How To Install HID Headlights (Conversion Kit) [DIY]

[@kylebialoszynski6749]

Everyone, please use a HID projection kit! They are 25 dollars. They are what the HIDs go into so the light is focused on the ground instead of blinding people. It is somewhat hazardous otherwise. Why make it easier for you to see, when it's more of a hazard for other? Please be curious when converting to HIDs. They are a great invention, but being responsible is very important. One brand is Nilight. Thanks.

[@giministwin1975]

Thanks for the upload, and also thanks for not rambling for 7 min about stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the video! If all of your videos are like this, I'm subscribing!

[@olegv785]

The reason being is that some (not all) of the HID conversion kits will need the headlamps to be readjusted, otherwise they will be shooting up too high and blinding everyone on the road, just like high beams would. Totally uncool, but totally fixable.

[@nheil4778]

Thanks for the straightforward explanation and mounting example. This helped me a lot.

[@CasualGamer2K24]

Beautiful colour.. absolutely beautiful

[@jackiechan_wtf4041]

Great vid. Clear voice, used English "we" can understand, and very professional. Thanks for the Video:p

[@TheDisruptiveYouTuber]

You do realise that HID's in a reflector light cluster is illegal? Must be projector in order to throw out the correct light pattern. Reflector headlights scatter the light and into the eyes of oncomming drivers.

[@AustinEhm]

its not illegal

[@dylanclay2741]

TheMowingking in America it is illegal in most states, but in a few states its legal

[@reallycooly]

Some vehicles come with xenon headlights in reflectors,

[@dylanclay2741]

true, but theyre reflecters are designed to take the arc of the xenon lights, normal reflectors are designed for halogen optics

[@TheViperSquadrant]

they have HIDs that come with little covers that direct the beam to be able to be used in reflective housings

[@gamingsector7942]

I only have the lights, like in the box there r two of those lights, from where to get that box which u said give them electricity

[@tkohout87]

Guzs i had Volvo S60 before and that had normal headlamps but with Xenon pulbs and it was that from day one when i bought it in dealership so i think if you have a set the headlights properly that will not be a problem

[@ionutonea1537]

Hi. Thx for video. It is great. Please let me know if the head lights are projector or reflector ? Thank you.

[@newskibob]

They just redesigned the ballast completely and it is better than ever.

[@vampirerevin]

if your car has projectors already in the housing can you still use this kit

[@matthewackerley]

thx for vid. when and if you get custom parts for your car (hub caps etc.) will/could you please do vids on them?

[@giovannimoncada3460]

What you think about VVME hid kits? Your HID installation came out clean bro. 10k can look very solid.

[@Kaname628]

Great job!!! Now you're making me want to get some... It is a tight fit to find space and to keep it away from water but you did a super job with the location.

[@38unknownhinson]

[@FahimMotoGP]

how do you take off and replace just the bulb?

[@pgamache]

very helpful! well explained. Thanks!

[@marklemus3317]

ok wow great vid thx. I wont install without projectors tho.

[@STEALTHxNiNja14]

finally someone posts a tut on this, thanks

[@stormb3948]

Just thought I’d bring you back to this comment you made a decade ago for a little nostalgia, but mostly to remind you that you said “tut” for tutorial 😂 I guess people calling them “tuts” 10 years ago.

[@crazykawafool]

youre lucky you even have tht much space. i cant even get my hands inside to remove the damn bulb..

[@Idkwhat66]

Thanks for the video very informative. I don't have an hid projection kit on my jeep and they work as if it was the bulb itself. Other drivers don't seem bothered by them because nobody has flashed their high beams at me, I also think the ones who scatter the light are the aftermarket headlights from what I've seen. So I don't understand all this hate.

[@peterzinia3767]

Where was the "Hate". I must view it again cause I missed it. REVOLUTION!!

[@sgomez3047]

Nice job...but the divider's side is actually the (left) side....not the right...but I under why you call it incorrectly. 👍🏼

[@jbmjbm323]

Plug & Play aftermarket install...I don't think that is a good idea in my opinion because you run the risk of blowing fuses and possibly overheating the cars stock wiring, ruining it. By using a relay harness in between connections to the ballast, that seems safer to me and if anything goes wrong with the wiring, it is easier to change / fix the relay harmess instead of changing / fixing the cars stock wiring.

[@Dillyg978]

No

[@jamieworrall9258]

u dont know how much u helped me!!!!!

[@Raijin13]

Hey man, is this the 12V conversion kit or the 32V Canbus? Please and thanks in advance!

[@Alexpropman1]

Great video man.

[@mazdaman1982]

hey I gota ask you something ? , it looks like you have a newer car dose the HID's burn your headlight lens ? I own a 2014 mazda 3 GS and I want to get HID's for myn but I don't want to wreck the Lens's

[@dylanclay2741]

HIDs dont burn as hot as halogens

[@doublespeeded9369]

No it doesn't. You will not wreck your lens. HID bulbs use less wattage (usually 35w as apposed to 55w halogens) So it actually generates less heat, using less power but 2 - 3 times the brightness.

