I have a feeling that quite a lot of people will be asking this in a couple days as there kits arrive from the groupbuy. Who has done this ? How difficult was it ? Do you have any pictures of the install ? Where did you find a place for the ballast ? Wiring ? All help is more than welcome !

thanks

theres been a lot of Halogen to HID converstions.... do a search, and IIRC there's an article in the Tech section that should be able to help you out and guide you through it.

The Misterjung HID kit is "special" in the way that he puts an actual H7 base on the HID bulb so it fits properly into the socket. Which is nice.

The rest of it is the same as any other kit.

Ballast has a plug with 2 powers (power and ground) and 1 wire going to the ignitor.

You cut a hole in the bottom of your projector to pass these wires to. Then the ignitor snaps ont the bulb.

For power/ground, the easiest thign to do is solder on 2 male spades and plug them right into the plug that would normally connect to the H7 halogen bulb. Purple is power and brown is ground.

Attach the ballast to the BOTTOM of the projector with velcro or zip ties or whatever.

I have a 97 so I had to get the different adapters which i got from AWE Tuning for around $25. Here is a pic of his 7000k kit installed in my 1-piece valeo's.
