ok so i just bought 9004 HID xenon headlights made by plasma industries. if anyone has bought these can you tell me what you think of them. also i dont have the manual and dont know how to install the lights. if anyone can give me detailed directions on how to install the lights it would be greatly appreciated. someone gave me some smart *** directions which didnt help (yes i know you open the hood).

 

Open hood.
Locate back of headlight housing.
Look for "O" shaped ring with wires in the center. Ring is about 2" in diameter. It has a latching mechanism like milk lids do. Seriously.
Squeeze the latch tabs and twist/turn counter-clockwise.
Pull the ring back.
(I forget if this step is necessary...if not, it will be obvious)Rotate the whole wiring/light assembly counter-clockwise.
Pull the assembly out.
Press the clip that holds the wiring harness into the bulb and seperate them.
DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW BULB WITH YOUR FINGERS.
Plug it in, reverse the process.

 

thank you, i will try to follow the directions.

 

So are these HID "headlights" just bulbs or the real thing with balasts and whatnot?

 

I'm guessing they're just headlights - which are crap.

Ditch those and get yourself some Philips BlueVisions instead.

 

Or for $10 more, silverstars. Either is a better choice than what you have now.

 

something i've always wondered... is there anything to xenon lights... i think its probably just a sales trick. i'm guessing its just a normal halogen light with tinted glass. am i right?

 

yeh some are. but actual xenon gas makes a white light like the one in flash cameras....dont know why its so hard to make a white headlight tho.