[@XTORM05]

no cancelors needed? no problems on dashboard?

[@chancelikesgirls]

Wow it's that easy again I have the same car except a 14 and had a hard time finding bulbs but damn hid kit. Haha super easy thanks you ha

[@EngageMk8]

No problem man! Enjoy your new ride :)

[@5444067]

The lights i bought did not fit my 98 chevy c1500 extended cab and it was not the bulb but the size of the connection

[@KingRavGT]

You need to get a tripod for your cam or a second guy. And if you build does HID in Germany you also need the Windshield wipers for it! Thats so shitty :(

[@MrSouthTampa]

Do you recommend 6000k or 8000k and 35watt or 55watt?

[@TTLMJ]

more k more blue. less k more light less watt help ur cars in everything

[@axtra92]

What model? All cars dont have them same conectors ?

[@KeepersWay]

should you get a relay harness ?

[@Gunflow4256]

Do you need a relay harness?

[@PhillyGamin]

When are you getting that car audio???

[@MrSpruceDread]

Did you have to upgrade the fuse from a 10 to a 20? I have a 13 ES as well, just ordered my HID kit but it would be cool if you could answer

[@Akon12399]

can it be installed on any car? I'm new to xenon and whats with the 10000k and all that?

[@shadowgt146]

+Alden Mujanovic find the bulb size for your car and the corresponding HID kit (make sure it comes with a ballast not just the bulb) the different rating are the tint of the light colour 10,000k are like pure blue 8,000k lighter blue and 6,000k are super whites

[@neellhd4542]

i have a ques.. u were using 10000k 35w HID..if u use a 55w, it would light brighter but does it affect the blue colour..?

[@ninetalekiller1]

If you put 10000K using a 55w ballast it is brighter and it WILL affect the color of the light output but not as much

[@neellhd4542]

ok ty

[@luvdisturbed1122]

Maybe a dumb question.. but what happens when you turn your bights on? Didn't you only replace the low beams with the HID kit? I'm new to HID lights so please forgive my lack of knowledge :(

[@THERIPPER216]

Nothing happens your brights just stay how they were

[@21visualz]

Do you have to remove the battery first before installing?

[@EngageMk8]

***** No, I didn't

[@linhphan6148]

Dtano SOunDz only if it's blocking your path.

[@bucketheadothers2384]

Clear as mud

[@Mustangrocket98]

nice that is want to install on my grand marquis

[@Shane23Armada]

these hid , can you flash them, incase someone runs over the road,

[@MrSouthTampa]

what kind of car do you have?

[@꽃수민-m7m]

5k or 6k 35w 55w ? I want bright white light with small blue tint

[@EngageMk8]

+난짱이야 This is 10k, if you want bright white with small blue, go 6k

[@williamatkins9365]

great video!!!!!

[@DukeBirdington]

Will this work on a 2006 mitshibishi GT eclipse?

[@EngageMk8]

Yup! You just got to make sure you get the correct bulb size. If you don't know your size you can email the company that I linked in the description and they may be able to help you!

[@darrenpea2498]

good video. thanks man. helps.

[@DCEnterprise2005]

I want to put HID's on my truck. On Acura vehicles, their HID headlights "blink" or "pop" or "flash" (call it whatever you want) when they come on. I noticed yours didn't do that when turning the lights on. How can mine "blink"? Thanx!!

[@EngageMk8]

zach crabtree I'm not too entirely sure. I didn't have that problem. I even bought a new car since I released this video and it came with HID headlights from the factory and they don't blink either. You shouldn't have a problem though, if you put them in your truck.

[@KingRavGT]

HID is not allowed in Germany! Just saying. Nice clip

[@electricwater83]

Just realized I bought 10000k bulbs and the 80000k I have now I'm.going to replace with the 10000k bulbs will the ballest still work and put out the 10000k

[@Alphahid]

Wayne Mc Cabe Hey Wayne, I would definitely consider using a lower temperature bulb. The 5000k or 6000k will still have a blue hue but will be significantly brighter and won't bother other drivers. As for your question, the bulb temperatures are interchangeable with ballasts. So the 10000k would work.

[@electricwater83]

Cheers thank you

[@iloveblp]

i put hid in my 2013 lancer and when i turn on my car the hid just flash until i turn on my headlights so i cant just my remote start, what can i do?

[@EngageMk8]

Wait, they flash even though the lights are turned off?

[@iloveblp]

yeah because the day time running lights

[@EngageMk8]

iloveblp I see, to be honest I'm not really sure. What company did you get them from? I'd contact the owner, or support people and ask how to fix the issue. I don't have DRL's in this one.

