installing hid?

rer220 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-17-2007, 11:20 PM

i have no clue on how to install my hid because it says to take it to the dealer when changing the bulb on the manual.
did anyone post a step by step tutorial on how to install it including how to remove the headlight etc... a post with lots of pictures.

where is the best place to mount the ballast.

Just curious, but is this an OEM HID unit; or an aftermarket unit?

this is for a after market kit. I can't find anything in the manual

H1 is the size for high beam, low beam and fog lights

Some of the early bugs had H4 bulbs in the mix. But the much larger majority use the H1 bulbs for the lights.

You'll need a 23mm drill bit to make the hole

Pull the light bulb out and show me a picture.

But I think it's H1.

Where are you from? Pls fill in your profile info.

hi guys

just to update...bulbs are H7 for my YOM 2007 NB

h1s could fit in there acutally, but the spring catch could not be a perfect fit = very dangerous for HID lamps.

cheers
