6000k Hids For My Black Edition 2015

Featured Replies

Hello there !

I'm new here and i just got my black edition today, and i had a 6000K HID set laying around at home, so hey why not just install it in my new car.

But here is the question, is it hard to install ? i do know that i have to take the headlight of from the car and cut a hole in the bulb rubber thingy so i can put the wires through but its that all? i mean can you put the bulb in the wrong way or is there only one way to put it in and that is the right way, so it dosent light upwards and dazzle people.

I remember i had biig biig problems with that when i had my old alfa romeo 156 where everyone flashed me back cause the bulb were put in the wrong way and it was just a normal halogen bulb lol..



As long as you have projector lenses you should be ok I fit them to my ST no problem. Fix the ballasts under the headlights for a discreet look

When fitting HIDs you tend to want the bar to be at the bottom of the headlight, it stops the nasty shadows that you can sometimes get

Here's how I fitted mine:

I did have 8000k (but were too blue):

You can't put the bulb in the wrong way because it has a tab on it. But as Marc said it's worth cutting a tab in the bottom of the bulb holder and mounting it the other way up. Otherwise you end up with two black shadows.

Bulbs inserted "correct way up" with black lines as a result:
