How to install HIDS in CB7..?

[JACCORD01]

How exactly do you install HIDS (lowbeam) into the CB7.. theres like no room at all in the hood to do anything, and to remove the old bulbs its a b*tch, if anyone could explain that would be great (: thanks!

first off remove the battery and you got room on the battery side on the other side theres enough room to removed the headlights

The driver side it feels as if the thing doesnt want to come out.

Sometimes the bulbs are a pita to get out if they haven't been messed with in a while. You may want to try using, but be gentle and don't kill it, some channel locks to turn it.

stick your hand in. and twist the bulb. and out it'll come out.

replace with HID. hide the ballast.

if plug and play. then plug and play.

if not tap into the wire harness.

My friend cb7 hids light caught on fire and once it caught the windshield wiper fluid near the driver light, the whole engine ignited.

Use an auxiliary harness, like one from 3bspecialties, to draw power directly from the battery. Plugging the HID kit directly into the stock wiring harness can overload the system, which will eventually burn out your wiring... it may even cause a fire.

Well my HID is only 35w.. i thought harnasses were only needed if its 55w+

He did? Where? I don't see that anywhere.





As for the 35w/55w distinction... I still wouldn't risk it. The new lower wattage systems MAY be safe, but a $15 harness is good insurance just in case they're not. It's a lot easier to get a cheap harness than it is to replace fried wiring!

what are some kits for low beams?

[deevergote]

For the stock housings, any 9006 kits.

If you're too lazy to search for HID kits... then you're too lazy to put them in.
