The quintessential thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...&highlight=hid

My only changes to the thread above:

• Remove headlights using technique in owners manual (lift lever, etc.)
• Place lamps on protective blanket (I used styrofoam from HID box) on ground, lens down
• Remove cover from rear of light assemblies (see owners manual)
• Remove existing bulbs (low beam--one farthest from lens glass front)--lift wire lock and disconnect wire)
• Cut brown wire that is connected to the lamp housing
• Strip Brown wire and install a female spade connector to the brown wire
• Insert new HID bulb into bulb slot in headlight assembly
• Some have had to file hole to make HID bulb fit (for me, one was tight, but I was just careful to slide it in carefully)
• Connect the two wires from the HID bulb to the brown wire and the wire that was connected to the existing bulb (see the other post for color info--I don't recall OTTOMH)
• Use a 1" or 1 1/4" hole saw to cut through the back of the removed cover (I did my on the flat section next to the sloped portion)
• Feed wires from HID bulb assembly through drilled hole and seat the rubber grommet
• Move on to the ballasts--Place ballasts in trunk
• Cut a small (1-4 - 1/2") slit in grommet in trunk sidewall
• Feed ballast power line from ballast, through slit, and into fender
• Place tower in headlight hole
• Rest light assembly on towel and feed wires from headlight assembly from fender, through slits in grommet, into trunk
• Connect wires from headlight assembly to ballast
• Connect wires from ballast to headlight assembly
• Remove towel and slide headlight assembly back into its normal position
• Pull slack wires into trunk and mount ballast inside trunk
• Done

Nope - you forgot the prerequisite demand for pictures of the car.

I will tell you this -- Mike Cap sent a similar email to me when I first joined...now I would like to call us online rennlist buddies

He is very knowledgeable/helpful... in fact just today took my personal call at work to help me with MY hid light kit issue..

 

BT47 -

Welcome to the board . . . glad to have you around! There's a lot of good . . . and good info around here . . . don't take anything / anyone too seriously.

Welcome to Rennlist BT47! Go ahead with the HID mod, you won't regret it!

This is another Calvoism (not Calvinism).

 

Mark,

You're the only one that got it.

Cap

 

IIRC you have posted this before and you have a personal financial interest in this site...don't you? And unless I am mistaken John D has warned you before about advertising your site...why don't you just front up the cash to be a Rennlist Sponsor?

Besides, IIRC from your previoius spamfests your prices were on the high side.

If I am wrong, my apologies in advance.

 

Hey fbfisher...your Avatar caught my attention...I thought: "Is it a Riviera blue car reflecting there?"... then I realized you got Alan's signature...that Riviera blue Cab is something else!!!! I love that car...

Take care...

 

Correct! I love that shot of downtown Los Angeles and the cars. Wish I had one just like it hanging on my wall in my office.
