Caveat Emptor!
Well,6000K Kit received via FedEX today (8/23/08). After reading through the instructions to familiarize myself with them, I am installing the kit now.
Aargh! One of the white connectors (one on the car, not on the kit) that go inside the dust cap had one of the two metal tabs break off while I was connecting it. (Not the kit's fault, I knew that connector was kind of weak.) @#$%&. Now I have to locate a replacement white connector that I can splice on. It's always something. I am tempted to eliminate the connectors and just solder the wires together, but I don't want to hack it. Grrrr. I will continue with the installation and have to drive one-eyed for a bit.
Okay, got both headlights reinstalled in the car. When I got to the "test procedure"...no light. When I turn the headlight switch, I hear a zap like an electric shock. Is this the normal sound of the ignitor? I tried switching it off and back on three times with the same result. I don't want to push it anymore and fry something. Will have to go about troubleshooting...
Okay, did some basic troubleshooting. All the connectors seem tight. When I try the headlights, I hear the zap and the halogen high beams come on, indicating that the headlight connectors themselves are secured properly. I tried reversing the plug inside one of the caps. It doesn't fit properly when reversed so I really don't think this is correct. When I tried the headlights after reversing the wires...nothing. No zap, no lights. So I switched the connector back to the first orientation where the wires align kit red/NSX black and kit black/NSX white. (This is the correct alignment, right?) Back to the same result. I hear the zap (of the ignitor?) but no light. The halogen high beams still come on. One thing I am really not sure about is whether the prongs are properly inserting into the receptacles when I connect the connectors inside the dust cap.
I completed the physical installation of the HID kit itself, but the HIDs aren't working. The actual physical installation itself went very smooth, as advertised.
I can order the 8000k kit with payment. Too many deadbeats for special items.Do you have an 8000k? I need all show
My original halogen high beams looked very warm/yellow next to the HID's so ordered some PIAA extreme white 4100k bulbs for replacements. I just installed them and think they are just as warm/yellow as the OEM's. Anyone found a suitable match?