[@zanda677]

Noticed your not using the reflector HID Bulbs as you dont have projector lights, so you will be blinding people all the time while driving, perhaps you should tell people about this.....

[@bril2231]

To bad they're illegal as fuck and you can like get arrested for this.

[@EngageMk8]

+Brenton Rodriquez Yeah, I currently have life in prison

[@EngageMk8]

Scott Cappleman LMAO!!! XD

[@katieducky23]

Incorrect. Many Manufacturers are now PROVIDING HID or LED headlights as standard on many higher/Limited trims.

[@forekomf]

Good job.

[@AtenWasHere]

nice tutorial.

[@salwanismail4811]

Thanks for the video

[@EngageMk8]

No problem! Hopefully it help you :)

[@joshjohnson6754]

Looks awesome. :D!!

[@PhillyGamin]

It depends on which JL sub it was. I can get you a whole setup for that much. Get on skype soon and ill set you something up cheap.

[@earthling1_]

Nice video, man! I got some 6,000K lights myself!

[@humblecris5825]

Switch to 8000k. Trust me, way better then 6000k's.

[@humblecris5825]

Switch to 8000k. Trust me, way better then 6000k's.

[@earthling1_]

***** how so?

[@humblecris5825]

+A Dawg 6000k's are good but just bright white (no color) and dont have a long range. 8000k's are brighter combined with an crystal blue (really light blue) color and the range go further also seems to spread so your surroundings become more visible. I will never go back to 6000k's, still better then nothing but i just think 6000k's should be cheaper for their price.

[@earthling1_]

+Christian Amaya that is a good point. At least all HIDs are much better and more functional than halogens.

[@dramirez__]

Dope

[@kylekochel]

Dude you can't just swap an HID bulb into a reflector housing like that... You will BLIND everyone on the road.

[@GingyPhresh]

do these bulbs last long?

[@dylanclay2741]

GingyPhresh yes, a lot longer than halogens, but not as long as LEDs

[@asadamin8976]

did he just say unconnect?

[@ninetalekiller1]

Good luck driving in the rain with those lights man

[@EngageMk8]

Why? I've been using them for 6 months now and it's perfectly fine in the rain...

[@ninetalekiller1]

Cuz u loose some visibility when it rains and dark out

[@ninetalekiller1]

and also u might get flagged by cops for how blueish it might by

[@EngageMk8]

I can see just fine and they aren't as blue as the video shows. The camera picks it up more blue. Also, haven't had a single problem with police. I've even been behind multiple cops at night.

[@EngageMk8]

But it definitely all depends on the cop...

[@bunster4322]

yea reflectors are bad idea with HID kits.

[@AverageAlien]

Too bad that's illegal in the UK

[@lonewolf419noble]

no car useful tip

[@geopin7672]

nice

[@Nugzehdms]

woohoo this is great

[@꽃수민-m7m]

what hid is that 6k

[@Strokin383]

10k

[@꽃수민-m7m]

Cory Hayden​ 55w ?

[@Strokin383]

+Cory Hayden (DominatorC) 55 for more bright however looking back in this video he uses 35W

[@꽃수민-m7m]

Ooo ...

[@Strokin383]

+난짱이야 I have 6000K with 55W ballasts in my truck and I absolutely love it. I recommend the brand "Sportiva" off tempestdirect

[@TNTpwnage1]

Do you have to buy brights separate?

[@EngageMk8]

Yes

[@16087687790000000000]

installing HID's in a reflector housing REEEEE

[@brandonrellora]

Are they legal

[@googleuser7683]

No

[@jokesonyou9249]

unconnect?

[@THERIPPER216]

10k?

[@aaronaaron6348]

do not buy those conversion kits they are legal like everybody says by 6000 king or 10000k

[@ScottH1130]

+Aaron Aaron legal huh cool

[@aaronaaron6348]

+Scott H those conversion kits are superficial

[@nicholassmith8418]

10k is legal in ga. It only for off road. I had to take mine out. Going to 6k for my 06 impala

[@gman345ish]

All that blue is ugly. Regular xenon is better like on BMW, Lexus, Audi, vw, mercedes, Acura.

[@D3ft0ne]

+STK Gee That's like, your opinion, dude.

[@Guitardrumr]

+STK Gee In some cases, like mine, the bluer light helps my eyes better at night. I run 8k on my car, and the shift towards blue has helped my visibility a ton.

[@KingRavGT]

Why so mad? Haha

[@Chevelles]

You should retitle this video to be more accurate. Something along the lines of "How to install trash fake-ass HID headlights like poor people who can't spend the extra $50 to do it right with projectors". This isn't a conversion, this is swapping bulbs, it's what broke high school kids do because they are too dumb to know any better. People defending and /or doing this are the worst kind of stupid; you tell other people to deal with being blinded because your foodstamps and wic vouchers won't cover the cost of the projectors you really want. Blue bulb swaps are only considered cool in two places, section 8 housing and trailer parks.
