Hid kit

[champagneaccord]

This looks amazingly easy but what the fuck am i doing wrong, connecting ballast parts to light bulb and connecting stock peice to my stock headlight shit, and then connecting anything else to common sense area, BUt NOOO does not work, either ballast or bulb

[champagneaccord]

cancel that, issue was the part that connects to the stock harness is not a direct fit, had to modify mine, got it owrkin

For the sake of other drivers on the road. Stay away from "hid kits" do a retro.

are there any kits for retros that i can purchase... I won't be able to do a custom kit till summer and i don't want to wait that long...

www.hidplanet.com, make your own kit, you need projectors, bulbs, ballasts, shrouds, tools, etc.... I would just invest in something thats going to be 1 million times better then wasting $250 on a "kit" for your stock lights.

but don't i need to have a casing... I looked at hid planet and they only provide one with the "guts" of the casing. Where is a good place for casing... like s2k retro or tsx retros.. those looked really nice.. but again ppl spent a lot of time on those... and i'm too busy this semester. lol

The kit did not just 'plug' in, we had to modify one of the connections in order for it to fit, the prongs were too close to eachother in order to just snap in like a stock bulb.....damn aftermarket

hahah just do it inbeteeen school and hwk and all that. Im in the middle of doing a retro atm. Just find the Projectors first or if you can find the Projectors+HID bulbs and ballast thats great but you can. Also if its the first time u do the retro, id reccomend you getting a spare set of headlights for your CB7. just imo unless u wanna work the orginals thats all up to you, but don't expect it to be one afternoon thing, it takes a while.

word of advice, make your own wireharness to draw the power from the battery on initial startup becuase it can/will fry your harness =P

My first retro took like 2 weeks, but that was mostly because I had to wait for stuff to come in the mail. The second time It took 2 days, but that was mostly waiting for jb weld to dry, fiberglass to harden, sanding and painting.

The actual process of a retrofit is not hard at all since all you do is cut a hole and shove the projector in and adjust it until the light pattern is straight. The part that takes forever is making it look nice.
